Why did you roll the race you are?

I wish I could remember why I rolled (Male) Undead, but every day I wish I were a Dwarf :( Granted both races look dumb in w/e gear they have IMO, but I liberally use Deviates to offset that.

wotf sounded somewhat usefull, canibalize badass and way longer water breathing king...

i was pretty much spot on, except for the order of which one is the best :P

oh, and troll +throw sounded bad for a mage and berserking was pretty unappealing, and i wanted to be horde...

i wish i was alliance tho... but the BE paladins are coming so im just waiting instead ;)

Troll because even as early as the release in Europe, Undead rogue seemed too popular already. Don't think I even looked at the racials.

Knew my friends from alpha/beta were rolling alliance. Knew I liked paladin class for healing, support and a bit of tanking in 2 man.

I didn't like the looks of dwarves, but the human males were also damn ugly.

So it really came down to liking the human 1-6 area better, and liking the +spirit (it was a long time ago, OK? No mp5 back then) and LOVING the +5 weapon skill.

Trolls are ugly as fuck, and they previously weren't useful for hunters. Taurens were alright, but I liked the way Orc's looked more. Having 5% more HP would be better then a useless pet that does more dmg...

Because Gnome druids were definitely not available. /furious rage

Troll axethrowers in Warcraft 2 were badass, nuff said. Who cares about racials when picking a character you're going to be looking at for 80+ days played?

Dwarves were the more popular classes for priests(clerics) in my EQ1 guild.
Dwarves have desperate prayer.

Stoneform/fear ward were not really a big deal to me, were just icing on the cake.

Night elf warrior , Priest , Druid .....

Because we all know how much NE racials own.................................................................................. ................................................................................

Why wouldn't you roll a gnome if you go warrior? :)

CrazyCarl · 08/01/06, 11:53 AM

My hunter is a troll. He's mad pimp. They also look really cool shooting a bow.

Wong-Fei-Hung · 08/01/06, 11:53 AM

I wish I could change my nelf to a gnome :(

I rolled nelf cause of the glowy eyes :x

Troll (warrior)

The 2h Axe and 2h Sword animations were just too cool to pass up.

After all my time played, my thoughts are female UD for cool flips while tanking, and wotf.

Kalman · 08/01/06, 11:55 AM

Friend who got me to buy the game was alliance, rogue sounded fun, and I was drunk so gnome appealed. I'd probably have been human otherwise.

Stupid drunkenness, costing me 5 skill and 10% rep. :/

troll because they look incredibly awesome. The beserking and Hex of Weakness made them an interesting choice for priest at least.
