Horde or Ally?

[theckhd]

Horde. I don't play a fantasy game so that I can play myself. I play it so that I can be you know, in a fantasy setting. How else can I get away from being myself than by playing an anorexic mana addicted Female Elf, or a Lumbering Troll who has defied the grave to freeze your very soul, or any other horde alt that I have?

Humans in wow are dumb.

Barring the "not all of us play a fantasy game to roleplay" argument, there's another objection to be made here. Roleplaying involves a lot more subtlety than simply "I'm a human, therefore if I roll human I must play myself."

I mean, I know it's hard to believe, but I'm not a 6'7" blonde-haired badass with rippling biceps, rock-hard abs, a chiseled jawline, and a glare that oozes determination. But Theck is just such a badass.

[blakk]

Precisely this. And as for escapism, I'd rather play a race I find aesthetically pleasing (human) for my getting away from reality"

It's true I have met him irl.

Must be true then.

Oh wait, Invis is female.

/facepalm.

Keep the lies simple monkey and catlord.

For the Horde!

Not that I've anything specific against the alliance. I just think they're kinda boring...

Never met you before obviously. Some of the folks I have met IRL though could use this same arguement for Ally.....because they more closely resemble in-game troll models than in-game human models.

[Shoju]

Yeah. I don't want to be a human. Elves are even a little too close for my tastes, but sadly, I can't be a forsaken or troll paladin.

Not yet anyway >.>

I think the choice of race also comes down to the little things that you can't stand during your in-game time. For example, I'm so sick of a raptor mount on my troll that if I don't get another mount soon, I may race-change just to get off that pogo-stick of a mount. And I race-changed my space-goat hunter to dwarf because I was sick of getting stuck in doorways.

My shaman spacegoat took a boat ride to Darnassus at lvl 1. Battle kitteh is better for goat. Low profile to fit under all those doors.

They look best on a goat though.

I have a spacegoat hunter as well and yes, this sucks.
