World of Warcraft Details Announced

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the undead-and-trolls-and-orcs-oh-my dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The last of the races and classes for World of Warcraft have been released. Check WorldofWar.Net for a good summary of the details." They've added new classes for rogue, priest, and paladin, as well as hero classes for high-level players. There's a few new races as well, such as trolls and gnomes.

    The Union of Standard Generic Player Classes scored another victory today when it was announced that World of Warcraft would allow rouges, priests, and paladins.
    "This is a great win for us", announced Ulog Beg, President of USGPC. "Could you imagine an RPG without people like fighters, wizards, or thieves? It would be chaos!"
    This win represents the largest gain for the union since Morrowind in 2002. Also involved in talks with Blizzard are the Union of Standard Weak Creatures (representing large rats and skeletons) and the Union of 'Ye Ol English' which hopes to make everyone use words like "sire" and "liege". It is unknown whether the Union of Undead has approached Blizzard yet but many industry insiders agree that they will.

    Yes, yes, I am just being sarcastic. I'm sure the game will rock. Although I didn't enjoy Warcraft 3 as much as I had hoped I think Blizzard has a great track record so far.

      My Lord, mayhap thou wast beinge japesome, but verily thou dost have a goode point.

      Forfend that I shoulde suggest that originality might be a goode thinge for it's own sake, for 'pon my troth I am a believer of the creed 'If broken itte be not, then attempt ye not to fixe itte'.

      However, I cannot believe that alle fantasye RPGs neede to bee as constrayned in thier imaginnings as they do in troth appear to be.

      Whatte parte of 'fatasye' doo thse brayne-addled simpletons notte understande?

    " The factions in World of Warcraft are set. There is no changing fractions, there is no mixed groups. " If anything has bothered me about previous Blizzard releases, it's been those unpredictable fractions. At last, we can be free of Quarterlings and Third-Orcs!
