Alliance WoW Race Revealed?
Kotaku is reporting that, according to some early scans, the new World of Warcraft Alliance race will be the Draenei. From the Wikipedia entry: "The Draenei are one of the three primary races native to Draenor (the others being the Orcs and the Ogres). They once populated the planet heavily, but were slaughtered by the Orcs shortly after their corruption by the Warlock Gul'dan. A small number of Draenei survived, using a recessive cloaking ability. Severely mutated in the destruction of Draenor, they were thought to be extinct, but Illidan and his forces discovered and liberated one of the last surviving Draenei villages among the wastes of what is now known as Outland." Still not confirmed, take with a grain of salt.
Indeed, the Draenei were rumoured to be the new Alliance race even before the Blood Elves were confirmed for the Horde. Let me know when the Pandareans become a playable race, then maybe I'll reactivate my account.
Yeah, and they could be the mortal enemies of telekinetic pirates that sail flying ships that all have Voltron heads on their bows! And their skull and crossbones flag could incorporate the skull of Jack Thomson, so you know they're really evil!
The abilities include a bonus to fishing skill, swimming speed, and when you get down to 10% health, 1-4 murlocs of your level magically appear to help you out. Oh, yeah, and a PC aggro-inducing shout.

But they play the air guitar - they HAVE to be evil!
Since I can't tell them apart, I treat all ACs as the same person.
I'm amazed at how hard it is for me to be so indiscrimenently evil to 1's and 0's as to end their meagre electronic existances. That's whats the evil bit is for.
