Blizzard's Pearce Introduces New Race

Fantasy games provide players an escape from the real world. Oftentimes, people see themselves in the characteristics of these made up magical creatures; a lot go for characters who they actually want to become. Such are the considerations Blizzard had while creating the new races of The Burning Crusade.

No less than Vice President for Product Development Frank Pearce himself gave the in-depth previews of these new races. According to him, "The aesthetic look of our new characters was certainly a consideration and it wasn't just a consideration for female players. In Asia, we've found that players of both genders are more attracted to the Alliance characters, which they find more visually pleasing."


Burning CrusadeOf all the new added races, the Blood Elves might be the most beautiful and compelling as they were once part of the High Elves. With an insane lust for magic and self-preservation, the Blood Elves are vain, haughty and selfish creatures. Their red and gold hues remind us of Christmas and tell of their cheery and grandiose character.

Next is the blue-skinned, cloven-hoofed, and semi demonic race of the Dareen. They are actually a jewel-crafting alien race that crash-landed on Kalimdor. However, Draenei's shaman class holds access to the Alliance while the paladin is able to access the Horde. With these new development, gamers feel that this could be the end for variety as these used to be a notable difference between the races.

Other noteworthy additions to The Burning Crusade include
five new spells/skills per class, two new tiers for the talent trees, teleporters that link cities together, and outdoor arenas for gladiatorial style combats. Unfortunately though, Pearce could still not commit on the date of release. His only quip was, "This year."
