Blizzard has announced at E3 that the new Alliance race will be the Draenei. There’s a great interview with Jeff Kaplan in the New York Times, detailing all the classes (Warrior, Priest, Paladin, Mage and Hunter) and info on new areas that are going to open up when The Burning Crusade goes live. I like them — they’re big like Tauren, but not ugly as we all expected the new race to be (you know, to counter the hotness of the Blood Elves.) Too bad everyone and their mom will be making a new Draenei character. Everyone not making a Blood Elf, that is…
