World of Warcraft’s 11.5 million active Wow accounts prove how popular this MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) is. This immersive experience allows people to get away from life’s problems and live their lives online in this huge fantasy world. With so many people playing, you’ll notice that most of the players are either humans or elves. What about the other races? Let me show you three races that should also be played on your WoW accounts:
3) The Gnomes hiding in Ironforge
As of this article, the Warcraft Census website states that 466,508 or 6% of total WoW accounts play this race. They are said to be one of the peculiar races of World of Warcraft. The gnomes are so obsessed with inventing new technology and engineering feats that one has to wonder how they survived and multiplied to sustain their career. Maybe they invented a cloning machine? In the Second War, the gnomes built the war machines that the Alliance used in their fight against the Horde. They used to live in this place called Gnomeregan, built in the heart of Ironforge Mountain. The invaders destroyed the place and killed many of the people who lived there. Most of the survivors traveled to Khaz Modan and shared living space with the Dwarves in Ironforge, while others moved to Kalimdor with dwarven friends. Wow Accounts playing this run can use their lack of height to their advantage, as they could sneak up on enemies that are less alert. Gnomes start out with high Intellect, giving them more mana to cast spells.
2) The Dwarves who live in Dun Morogh
According to the Warcraft Census, 438,330 or 5% of total WoW accounts play this race. Dwarves have been mining for treasure since the beginning of time. When the Horde invaded the land of Azeroth during the Second War, the dwarves offered to join the Alliance and helped them win many battles with their passion for combat and exploration. King Magni Bronzebeard ordered a shift from mining to archeology due to the discovery of ruins that gave clues to his ancestry. Wow Accounts that choose to play this run can use Stoneform (Makes the character immune to Bleed, Disease, and Poison effects, plus 10% armor up for 8 seconds. This effect can be used again after 3 minutes ), increased accuracy with ranged weapons and maces, +10 frost resistance, and the ability to see treasure chests on your minimaps.
1) Stranglethorn Vale’s Darkspear trolls
The Warcraft census indicates that 369,498 or 4% of total WoW accounts play this race. Long before the Third War and the Burning Legion began to appear, trolls ruled much of Kalimdor. There were two empires, the Amani of the middle forests and the Gurubashi of the southeastern jungles. Tribal rivalries forced the Darkspear tribe to leave their homeland. A sea witch controlled a group of murlocs to kidnap Sen’jin of the Darkspear tribe, who in turn was rescued by orcs led by Thrall. The tribe swore allegiance to the Horde in gratitude. Wow Accounts that play as this race can become Berzerk (an effect that lasts 10 seconds. Can be used again after 3 minutes. Speed increases by 10-30% at the expense of health), they can recover lost health , and have bonus damage from thrown weapons and bows.
These races are overlooked by most of the active WoW account community. I don’t blame them though, these breeds have height flaws, weight issues, or personality issues, as well as not being pretty to look at. However, the game designers blessed these races with abilities, so give them a home in your WoW accounts today!
