What You Should Know About Choosing Your World of Warcraft Character

Once you have a registered account with your server and have signed into your account. It will take you to where you can create your very first WoW character. The expansion that you have or have upgraded to will determine which characters you can choose from. If you have the latest released Mists of Pandaria then you can choose any race that is offered through WoW.

World of Warcraft has introduced their newest expansion Mists of Pandaria. This expansion features new level caps to level 90 along with a new race, the Pandaren, and a new class, the monk. There are other benefits that you will learn throughout game play that have added a new twist to this decade old game.

Whether you play on retail or you play on a private server, the fun of WoW is never ending. Creating a new character is fun and interesting because you will be playing that character throughout the game and are able to customize it on a minimal level to your liking.

When choosing your character, the first choice that you will have to make is which side you wish to play on the Alliance or the Horde. This decision will determine where you start in the game and which land mass your main or capital city is on. Each race has a different starting zone to level from 1-10, sometimes the level will be 13 or 17 before you can leave the starting area (Worgen and Goblin).

Fraction Races

Alliance Races:

• Human
• Dwarf
• Night Elf
• Gnome
• Draenei
• Worgen

Horde Races:

• Orc
• Undead
• Tauren
• Troll
• Blood Elf
• Goblin

Universal Race:

• Pandaren

The universal race will allow you to play this character up until about level 13. Once you have followed the quest line through the starting area it will then prompt you to choose a side, whether Alliance or Horde.

Each race has their own special ability in the game. They can be either a Tank, Damage, or Healer. Some races have the option to do either of the three while others might only give the option of two. When choosing your character it is best to know what you would like to do or roll with such as a healer to help heal people or a tank to help keep the enemies at bay while the rest of the group demolishes them.

After you have read the info on each of the characters you can make a sound choice on who to start your new adventure as. Possibly a Human or maybe a more exotic race such as the Pandaren.
