Blizzard to Unveil New WoW Race at E3
Details on expansion and new 1.11 patch shown in trailer on the show floor.
By John 'Warrior' Keefer | May 8, 2006
After much speculation, Blizzard will unveil the new Alliance race in its World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade video to be shown for the first time at E3, which begins on Wednesday.
The video, which runs about two minutes, shows off a huge race about the size of Taurens. They have bluish skin (although as with the other races, this could be customizable) and small mindflayer-like tentacles hanging from their chin. They also have a large tail (maybe scaled) and what look like hooves. Having heard nothing official from Blizzard, the race appears to be the Draenei as they appear in their otherworldly realm of Outland. The Draenei (or Lost Ones) that appear in the current game in the Blasted Lands and Swamp of Sorrows are apparently corrupted or fallen versions of the race.
Draenei Exile as it looks now in the Swamp of Sorrows. The new race has some vague similarities. We will know officially on Wednesday.
The video shows what looks like a warrior with a sword and shield running through various new areas, which look like they could be areas of Outland. It did not show the class using any spells, so it isn't clear what classes the new race might have.
In talking about the two races, the video shows a representative of the Draenei being introduced in a huge meeting between the kings of the Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes and Night Elves. It also shows the same for the Blood Elves: They are introduced to a war council of the Orcs, Trolls, Taurens and Undead.
The video also showed off the Blood Elves in their home area, which was unveiled at BlizzCon late last year. There are also scenes of the race running through the new areas as well.
Another video on display, also about two minutes long, showed scenes from the new 1.11 patch, which will open up the new Shadow of the Necropolis instance. The video shows the archmage Kel'thuzad making his way into the frozen wastes of Northrend. He comes upon the undead region of crypt walkers and abominations, talking about the horrors, but something forces him to move on. You see him walking very deliberately through massive undead horsemen, abominations and what appear to be bosses. He is finally confronted by cold wraiths, where he gives in to the dark powers of the lich king Ner'zhul. He is brought to his knees, sobbing in his hands.
Kel'thuzad with the cold wraiths before being taken to the lich king Ner'zhul.
What follows are some pretty intense battle scenes between Taurens, Undead and these new creatures. There is one boss that looks like an abomination with greenish blood floating through metallic vials. It also shows some pretty impressive floating Scourge ziggarauts, one even floating outside Ironforge.
There isn't much more in the video to give a hint as to what else may be in the instances or if Prince Arthas' relationship with Kel'Thuzad will be explored in some form, but what is here should give WoW players plenty to speculate about until the patch is released.
Stay tuned during the show as we unveil more information as we get it. We will hopefully be able to post the videos when they become available, perhaps as early as Wednesday.

mja, only time will tell... morge zullen we het weten wa het nieuwe ras is.
Alhoewel dat de Draenei wel al eerder genoemd waren als nieuw ras en nu ook door de auteur, zou'k het redelijk dom vinden tbh
Nu krijgt alliance dus ook een lelijk volk erbij

Demons in de nazistische Alliance lijkt me toch wel heel straf -_-
Zal wel gewoon Dranei-achtige dingen zijn (aangezien Blizzard al gezegd heeft dat het nieuws ras al aanwezig is in WoW, en daar heb ik nooit een Eredar gezien).. KWestie van toch niet te origineel te zijn (luie, luie Blizzard)no votes

mja, ma die demons zouden wel cooler zijn dan de draenei.
en ze kunne daar wel een verhaal rond breien. Dat de alliantie er een demon ras bij neemt om zo beter weerstand te kunnen bieden aan de horde.Nasiel lvl 85 Tauren druid

Dus.. Een demon ras da zijn eigen wereld naar de reet geholpen heeft, dat tot twee maal toe Azeroth heeft willen vernietigen om aan hun eigen krachten toe te voegen, een ras dat een 100-tal meter hoog is, een ras dat bestaat uit pure evil, een ras dat enkel demonical magie gebruikt (warlock), etc.. Gaat een Alliance joinen van mensen die geen enkele "niet menselijke" levensvorm als gelijke aanvaardt om zo de Horde aan te kunnen?
Waarom joinen ze dan ni direct de Burning Legion als ze toch verder willen -_-
Als het een Demon ras is, dan bewijst het nog maar eens dat Blizzard zijn eigen Lore zo zwaar onder de deur geschoven heeft wegens gebrek aan inspiratie..no votes

wrom ni? er is ruzie ontstaan tussen de horde troepen en daarom dat de demonen zich samen met de alliantie gevoegd hebben. En dan zouden ze ook shamans kunnen invoeren vo alliance

burning legion = demonisch leger
