Blood Elf and Draenei Classes Revealed
While there have been unofficial announcements on the classes that would be available to each of these new races, it's only today that we've gotten official word on what each race will be able to play. So, with the release of the Burning Crusade, new Draenei players will be able to choose from warrior, paladin, hunter, priest, shaman, and mage options, while new Blood Elves will be able to pick from paladin, hunter, rogue, priest, mage, and warlock. The biggest surprise here is that Blood Elves won't be able to be warriors - a surprise since the preliminary information on the subject suggested that they would. CM Eyonix tells us that they simply wanted an equal number of classes available to the Draenei and the Blood Elves, so one class had to be cut - and the class that made the most sense was warrior.
Burning Crusade Site Updated
The official Burning Crusade site has been updated with new concept art, new screenshots (primarily of the Draenei), and interesting lore information for both races. There's also a new gameplay trailer, so those of us who stayed home can see what everyone at E3 is seeing. (Well, almost.) There's a lot of other information out there, but Blizzard's site is still the official information, and it's the only place to find detailed lore. [Image above is official concept art]
