Yea..i didn't mean to sound like a smart ass.. its just the whole idea of Fantasy is... .whatever you can imagine.. it can come alive in a book..film or game. WOW has never been a Tolkenesk Fantasy.. the have added races and themes of their own creation ( Space Goats anyone? ) For me its all about how it "feels" when you play it.. and I have enjoyed most the stuff they come up with. I'm more excited about the Monk class than the new race.. but I'm fine with the race as well. I think they will be a lot of fun to play.
