4. Character creation WoW: Warlords of Draenor Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Your first step in the game will be creating a character. You will use him/her for hundreds of hours, so it's better to do it well so you won't need to create another one because of bad decisions.

Race

First you must select your characters race. There are 13 available in the game. All of them are divided into two groups that represents different sides - the Alliance and the Horde. What is worth mentioning, those alliances cannot contact each other. So, if you play as part of the Horde, you won't be able to play with friends that have chosen the Alliance. Every group has different locations to explore at the beginning of the game, completely different missions and cities. So it's a good idea to create at least two characters from different groups to better know the game and have more fun from it.

Furthermore, every race has different starting location, available only for that race and with unique quests. Some of the later tasks differ between races as well. However, the race choice isn't too important. You should select in based on which do you like most visually.
