At the game's initial announcement, Blizzard revealed three of World of Warcraft's playable races--the humans, orcs, and taurens. The transition from real-time strategy to online role-playing game is sure to play up some characteristics of races more than others. Now we know the game's fourth race: the dwarves. These warriors are excellent craftsmen, and they're considered to be the hardiest of all races. They're particularly well suited to venturing into the dark depths of Azeroth.
Three character classes are also a part of the E3 demo: warriors, mages, and shamans. These are the first of the game's classes to be made public. The game's character development takes classes as a starting point, and players can customize characters beyond this through a branching skill system.
