Playable Race

Wow.com has just reviled Worgen (along with Goblins) to be a playable race in the next expansion (WoW: Cataclysm). I would add this information myself, but I don't know if this information is vetted yet. Plus, I don't want to screw anything up.

Will not be added unless its been made official. WW:DNP. Sssssssssssssssssssssssss For Pony! ^(T•C) 20:31, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

That article is ridiculous. It only gives two "sources", one of which doesn't even mention races - it's just blatant theorizing. Remember, blogging != journalism.  Howbizr^(t·c) 9:44 PM, 10 Aug 2009 (EDT)

I agree with that statement, and if blogging ever does replace, real, actual journalism, we are all screwed. That article is ridiculous anyways. I want new races in the expansion, but I'm not getting my hopes up, nor do I think the articles should be changed until Blizzard themselves make an announcement.Vulpes Wolf (talk)

The theory totally makes sense. The files, the art, all leads to it. But even if one (like me) loves digging files and etc, we still have to wait 7 days for this information to be confirmed... Who knows if Blizz don't wanted to play with us making false tips. Azahel (talk) 19:27, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Red herrings FTW.--SWM2448 20:46, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I think it's true, all the same. Can't wait to see who's right!!  Howbizr^(t·c) 2:56 PM, 15 Aug 2009 (EDT)

It's true, confirmed at Blizzcon around 12:30 PST. Bwahahaha, Naysayers! Sedurut (talk) 02:11, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Hardly. I always thought it was true, but WW:DNP is part of being an official fansite.  Howbizr^(t·c) 1:12 PM, 28 Aug 2009 (EDT)

Racial Traits

Am I the only person who thinks the Worgens have overpowered racials? 70% Speed increase for 6 seconds is OP when used in conjunction with Sprint, Blink, Aspect of the Cheetah, etc. It'd be fine if it triggered the cooldown on all similar abilities, but I doubt it will. Skinning faster without a knife seems pretty unfair as well, since you could easily steal someone's skinning mob when they started before you. Abberation would cause a LOT of Horde Warlocks to become very angry in PVP. As for two forms, that seems to break their lore, don't you agree? They're supposedly cursed, which should mean that they're stuck as a Worgen forever. But no, they can transform into Humans whenever they please.

Discuss. Navalu (talk) 05:14, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Um, since when does any worgen in the game stay in one form? 85% of them use either appear as human or worgen. Highly doubt the speed increase racial (also, btw a 3min cd) will stack with the other speed increasing abilities. Skinning is already what... 1.5 seconds, so if stealing skins is an issue, don't loot the entire body and wait till they walk off, so they don't need a knife... get a gnomish army knife, then you won't need half the tools in your bags either. And no, don't discuss, you want to complain about the racials, take it the official WoW forums. Sssssssssssssssssssssssss For Pony! ^(T•C) 05:25, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

First off, you have to remember that this is still pre-Alpha. Absolutely nothing is set in stone yet; lots of things can and will change. Hell, just think of how much changed in BC and WotLK between announcement and release. Secondly, they've said that they're going to be updating all of the other racials as well, which should balance it out a bit. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 05:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Female worgen model

This image was added to the article (just removed by me). To be honest it looks like a worgen female mask, placed over a female tauren's head, with an old worgen's body. Frankenstein's creation, as it were. Kirkburn  talk  contr 12:48, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

I'll have to agree with you Kirkburn, cause i have seen a picture like that before, using the same skeleton (or something very close), but a custom head. 1 & 2

Aedror42 (talk) 14:33, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

Forsaken body, human arms, worgen (male) hands and feet, worgen (female) head. The head is disproportional too. --N'Nanz (talk) 14:39, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

Agreeing with Kirk - please leave it out of the article.  Howbizr^(t·c) 3:28 PM, 24 Sep 2009 (EDT)

I felt like it's fake though, but this goblins always looked lame to me

Azahel (talk) 17:30, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

It's fake. The creator likes worgen and has made fake playable-looking worgen in the past. She whipped it up in an hour to confuse people yet again. Rutéa (talk) 22:59, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

The old rumor

Does anyone still have that old rumor, back from 2006, about playable worgen? It was made up before the revamped draenei were introduced and people were wondering what race the Alliance would get. The creator made it only for fun, but it introduced the idea of the humans of Gilneas behind the Greymane Wall becoming infected by the worgen curse and losing their minds. This rumor caught on like wildfire and eventually, it seems to have actually come true. I'd like to see how this old rumor compares to what we know of them now.
