If you're new to the game, you're faced with a lot of choices. The most important of these choices is without a doubt what [[class]] you want to be. Then, along with choosing a [[faction]], you must choose a [[race]].

One thing you should know before starting this process is that, unlike a class, your race and faction are not set in stone. As of September 2 2009 in the US and September 17 2009 in the EU, players may now choose to change their Faction for a fee of $30.00 in the Account Management Page. Also, as of October 27th, 2009 for US and EU, players may now also change races for a fee of $25.00 in the Account Management Page. See the [[Faction Change service]] and the [[Race Change service]] pages for more in-depth information on the two services.

==What is a race?==
 +
===Phase One===
  +
''Onyxia''
−
Well, in World of Warcaft, there are two factions: the [[Alliance]] and the [[Horde]]. Each faction currently has 5 race options to them.
  
  +
*Initially Onyxia is your only opponent in phase one. The phase will end when she dies. She has 6.6M/24M HP on 10/25. If you do not attack her her lightning charge will build up to dangerous levels.
  +
*{{abilities|Electric Discharge|When the lightning orbs on Onyxia's sides are glowing inflicts 19500 to 20500 Nature damage per second to enemies on Onyxia's sides. Damage increased by Onyxia's lightning charge level.|id=94107|image=ability criticalstrike|}}
  +
*{{abilities|Shadowflame Breath|Inflicts 25,000 Shadowflame damage to enemies in a cone in front of the caster every 0.5 seconds for 1.5 seconds. Also ressurects Animated Bone Warriors in the area of effect.|id=94125|image=ability creature cursed 03|}}
  +
*{{abilities|Cleave|Inflicts 110% of normal melee damage to an enemy and its nearest allies.|id=86745|image=ability warrior cleave|}}
  +
*{{abilities|Tail Lash|A sweeping tail strike hits all enemies behind the caster, inflicting 15750 to 20250 damage and stunning them for 2 sec.|id=94128|image=inv misc bone 03|}}
   
  +
''Nefarian''
−
The races for the Alliance are the [[dwarf (playable)|dwarves]], [[gnome (playable)|gnomes]], [[human (playable)|humans]], [[night elf (playable)|night elves]], and the [[draenei (playable)|draenei]]. When Cataclysm goes live, the [[Worgen (playable)|worgen]] will also be playable for the Alliance.
  
  +
*Nefarian lands 30 seconds into the phase.
  +
*{{abilities|Hail of Bones|Nefarian will cast this six times in phase one before landing, each time spawning an Animated Bone Warrior and doing 23987 to 26512 Shadow damage to nearby enemies.|id=94121|image=ability warlock eradication|}}
  +
*{{abilities|Cleave|Inflicts 110% of normal melee damage to an enemy and its nearest allies.|id=86745|image=ability warrior cleave|}}
  +
*{{abilities|Shadowflame Breath|Inflicts 25,000 Shadowflame damage to enemies in a cone in front of the caster every 0.5 seconds for 1.5 seconds. Also ressurects Animated Bone Warriors in the area of effect.|id=94125|image=ability creature cursed 03|}}
  +
*{{abilities|Tail Lash|A sweeping tail strike hits all enemies behind the caster, inflicting 15750 to 20250 damage and stunning them for 2 sec.|id=94128|image=inv misc bone 03|}}
   
  +
''Animated Bone Warrior''
−
The races for the Horde are the [[orc (playable)|orcs]], [[tauren (playable)|tauren]], [[troll (playable)|trolls]], [[undead (playable)|undead]], and the [[blood elf (playable)|blood elves]]. When Cataclysm goes live, the [[goblin (playable)|goblins]] will also be playable for the Horde. Click on an individual link for in-depth information on each specific race.
  
  +
*These NPCs have an energy bar that slowly depletes over time. It will be reset to full if they are touched by shadowflame effects. They will 'lie down' if they run out of energy (they have far too much HP to be killed). Further, they increase steadily in damage while melee-ing and should be kited. They can also be feared and CC'd by effects such as shackle undead.
  +
*{{abilities|Animate Bones|Shadowflame energy animates these bones, taking 2 energy per second.|id=78122|image=spell fire windsofwoe|}}
   
−
==Choosing a race==
  
   
  +
===Phase Two===
−
Each of these races has unique [[racials|racial traits]] and certain playable classes available to them. These racial traits and class options help them to accomplish their goals in the world. Racial traits, known as racials, can be either passive or active.
  
  +
* When Onyxia is slain Nefarian will lift off and fill the arena with Lava. You must jump onto the few raised pillars where a Chromatic Prototype will be standing. Phase three begins when the Chromatic Prototypes are slain. The Animated Bone Warriors do not take part in this phase.
   
  +
''Lava''
−
Characters can only talk, group, and create guilds with players from their own faction. Certain zones and cities in the world are also friendly to one faction while hostile to the other. Additionally, certain quests can only be completed by members of one faction and not the other.
  
  +
*{{abilities|Magma|Swimming in Magma deals 5,000 fire damage per second. Increases damage taken from Magma by 2000. Stacks.|id=94075|image=spell shaman lavaflow|}}
   
  +
''Nefarian''
−
The tables below outline which player class is available to a race (denoted by X).
  
  +
*{{abilities|Shadowflame Barrage|Spammed on the raid the whole of phase 2. Inflicts 22500 to 27500 Shadowflame damage to an enemy.|id=94121|image=ability warlock shadowflame|}}
   
  +
''Chromatic Prototype''
−

  +

==Starting Areas==
  
  +
*These NPCs have an energy bar that slowly depletes over time. It will be reset to full if they are touched by shadowflame effects. They will 'lie down' if they run out of energy (they have far too much HP to be killed). Further, they increase steadily in damage while melee-ing and should be kited. They can also be feared and CC'd by effects such as shackle undead.
−
The [[zone]] you begin in depends on your race (unless you are a [[death knight]]). The Blood Elf and Draenei starting areas ([[Eversong Woods]] and [[Azuremyst Isle]], which were added in, and can only be accessed with, the [[Burning Crusade]] expansion), are generally agreed to provide a smoother, more enjoyable leveling experience with better-designed rewards. However, any race can level in any starting zone of the same faction, you'll just have to hoof it over there. You'll probably want to reach level 5 where you start and then travel to the new zone.

  +
*{{text|yell|I thank you for coming, but you really all must DIE now.}}
   
  +
;Phase 1
−
As mentioned above, different races have different [[racials]]. Lets pretend here for a moment; lets pretend that racials did not exist. Then, what would be the difference between races? Well, the answer is this:
  
  +
*{{text|yell|See how the shadowflame animates the bones? They fight at my command!}}
   
  +
;Raid DPSes Nefarian
−
#Different looks
  
  +
*{{text|yell|COWARDS! Face the Broodmother or suffer dire consequences!}}
−
#Different starting locations
  
   
  +
;Phase 2
−
It is recommended that you choose a race based on what looks best to you. However, there are cases where having the right racials can be a life saver. A short explanation of all the racial traits follows.
  
  +
*{{text|yell|Curse you mortals! Such callous disregard for one's possessions must be met with extreme force. I hope you can swim... in molten lava!}}
   
  +

  • These NPCs have an energy bar that slowly depletes over time. It will be reset to full if they are touched by shadowflame effects. They will 'lie down' if they run out of energy (they have far too much HP to be killed). Further, they increase steadily in damage while melee-ing and should be kited. They can also be feared and CC'd by effects such as shackle undead.
