New Races
Worgen
Worgen, the new Alliance race, will have their own district in Darnassus. They have a worgen form and a human (cosmetic) form; when in combat the worgen will always shift to the worgen form.
Worgen will have access to all classes except paladin and shaman.
Racials: Darkflight: allows the worgen to temporarily increase their movement speed by 70%, and can be used every three minutes; Aberration: reduced duration from the effects of curses and disease; Flayer: bonus to skinning, as well as the ability to skin faster and not use a skinning knife; Viciousness: 1% bonus to damage
Starting Zone: Lost Isles
Mount: Roadster
Goblins, the new Horde race, will have a city (not confirmed to be a capital)in the revamped zone of Azshara.
Goblins will have access to all classes except paladin and druid.
Racials: rocket belt that allows players to activate one of two rocket abilities every two minutes - enables the player to jump up to 20 yards or shoots rockets at an enemy player within 30 yards; every 30 minutes the goblin can summon a pack hobgoblin, which will act as a personal servant granting bank access. Goblins also gain a bonus to their alchemy skill, and should a player decide to become an alchemist there will be an increased benefit from drinking health and mana potions. Additional passive goblin racials include a permanent 1% increase to attack and casting speed, and because of their knack for mercantile affairs, goblins will always receive the best possible gold discount regardless of reputation.
