There's 8 playable races currently:
Alliance: Gnome, Dwarf, Human, Night Elf
Horde: Undead, Orc, Troll, Tauren (looks like a minotaur)
If they went with LOTR scale, you could do the following:
2" - Gnome, Dwarf
2.5" - Human, Night Elf, Undead, Orc, Troll
3" - Tauren
The classes are: warrior, paladin, hunter, thief, priest, mage, warlock, shaman, druid. There's all kinds of armor in the game, all which look different (especially at higher levels). Hunters and warlocks always have pets at their side (bears, wolves, etc. for hunters; demons for warlocks).
And then there's the mounts, which vary by race. For example, humans generally ride horses and gnomes ride mechanical ostriches (don't ask).
Yeah, I play WoW.
i too are a WoW player
i usually play on illegal servers
but i like the idea of WoW minimates
but they should have the NEW races too
the dranei and the bloodelfs with a 2.5 scale for dranei and a normal 2 scale for bloodelfs
they are good ideas for customs too
