Your World of Warcraft characters can become one of these nine different classes, and this will in essence be their identity, i.e. as in an Undead Mage. “Undead” here being the race, and “Mage” being the class. To choose your World of Warcraft characters (because with one account you can create up to a maximum of 50 characters which can be spread across the different servers), you will need to go through a series of steps. The first step is choosing your faction. You need to decide first of all whether you’re going to be part of the honorable Alliance, or whether you want to be a part of the mighty Horde. You will then need to go on to step number two, where you need to decide which race your World of Warcraft characters are going to take.

Once you choose what race (or races) your World of Warcraft characters are going to be, you will then need to choose a Class for them. Are they going to be Human, Orc, Dwarf, Troll, or one of the other eight playable races? (You get an extra two races if you have the Burning Crusade expansion pack to make it a total of ten playable races.)You will then have the pleasure of choosing for your World of Warcraft characters professions so they can earn gold, silver, and copper to finance their adventures through the lands of Warcraft. When you finish this step you will then be ready to take your place in the World of Warcraft.
