"LOS ANGELES--Electronic Entertainment Expo 2006 is underway, and so is Blizzard Entertainment's presence on the show floor. The studio is showing off The Burning Crusade, the upcoming expansion pack to the wildly popular massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft. As the studio revealed previously, the expansion will offer two new playable races; the fanatical blood elves for the Horde faction and the recently revealed Draenei faction for the alliance. The Draenei previously appeared in World of Warcraft as the twisted, hunched monsters in the Swamp of Sorrows area, though according to producer Jeff Kaplan, these monsters were corrupted by the demonic horde known as the Burning Legion (the same demonic influence that turned the noble savages known as the orcs into the savage brutes they had become in the earlier Warcraft games). The creatures are descendants of the race known as the Eredar--to which the pivotal character Archimonde belonged before he, too, was corrupted in Warcraft III. The playable Draenei characters are tall, statuesque humanoids, with hooves for feet; tiny horns on their heads; and pale, shimmering skin. Apparently, the new race will be able to join five different character classes: warriors, hunters, paladins, mages, and priests. "

LOL! they messed their own lore up soooo much for this one. As far as I know this Valen guy was never mentioned before, the Draeni lived in the outlands and didnt come back through the portal. Not to mention the whole conflict it would make with the night elves, there is way too many contradictions to list here >.< At least they didnt stick with the name Eredar. They should have just done what they did with the gnomes and add a brand new race with no previous warcraft history. Or made them Protoss. Just for the heck of it.
oh, yeah Deaddog, nice desktop man. The waves are cool
ok you got me its an indignity I know. I have never played war2, well, I did once but I didnt even get a barracks up before I lost and was all "wow... yeah war3 is way cooler" and stopped but you have to admit there is nothing in their lore related to gnomes, just one or two convenient units. The dwarves built the stuff in war3 O.o

Yeah, I know what you mean, they built 2 things in W2 (the Submarine is the other one). They pretty much came out of the blue.
