The series has come a very long way since its 1994 release. The series started as a Real Time Strategy gaming, pitting Orcs against Humans. Over several sequels and a massively developed plot the game has ended up in the form of a MMORPG. This did seem an obvious choice, the game has a solid fan base and there’s plenty of material and back story to develop into such a game. The games races are split into two distinct groups, the Alliance and the Horde. The Alliance represents the traditional side of good including Humans, Elves and Dwarves. Whereas, the Horde represents what we would normally consider as being evil such as Trolls, The Undead and a variety of other beast humanoids.
