And they are going just fine, according to Bill. Here's a bit: GS: Which of the game's four races has been the most popular among beta testers? Which has been the least popular? If there's been a noticeable discrepancy, how are you planning to address it? BR: Obviously, the Undead and Night Elves started out as the heavy favorites since they represented totally new ideas in the Warcraft universe. As the test has continued, we have seen swings in popularity, usually based on whatever unbalance in the game is easiest to exploit. As we work through these balance issues, our goal is to make every race have its unique character and style of play while removing as many radical discrepancies in power as possible. While the flavor of each race should be felt throughout it's game play (the Orcs being very powerful on the ground, for example) we do not want to create situations where the "correct" strategy is to always play the same units from the race.
