Looks pretty fake to me, but I could be wrong.
Joined 2004 - I can't believe I've been a MMORPG.com member for 20 years! Get off my lawn!
I can't believe thats real. The blood elves are a race that were called the High Elves. They were total allies of the Humans and Dwarfs and hate the horde. They can't be part of it!
And another thing! That panda race (i forgot the name) were neutral with the alliance and horde. They wouldn't be part of the alliance. There is a big mess here....I don't understand how the Bloodelves could ever allie with those they hate the most, and fight against their own allies. Those screenshots contradict the lore entirely!
If they aren't fake, god help WoW....cause this add-on will ruin Warcrafts fan base, and all Warcraft fans will leave. The amazing lore of warcraft will be ruined.
If this is true i might even come back to WoW just see how those 2 races are but in the end ill probably stop for the same reason as the first time heh
hmmm
I have to agree with Mikey
I always assume the Blood Elves were allied with the Humans. Who knows...we'll find out soon

"this site needs a graveyard forum for us to mourn."
The reason I cite them as fake is because just looking at the picture, for instance the blood elves, they just don't look like they are in-game or they are Blizzard's work. But like I said, I could be wrong.
They seem like a total fake to me.
First off, Blood Elves and Pandaren are neutral races. The pandaren are so uncummon, I doubt they are ever going to be a playable race. Following this, they could join any side its better for them
Kael says that when he teams up with Illidan. He would led his ppl to wichever side is better to make revenge against the scourge. Now, the forsaken (the playable undead from WoW) are the scourge greatest haters... they didnt teamed with Illidan but its very possible to see the Blood Elves in the horde. Horde needs a stylish character looks so it wont be all uglies thus attracting more players to it...
The pandaren aren't fighting this war. They don't give a crap about it.
On the character selection screen (alliance), you don't see a pandaren chosen. Why?
Because maybe theres no actual model of one in WoW? So how could the guy put it there?*
On the horde selection, the guy chooses a Blood Elf.
We know the background represents the homeland of the race, so why is the Blood Elves using Draenor as their background? Also, why they look SO different from the other models? I'm almost sure the guy used a NPC or something similar...*
The buildings looks great tho.
I got nothing to say about those.
Different from all other races, the pandaren and blood elves icon on selection screen are present in War3. All others are original for WoW.
* = As I didn't played WoW to 100%, I'm not sure if theres a pandaren model in the game (although I've never seen one) or even a blood elf that looks like that (he could've edited something, because it REALLY does look like an NPC, mainly the face)
EDIT
Actually, I've just checked that on last screenshot (the blood elf in selection screen) the icon for pandaren isnt present in war3. BUT in the previous shot IT IS. Its 2 different icons.... smells fishy eh
EDIT2
The last screenshot comes from putfile, the ones that shows the weird looking cities and the blood elf female come from WoW Guru. Maybe the first 3 screens are actually real, the selection screens one I'm almost sure its a fake..
No way it's real. If blizz ever put in Pandaerans (sp?) about 80% of the WoW population would be walkin' around pandas. Since a lot of WoW players are kiddies, the game would be ruined with an overly high panda population.
Looks real, but i have no idea if it really is or not.
The Blood Elf looks cool non-the-less
Okay guys the truth is out.
One of my old guildies in WoW (which I still keep in touch with just dont play WoW with anymore) works for blizzard.
And since there is no way of him getting caught.
Pandas and Bloodelves are in.
The lore is all figured out.. it all makes sense
THe pandarians dont like NE, but they are going to put up with them.
Bloodelves need power, they need to kill demons.. etc
But yea, these are real, enjoy its gona be good, the expansion has sooooo much to it.
after 6 or so years, I had to change it a little...
Finally! a horde race that looks like a human/night elf!
i hate playing all hunched over characters like orc, troll, undead lol it looks nasty.
looking forward to playing Blood elf!
But come on! Pandas oh my god talk about wrecking the game.
My build: Sapphire Radeon HD 4850, Asus P5GC-MX/1333 Motherboard, 4gb G.SKILL DDR2 667MHz RAM, Core 2 Duo e7200 CPU, 250gb Western Digital SATA Harddrive, Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit.
Well, look at it this way-- the Horde side didn't have any pretty humanoids, and the Alliance side didn't have a fat animal race. Now everyone gets something, and everyone can be happy.
The pandas would almost be enough to make me go Alliance, but my prediction is a large influx of people to the Horde side since they'll have an elf option there too. Maybe it will even things out on servers where the Horde is greatly outnumbered.
...
This is where I draw the line: __________________.
okay, the blood elves ARENT high elves. the blood elves were "traitors" (for lack of a better word) to the rest of the elves. The high elves DID hate the Horde but the blood elves had nothing to do with either the Night or High elves other than the fact that they came from the same blood line. The Blood elves might have joined the Horde because the Night Elves are the only elves that didnt loose their magical abilities (this caused some... feuds) so i might not be right but i can see why the blood elves are horde.
The pandaren *spelling?* are a neutral race, mainly mercenaries. i can see them going horde or alliance.
I think these are fake, but thats just my two cents
Ante
sorry, i didnt see munkis post
? you only seen 1 blood elf in the game? I saw one in Ratchet, Theramore Keep, S something mountains, and I killed a few in Azshara. Blood elves do alot more dealings with the Horde then they do with the alliance. Thats why Horde members have asked them to be a playable race since beta because there used to be a 3 to 1 ratio of alliance to horde on every single server but 1. After battlegrounds was introduced the ratio has been lowered.
BTW the bottom screenshot is definetly fake, but the others probably arent since they would be too difficult to fake. There is an entire environment built.
WOW thats actualyl REALLY neat. might get me back into wow. I had a 60 night elf hunter, but this might make me want to create a horde charater. darn wish i could've made a Blood elf horde char at the start....

I'm not trying to be mean or rude but, I'll believe you when you show us proof. It's far too easy for anybody to say that they have a girlfriend/boyfriend/relative/friend/buttbuddy who works for Blizzard, and that they said so and so.
Secondly, I'm almost sure that it's a fake. The areas they show were in as development areas in WoW back in beta, and when it was leaked, people could access areas they werent supposed to go to. There are myriad videos out there now of people walking around areas that currently do not exist on WoW, because they either found ways to get to them (such as dying and respawning on the other side of the gate to Mount Hyjal) or they used a private server and GM teleport commands.
As for Blood Elves, if you get the WoW model viewer (shareware and not illegal. It just peeks into the files your client already has) you can see the High Elves models that are in.
The biggest indication that this is a fake though, is go back to the screenshots. Read the race description of the Blood Elves. Notice the typos? I doubt Blizzard would let such blatant typos go by unpassed. Last I checked, it was brutal, not brtutal.
also notice the picture icons for the races are all catoony byt the blood elve and panda which look like htey are ripped from wc3 o-o or something.
Im not going to try to convice you lol. Honestly I dont care.
Im telling people what I know in hopes they enjoy the info.
Nuff said lol.
But as for Typos common, its not a public build, they can typo all they want =p
after 6 or so years, I had to change it a little...
lol
guess they're real
Blizzard removed them.

So is that it? More opportunities for Alts? What about the freaken endgame/lack thereof.
