So...WoW Tauren. *ponders* Native American much, Blizzard? I mean, seriously, they're not even subtle about it. 'Hey, how about you be Plains Indians, except this time you're the buffalo. :D' Not that it's done badly or I'm complaining or anything like that. I like that race rather much, and I've got my shaman up to lvl 7 already. The thought just occurred to me, because usually most of their 'influences'/ripping-off has been integrated in more inobviously.

Anyway. Not much else--I should spare others the constant geek or woe, but had to at least comment on this.

Oh yeah...one more thing of note: twice I've seen typos in WoW text. Same one both times--it's instead of its. I'm tempted to email them about it, but then I'd be helping them for free, and it's not the beta any more, so heck with it.

Well, I haven't died yet. ^^ Nowait, cancel that, I did that one time last night, didn't I? >_> Um, so yeah. But then again, I haven't banded together in any Tauren groups/guilds, so who knows what'd happen then. There is this race ability called "War Stomp" though, and I'm kinda amused at that. ...excuse me, I need a geek moment.

"I am the lone cow of the apocolypse!!" *STOMP STOMP STOMP*

What I never understood was that the Tauren are Native Americans, but then what the hell are the Orcs? I always thought they were supposed to be the natural/shamanistic whatevers.

And now they have samurai. wtf.

Samurai? o_o I must find out more about this. Because, yeah, I'm geek-dork enough to try to be that, if possible. *dork dork*

Orcs...hrm, maybe Arabic? >_o I was in their capital city in the beta, and it had the sort of sandy-desert thing going on (whereas the trolls have the red rocks-southwestern US desert bit covered). But WoW does seem to be setting up the Tauren as very shaman/in tune with nature--though looks like Trolls (and orcs?) are shaman capable, too. *scratches head* Dunno, still a lot I'm clueless on in this game. But I like hitting things :D
