Online Game Launches New Race

The makers behind the huge online game called World of Warcraft has announced an evolution in the game with a new ‘race’ of characters, the New York Times reports. With more than 6 million paying subscribers worldwide, the game revolves around the strife between two competing factions, the Alliance and the Horde. Players can join either side of the fantasy conflict; the Alliance includes races like human, dwarves and gnomes, while the Horde includes orcs, trolls and the undead. Now comes a new race:

In the Burning Crusade, much of the action will take place on a planet called Draenor. The Draenei are the remnants of a once-thriving culture there that was mostly destroyed by orcs after the orcs were corrupted by the demons of the Burning Legion — the big bad guys in the game, who oppose both the Alliance and the Horde.
