Ha I beat you again.

Blizzard is proud to officially announce the second new race of the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion set, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade - the mysterious wisps! At the Battle of Mount Hyjal, the Burning Legion gave the world a taste of its true, terrible power. Archimonde the Defiler himself led the vanguard, crushing all who stood in his way, determined to reach the World Tree at the mountain's peak. In the end, only one power was strong enough to destroy the insidious Archimonde: the Wisps.

Check out the new Alliance race on the Burning Crusade Website, and learn more about the wisps' historical background and their awe-inspiring racial ability: Detonate!

Tri I wasn't competing against you to get new before you. And I probably would've had it first but I was too busy trying to figure out the difference in taste between coke and pepsi.

saps =P

Im putting my money that the wisps are an April Fool's joke, how will they look when they wear armor or weapons?

Let me talk about it like it would be real:
Perma Death when you die? That is like Diablo 2's Hardcore system, but the only problem is the wisps don't look cool.

Detonate doesn't even do damage, and it takes 50 mana away from you and dispells your buffs (or something like that) <--- lawlz

The wisps themselves can't wear armor 0_0

We know it is an April Fools joke (Hopefully), but when I first read I thought they were serious, and instantly thought that I would not play that class at all, and felt the alliance had gotten jipped. They got me good... Until I went to the WoW forums ;-P

Fishy I think they said it was going to be an original race, one not from any of the previous games. Hopefully by original they don't mean re-colored.

Well, if you look on the screenshot where he detonated, first off, it has Keanu saying "Woah." and also, instead of the regular "Revive Character" or whatever it is supposed to say, it says "Reroll Character."

Obviously a joke :P
