So as some of you might know, if you've been around for a while, or ever glanced over at the Race Guides section, I've made a couple guides that I'm personally rather proud of. The crown jewel of them would probably be my Tauren guide, Since the Mists of Dawn, clocking in at over 14,300 words. Well over 80,000 characters. I worked on a Blood Elf guide for quite some time, and managed to create an incredibly in-depth timeline for them. I haven't gotten around to finishing that one quite yet... That being said, I'm just wonder, if I were to make another guide similar in length to StMoD, what race should it be? Or alternatively, what class if you'd rather I do one for a particularly hard class to play.
If not human, I'd say go for gnomes. Perhaps it will convince people to stop seeing them as such joke characters and get people to play them a bit more serious.
And of course, we can't forget The Sprinkles. I was going to come up with something mildly clever for her too, but I figured it was good enough as it was.

I find this arch-type to be especially cliched, trite, and tired. It tries too hard to be unique and avant-garde. I wish more people would play conventional gnomes, and not ones obsessed with being martial artists.
P.S -- You should write a guide on writing guides. Blow people's minds.
Just keep your hands off me draenei.

I voted for humans. Kiffles already wrote an excellent guide on Gnomes, so I'd like to see Humans get the guide treatment, as they tend to get played fairly generic.

Unless someone had a joke character that lasted two days.
I played a female Dwarf armorsmith for quite some time here until I recently retired her, though I think it was mostly while you were away. There is also Drena more recently. But yes, I'd love to see more fwarfs.
Heh, I was hoping for a tie breaker between gnomes and humans, and as it seems, over night humans have most definitely won. I'll get started on the guide as soon as I can. If anyone has anything in particular that they'd like to see in the guide, then feel free to post any and all ideas here. And don't worry, I intend to have a section about the classes humans have and how to adequately RP them, at least from a historical standpoint (I'm looking at you, Paladins).
