what is the best race???  

Well, as start, i think that the races exists and are so diferent´s cuz you need to find what´s the best, but the best FOR YOU.
In my case, i always liked the elfs, cuz i think they have a perfect sincrony of grace and strenght, in your case, that already thinked about start an Orc, i guess you always liked of play with the strongest characters...

so, as the most games, all i can tell you, is that you have to find the character that is best for you, and don´t forget, don´t forget that if you play just to "be the best" you will start to get bored, so play to have fun, findind the char that you like more.

tkyou

The best race for me would be undead cause their warriors are strong. They have that cannibalize skill which makes them regen faster. Haha thats awesome and the place where they start out is very good cause u can just take a zeppelin to kalimdor so easily.

i think night elves is the best race&mext it will be human

Undeads are bones in a bag, draeneis are cooler :D

Undead might be a bag of bones, but they get a cool mount and anti-charm, anti-fear ability. As for all other races, choosing most any horde race is good for pvping, while choosing any alliance race is good for pveing.

It all depends on what you want for in the game. If you want to pvp well, the undead racial is good to get away from ccs. If you want to look cool, go for the blood elf warlock combi. Orc warlock deals pretty good damage but nowadays their shadows shrinked a lot.... so they actually looks gimp.

hmm
there are nine different races in world of warcraft..
and obviously all will be equally placed when it comes to gameplay..
all i cold say is take one according to your likings.
i like night elves an i take that .
ihate undead .
but then you may love undead and so i would advocate that you choose one to your liking rather than asking..
everyone where noobs when they joined
so you neednt worry
good gaming..:D
have a nice day!!
