When I started in april '05 I rolled a NE Rogue, I wanted a Forsaken Hunter, but they weren't available at the time, so I went for one of my classics (I almost always play a human/half-elf/beastly rogue/thief or another stealthy character when I start an RPG) and I liked the visuals of the NE male more than the human's. Still my main and (again) my only toon at 90, but I changed the race to a Worgen when they came out because I am in love with their animations, if I had started with Cata I would have rolled a Worger Rogue (or perhaps druid).
