I think the roleplay for the Draenei is going to be very fun in the new Expansion.

The current PC draenei have, for the most part, seen at least 2 (Argus and Draenor), and depending on lore, dozens more worlds destroyed, and ravaged by the Burning Legion. Directly or not, Deathwing is involved with the Burning Legion (Deathwing was created by the Old Gods, who also influenced the creation of the burning legion. Deathwing also took up residence in Outland, thus the Nether Dragonflight we spent days grinding up. Also, he used a Legion demon in creation of the Demon Soul).

Now, just when the first time they've had honest-to-the-Naaru success against the Burning Legion, pushing them back and have reliable allies both mortal and otherwise... thier adoptive homeland is torn asunder. By something that to their best understanding may just be another visage of the Legion.

What will this mean? The Draenei have always counted on magic, but the Comic series tells us Magic is weakening with Malygos' death. And more then a few Draenei have given into torpor and gone into despair (See the questline in Netherstorm). Will more listen to the elements and the Light, and find other ways to channel power?

And what of the Alliance? New Allies come with the Worgen, but they are cursed. Draenei... don't have good track record with cursed peoples ::cough::broken::cough::. And what of these new Shaman in the Alliance ranks? Natural Allies the Dwarves have discovered their elemental roots. What about an Alliance-founded Shaman organization?

I plan on having fun answering.
