Alliance WoW race revealed? (Gamespy)

Probably, given their love of "Hrm...you mean we pulled what out of where?" Then again...this was supposed to be the 'unattractive/big race'. Sorry, if that's their version of unattractive, I really hate to think what they view the Orc or Troll being.

Do NOT tell me they fucking retconned that.

well since acording to the current timeline the Orcs and Humans had no contact before the first war (when Garona was already an adult) so she can't be half human (she's half orc half something else (possibly Draenei).

Hrm. I'd always heard she was half-Draenei, long before the news from the expansion. Given that the Orcs were tossed into Azeroth in Ready-Made Rampage Mode, that would make a lot more sense.

it's a common rumor, but IIRC official word is something but not Azeroth Humans (the other half being of course the Orcs).

The Draenei were a weak people - hardly worth the effort of our raiding sweep.

The extent of Blizzard's complete and utter disregard for continuity since War3 never ceases to amaze me.

I would be completely unsurprised if their next sickening move was to link Starcraft and Warcraft into the same universe.

Diablo is a much more likely.

With the Warcraft world being somewhere within a giant "Eye of Chaos", perhaps?

how is this in conflict with the current Draenei backstory? Akama's people masters of stealth so the surving 20% is easly explained by that (the quote after from the Orcish POV and not omnicent).
