There was a time when the Blizzard parking lot used to empty out before 11PM - but that was before the internal alpha of World of Warcraft went live. Although the population of the Blizzard building isn't quite enough to make for a truly "massively" multiplayer experience yet, somehow the call of exploring Azeroth and Kalimdor, even with fifty of your office mates, is enough to override more sensible instincts like eating and sleeping.

Wanting to share some of that excitement, the team has revealed a lot of new information on the Troll and Gnome races. Both were previously announced as playable races in Computer Games Magazine, but are now much further along and Blizzard Creative Director, Chris Metzen, sat down with us to answer a few questions about what's in store.

You can find a article the TTH team found from before WOW had been released, or better yet, before the Trolls or Gnomes had been offically announced as races!
