If you've decided that you want to play Alliance, the next thin that you are going to need to decide is what race you want to play. The advantages that each of the races has is fairly minimal, and if there is a race that you really like the look of, definitely play that race, but if you want to know how they are different, there are a few things to keep in mind. Even a small edge can be important, so see what you have available.
Humans
When you are thinking of rolling up a Human, you are looking at a +5 to your sword an mace skill as well as increased spirit and increased stealth detection. With the increased spirit, you have an advantage if you choose to play a priest, and if you are going to specialize in sword or mace, the +5 modifier can be important. Stealth detection is not going to come up all that often, so take some time and consider the other bonuses.
Gnomes
Not only are Gnomes built smaller and are harder to hit, they can also get away from speed altering effects with their escape artist trait. This trait also allows a Gnome to cut back on the damage that is coming his way, and the +5 intelligence is perfect for mages or warlocks, as is the increased arcane resistance. When you are looking at professions, Gnomes get a +5 to engineering, which can be quite helpful.
Dwarves
Dwarves are the only race on the Alliance that can play a paladin besides Humans, but remember that they lose out when it comes to agility! If you are interested in playing a caster class, stone form can keep you safe as you level. You will also find that if you are interested in playing a Dwarf hunter than a +5 gun skill can come in handy and frost resistance can be useful during PVE.
Night Elves
When you are looking around your server, you might find that there are many Night Elf hunters and rogues, and there is a very good reason for that. The dodge bonus that Night Elves get can keep you from getting hit in the first place, something that is essential for rogues and hunters. Night Elves also have a resistance to nature damage and they also have access to Shadow Meld, which drops their threat and can make surviving solo a lot easier.
Draenei
The newest Alliance race has a lot to offer. Gift of the Naaru gives the entire race the ability to heal, and because it can heal yourself or another person, it is quite handy. Draenei have an increased chance to hit, which is great for any class, and they are also resistant to shadow magic. In terms of professions, they also have a +5 to jewelcrafting.
Take some time and look over the races carefully. If you are feeling a little confused, remember that an Alliance leveling guide can help you make your decision! - 30202
