Honestly, when it comes to a question like this it always a matter of opinion. You can check out some sites like wowhead.com that will give you some opinions on races and some other information and also helps with questing. When you want to chose a faction and race and class when starting to play World of Warcraft, you can look through all the descriptions provided in the in game create a character screen and just decide what you like best.No race is particularly easier than the other and so it's just up to what you like playing the best so I would just go with what appeals to you.
World of Warcraft is one of the easiest MMORPG games to play so I think it one of the best for beginners.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
