I dunno. Thats the whole reason I decided to play as Horde. Thrall completely goes against the Orc Archetypes that are common place in the Fantasy genre and even the portrayal from WC1 and WC2.

While I wouldn't think Thrall is perfect. He's actually portrayed as Wise and even caring of his people as opposed to how Blackhand and Doomhammer were portrayed, and I think it's because of who he is that draws people in, Roleplayer or not. After all, if it wasn't set up to the backdrop of a society trying to free itself from demonic taint and attempt to live in peace, hardly anyone would want to play the relative bad guys instead of allowing moral ambiguity.
