Either they are really fast typists, or they had a little advance notice, but either way, GameSpot's World of Warcraft Preview is already online (thanks Mangar), offering a seven page look ahead at Blizzard's upcoming MMORPG. The preview reveals the project is already over a year old, though no release date is set, and offers thoughts on the game's history, its graphics, and lots about how gameplay will be handled. Here is a bit on what it will be based upon:

World of Warcraft will let you create a persistent character who will live, learn, and fight in the land of Azeroth. You'll have plenty of options even at the outset--namely, Blizzard has already announced three playable races (of an indeterminate total number) that will be featured in the game. These include both male and female versions of the stalwart humans; the fierce orcs; and the massive taurens, a bull-like race that will first be seen in the forthcoming Warcraft III. These characters look extremely impressive already, as does the rest of the game, if only from a visual standpoint, thanks to the game's striking visual design.
