But we do know. The movie wasn’t based on WoW. That was a major controversy of the movie: WoW’s success facilitated it being created but it is not based on WoW. It was based on the original RTS series, and that series has box art, and user manuals, and all kinds of extra depictions the characters that shipped with the game.
The '90s were a different time where everything was low resolution so you had to actually show players what that 15 by 15 pixel sprite was supposed to be so they could emotionally connect with the game. In all re presented materials, including the actual sprites, the humans and orcs were shown to have near identical physical characteristics, and were the same size. It didn’t get ridiculous until WoW stylized the graphics; which was its own controversy in its time (2005).
