I'd love to play in this as I have all the Warcraft games and expansion packs, but I haven't got the actual book yet :-/

Would it be necessary to have the Warcraft RPG book to play in this?

Don't think so. The principal is still DnD. There's all new races, 3 new classes and a bunch of new PrCs though.
Classes: Fighter, Barbarian, Rogue, Sorceror, Wizard, Healer, Scout, Tinker
Also, Warcraft relies heavily on PrCs. The Healer is simply a tuned down cleric (no domains, not as good weapon/armor proficiencies, no turn undead, less spells to choose from, but a feat at every 5 levels), but there are PrCs to severely boost the class.

Er, sophist, were you planning on DMing this or were you hoping that someone else would volunteer?
Sorry, but illness cast me down over the last days.
Now that I see interest, I will prepare & gather my scatterd notes.
I am ok with a horde-style campagin, but I plan on using the neutral
goblin city of Rachet, too. This will be one of the main bases in the
campagin. But giving it a definitive Horde twist is no problem.
The fist stuff i deliver will probably be pretty basic, to make me more
comfortable with the PbP medium and the fluff & crunsh as presented
in the WCRPG book. I DID read it, but now again with a look for
adventure opportunity.
To give you some ideas what I would allow for characters I offer
you the following guidelines:
* 4th level
* 28 point buy.
* for creation, you get a fixed number of hp for levels 2,3,4: for d4 you get
2,5 hp, for a d6:4, d8: 5,5, d10: 7, and d12: 8,5.
After summung this up, drop all fractions:
e.g Ftr2/rog1/Hlr1 -> 10+7+4+5,5=26,5 which rounds to 26
* I want no scourge or burning legion sympathy people. No chars evil to
the core. WC3 proved the the horde is NOT evil per se and I want to
keep it that way.
* beginning gold is 3000 gp. I know this is below what the DMG offers for
4th level chars, but I want more economic verisimilitude in the game
so while treasure will less than might be randomly generated by treasure
tables, it will be still over the income of "Normal" people.
* designing a background for you character WILL be apreciated and I am open
to a group concept.
* you will not need the WCRPG book to play, but I want familiarity with the
"world of warcraft". For other rules the SRD3.5 should suffice, although
I will use PHB, DMG and MM.
these are my basic ideas, but look for a longer post tomorrow.
I think I should start the definitive recruitment with that post also.
But so far we have:
garyh - orc scout
venus - shaman?
Thels - ?
dead_radish - one of three ideas
Robert_Raets - ?
King of chaos - ?
these people are on my primary list.
I look forward to play.

Woo hoo!
I'm still waffling horribly - mainly it'll depend on what others play, I think. The Orc would be a barbarian, with a big axe, fanatically loyal to the horde, with a hatred for Hellscream and those that corrupted the Horde.
The Tauren would be more of a spiritual warrior/clerical type - I just liked the Tauren.
The Night Elf would be an archer type, possibly even moving on to Horde assassin - more of a cold and mercenary type than a "good" person, but very trustworthy, if you know where the money's coming from.
Some of the warcraft archery feats are just neat.
I think it'll mainly depend on what the group is lacking.
