I did some research on Elder Scrolls Online, and apparently there will be 3 factions to chose from:
Ebonheart Pact for Argonians, Dunmers and Nords
Daggerfall Covenant for Bretons, Orcs and Redguards
And finally Aldmeri Dominion for Altmer, Bosmer and Khajit.

Imperials are not a playable race because they are the "villains" in this game; in order to win the battle between the three factions and Imperials, Imperials made a deal with Molag Bal, and have earned the help of his undead army. This left the other factions in a tough situation, being have to fight Imperials, Molag Bal's undead army and other factions.

The story looks interesting so far, but I wish the Khajit and Argonian would be allies.

I'd probably join the Ebonheart Pact.
The Dagerfall Covenant I'm neutral towards.
And finnaly, The Aldmeri Dominion can go fuck themselves.

Does anyone know what the gameplay is going to be like? Will it be first person like the other TES or like WoW?

I found the Ebonheart to be the most logical too; but I'd personally prefer having Redguards or Khajit instead of Dunmers, but I guess this balances out better this way. Or, it could be like this;
Nords, Argonians, Bretons
Orcs, Khajit, Dunmer
Redguards, Bosmer, Altmer
So each faction has a race suited for melee combat, a race suited towards the agile classes, and a race for spellcasting. But since I don't know that much about the whole factions gathering up, I can't produce any ideas that would work nicely.

I suppose that would just mean every race has a strong point. Aldmeri Dominion have magic (Altmer and Bosmer), the Dagerfall Covenant has warriors (Orcs and Redguards) and the Ebonheart pack has stealth. (Dunmer and Argonians. Assuming Dunmer make good assassins. Maybe I'm just racist because they have dark skin.)

Dunmer are better than Bosmer on magic in most of the Elder Scrolls games, but you're right, they also make great thiefs and archers.
That makes sense.
