You mean Gnomes? But they are already playable? I dont see your pointā€¦

Itā€™s a shame that some races just havenā€™t gotten so much intersection, or any interest, to want to have a mega thread where they are commented on and in which people show their common interest!

The devs themselves asked the community which races would be of interest to players to see in Warcraft as playable!

And yet, we have void belves as a playable race, which is just a blood elves rip off!

Not being a High Elf, I have no problem suggesting arakkoas!
And frankly, if we have void belves extracted from the thin air (a race that doesnā€™t even have lore) added to the game, we could have arakkoas, among others, which have more history than void belves!

Agreed. We really could use more races with variety.

Oof, I do not know which is worseā€¦

The fact that Blizzard themselves even bothered asking for suggestions or the irony that they ignored those very suggestionsā€¦

Bothā€¦

The answer is bothā€¦

Huhā€¦

Not to insult you in any way, but the fact that you confused Arakkoa for Ankoan is surprisingly interestingā€¦

Yay! :bird:

More Arakkoa fans!

Also, just found out that Zanda Boomkin forms also have a swim backwards animation while High Arakkoa donā€™t.

I would love to have arakkoa as a playable race, but I doubt Blizz will go back to WoD to gather more content after how badly that expansion failed.

They did it with the Magā€™har.

Plus, this is ActiBlizz ā€“ notorious for retconning things.

But thereā€™s a massive difference between essentially giving people the untainted, brown skinned orcs theyā€™d been asking for since Classic and actively going back to a failed xpac to pull a race specifically from one of itā€™s zones that relies heavily on the lore from said xpac.

Like I said, I would absolutely love to play an Arakkoa. Iā€™d prefer that to Nightfallen or Zandalari trolls. But I donā€™t see Blizz going back to WoD any time soon to reference it heavily.

Agreed, but thereā€™s also the fact that several other races escaped into Azeroth from Alternate Draenor, with myself actually catching an Arakkoa escaping with the Magā€™har and heading east of Durotar. WHY they were running that direction eludes me, but thereā€™s no telling whatā€™s going on.

We could just as easily find a way to cure the Arakkoa from Outlands (if any are still around by chance because theyā€™re pretty much extinct by now).

Also, we have to take into consideration that if the leaks for Shadowlands are at all plausible then we might be able to see the Arakkoa that escaped AU Draenor into the Shadowlands of OUR world.

But as you said, it is ActiBlizzā€™s call in the end. We just need to make sure they know thereā€™s still an active audience for the Arakkoa.

I transformed into one of these guys with that store toyā€¦

This is needed. Needed badly.

As long as they use the exact hunched over model ā€¦ they are perfect. They already have their own dance and everything.
