I’d love to play a Night Fae. Especially if I got to be a Vorkai. I like them way more than the Sylvar.

I will say one DK does mention SL and the time dilation there when he’s brought back… so not all souls called back by necromancy are from ghosts/souls trapped in between in the grey area we go to when we die (The game universe refers to this in-between of life and death as the “Veil”).
Most Undead are pulled from the Veil, which is where ghosts who never moved on or were prevented from Kyrian ferrying them reside, but there are occurrences of people clearly coming BACK from the SL proper, like Jin’do a Troll spiritualist.

Really don’t want to see shadowlands races as playable, personally. I want to see Blizzard focus on races that have been asked for from Azeroth/Outland/Draenor. I have 0 interest in afterlife race lore, nor them in general. I don’t feel they should leave the afterlife, lorewise, and aren’t even a real ‘race’. They’re dead spirits reformed into…gestures.
Personally I want to see Ogres, Sethrak, San’layn, Arakkoa, Saurok, Jinyu, the list goes on and on and on as opposed to these races that really don’t fit. I love the lore of azeroth and worlds we visited in the living plane.
Shadowlands I can’t wait to leave behind.
I personally hate venthyr lore and appearance. Can’t stand them one bit. Loved the vampyr lore in wrath and am so disappointed it’s now being abandoned for… that. That said, Stoneborn are something I would actually play and be interested in, far more than the venthyr, to put things into perspective–and even so, even if I find Stoneborn neat, I still really do not think they should be playable and wouldn’t be happy if Shadowlands ‘races’ were added.

Yeah. I just don’t like the lore of this expansion, and seeing those four run around azeroth would be a constant reminder. Like Vulpera and Kul’Tirans are now for BfA.

And it’s irrelevant to the entire point.
Dead souls that became part of their Covenant and swore themselves to the service of their Covenant have no place in the mortal realms, just like we’re not supposed to be in the realm of Death.
It. Doesn’t. Make. Sense.
You’re cheating the realm of Death out of what we just restored to them and trying to deprive the place of those most important who became one of the four protectors of the entire realm of Death.
And with that, I’m done.

if living souls are able to get into the shadowlands despite not supposed to be there, why can’t dead souls do the same with the living world? OH WAIT, THAT’S WHAT GHOSTS ARE.
then I’m honestly not sure what you’re arguing because I said the same thing.

Some people were dead against giving the elves the blue eye colours that some people wanted the mto have to play as a ‘high elf’. The debates about those being acceptable in the lore went on the aaages. But it seems people have put that lore debate aside now they’ve been implemented.
Honestly I would rather see Mok’nathal added for Horde, I’m pretty sure Rexxar uses the male Kul’tiran rig or a lightly modified version of it. So use those rigs for Mok’nathal, and for Alliance, idk, maybe Saberon since they use the male Worgen rig, so make female Saberon using the female Worgen rig.

Oof no. We don’t need smurfs.
Reasonable. Having bipeds and quadrupeds as options might be an interesting twist for people.
Are just undead with more skin.
Are just ugly. "Nathanos"-style Forsaken: Vampirates Customization/AR Megathread would be more popular. Probably a better way to apply it to curent wow to.

agreed. the covenants are’nt that interesting (i mean, ‘maybe’ the little fairies would be neat, but they’d probably just be gimmicky after a while) but y’know what would be neat?
…sethrak. or mantid. or arakkoa, or mogu. or ogres and broken… or jinyu and hozen. or tuskarr- pretty-much any races we’ve seen pre-bfa actually.
also, i know mantid are a very long shot… i just liked’em so much i wanna play a bugman.

Another mantid fan in the wild! Agreed about Longshot but I would totally play one. I just think they’re really neat.

yup. super long-shot. though, with every little hint that the light might-not be the ‘ultimate good’ it thinks it is… i get a tiny, itty-bitty bit of hope we’ll get the old-god/empress worshipping bugmen.

I find it odd that alot of people don’t have any interest in these 4 SL races being allied races, even if they don’t care about the lore. But some of the races people are mentioning that they want aren’t interesting at all to me though.
It’s clear since there is no demand for these 4 SL races to be allied races like there was a demand for blue eyed elves or normal hair colour void elves, it’s doubtful there will be even a small chance they would add these races even if they could work it into the lore.

I have Dark Iron Dwarfs unlocked on the Alliance side.
Vulpera, Mag’Har Orcs and Highmointain Tauren unlocked on Horde side.
Not sure yet if I will unlock the rest of them.
Geese maybe Bliz will get rid of the quest chains just to take more fun out of the game.
I hear Garrisons are going away soon.
The Kyrains now have the choice to keep their memories. If the race is neutral, that doesn’t matter.

Exactly. The thought of Shadowlands’ problems only coming from the realm itself has already been proven false. It’s definitely in their best interest to have some of their denizens travel to other realms to keep threats towards the Shadowlands at bay. This doesn’t change their “charge” as some claim.

You know now they have their memories back and know they were lied too, why would they want to stay?

I just thought of something how come my mounts from the Shadowlands can go in the living world freely and stay with us? My mounts from SL are creatures from the SL that live in the SL, how come they’re allowed to leave when ever they want? If these creatures are from the SL that means they aren’t alive since surely nothing living should be in the SL “the afterlife”.
