Only if they look like the Broken and the starting zone is a small area closed off area in swamp of sorrows before they are discovered by the alliance and taken to stormwind.
Oh and make them angry at the orcs, like real angry.

I would rather have blood elves retconned into vanilla than suffer the absolute abomination of holy cows.

Keep the cathedrals the source of the Light, blood elves made the Light into the force and paladins into Jedi; thatās why we ultimately got holy cows. Iām first in line for undead paladins.

Cathedral of Light gives paladins to the alliance, Scarlet Monastery Cathedral gives paladins to the crazed zealots, it would be badass to see a forsaken paladin quest at 60 to secure the Cathedral in Stratholme for the Undercity.
Undead Paladins have existed in the game since the OG vanilla launch, just not playable: https://i.imgur.com/blH8vGr.png several of these guys on an island off the coast of South Shore
There are also Dwarf Shamans in the Wildhammer clan.
Putting kings and windfury on other classes makes someone forced to take that rune. Give the full class.

I think the problem comes from vanilla shaman being much more primal than the cataclysm shaman that was given to dwarves. I really believe the only hangup blizzard has before pulling the trigger on this is making dwarven shaman as lore-viable as undead paladin.
Personally Iād rather have gnome pallies.
All yāall Hordies can keep your shaman.

I personally think it would be fine I wouldnāt have an issue with it But then again if they give Kingās end solve to hoard on other classes?
Does it really matter ? I donāt know, Iāve never been. A fan of the shamanās are on horde and paladins are on a lionās thing. Iāve always kind of thought it was silly.
But thatās my take.
Would be more interesting to add tbc races as hit matters more given how space goats mean alliance 2h uses and casters need 1 less hit or spellhit. Adding jc as well might be good as you might get something in jc which would be akin to the lionheart helm and titan legs.
I would abandon my Alliance bend to 100% rep a Tauren Paladin in a Classic environment. Sadly itās all moo-t as Blizz said āNopeā.

I wrote this in another post (itās just a copy paste),
See a reasoning why I think Dwarf Shamans and Tauren Paladins may be a thing in SoD simply because now they may restrict faction creation if one side is heavily favoured.
You say, play Alliance if you wanna be a Paladin but what if Alliance is locked out?.
Let me explain, I wanna be a Paladin but due to the server being heavily Alliance Iām restricted now to making Horde, Horde cannot be Paladins so essentially why play if you cannot pick the class you prefer. Vice versa with Shamans if Horde is locked.
Having Dwarf Shamans and Tauren Paladins(or whatever races blizzard decides on) literally let the player pick the class at least they prefer.
I guarantee you, players are going to riot if Alliance is locked out and having to choose horde and not being able to pick the class they want. Races are just aesthetic, a class is the gameplay and people live and die by having the gameplay style they like, I definitely wouldnāt play it if I love being a Paladin but canāt be one or a Shaman player but have to go Alliance.
Blizzard really have a lot to figure out by restricting faction creation cause the gameplay of the class is whatās going to keep players invested, Iām not gonna waste my time playing a class I do not like, nor should anyone.
Faction creation restrictions is great for server balance, but itās definitely going to be a double edged blade for those who prefer to play Shaman or Paladins if left how it is. The only way around it is by allowing Shamans on Alliance and Paladins on Horde.
Donāt get me wrong Iām all for Paladins and Shamans being faction exclusive, but now that they are restricting faction creation, Iām not so sure. While Iām lucky to enjoy Priest it doesnāt affect me (happy to go either faction), but I canāt wait to see the forums when a Paladin/Shaman player cannot create the class they love.
Edit: Honestly itās really gonna suck for the Shaman/Paladin players and I really see a lot of problems moving forward for those players if they donāt have an option on either side.

One of the issues is the client itself with the character creation screen. They have to rebuild it to add classes, at least Turtlewow did when they added undead hunter
I definitely agree itās going to take effort for implementation of this, but if nothing is done and considering how popular Paladins and Shamans are, Iād say more so Paladins, imagine not being able to pick the class you love to play.
I love undead paladin, tough for me I suppose, still waiting on 'em.

Regardless on which race can be it, they most definitely should have an option for that gameplay on either side if they are now restricting Faction Creation.
Be it through the addition of older races, Dwarf and Tauren, any Classic Race or new ones Draenei and Blood Elf, just I donāt think players are going to be to happy when this Faction Lockout effects them.
Itās going to be interesting how Blizzard works around this issue. To be honest Iām surprised no one has mentioned this concern. Itās a great counter argument for having the classes on either side.
Imagine if they did this with classes, ātoo many warriors created so they prevent you from making oneā, sounds ridiculous doesnāt it? Especially for a MMO. Thatās going to be how Paladin and Shaman players feel.
Then pick a server thatās not locked.

Say you come to play SoD late due to IRL, work, family, holiday whatever it may be, your friends, Guild already are on a server, so you are going to be the only one to play on another server?
Theyāve announced a RP PVP server, everyone you know is on there so now you miss out due to restrictions?, doesnāt sound good. You may not even want to play Paladin or Shaman, just to be with your friends and community that are Alliance, but you are forced to be Horde.
Like Iāve mentioned itās great for faction balance, but a lot of people are going to be effected.
Paladins donāt have friends!
