Is it? I love trolls, and I tend to be in favor of more options!

At this point in development, I can only hope we get beards for the trolls

There actually is a Forest Troll discord, a Revantusk Tribe focused one, that someone made a long time ago. I came across it on the Allied Race Congregation Discord, which I think was linked in one of the Vulpera megathreads.
It doesnât have many members, though the last few messages on it occurred near the end of September. Not a whole lot of activity otherwise. If I knew how to link Discords, I would link to it for anyone interested.

Devs said that they will address it later. They said that theyâre unlocking option for players and for now letting their headcanon do the job.
But it is weird that theyâre giving us sand trolls and not forest trolls.
As for Darkspears- actually some of their members had a Dark Skin originally. Shadow hunter Tyâjin and the priest trainer in Valley of Spirits.

This thread will neve die!
Still mad Blizzard heard the belves cries for blue eyes to be available outside of npc but didnât let us use green skin.
I do hope they see the work in Baldurâs gate and do a really good in deep work on customizations.

Customization is not equal on all races, im afraid
Hopefully they rectify this on future patches
Also, Darkspear Heritage Armor when

On one hand, it sounds good that itâll get addressed.
On the other hand, while head canon is great for roleplaying, it shouldnât be a requirement to explain things in the game. In this case, any Sand Troll tribes are hostile to the Horde, with a leader of one of them hating the Horde.
Head canon canât work to explain everything. You need a reason for races to join their respective faction. Otherwise, whatâs to stop -insert tribe name here- or -insert race here- from being part of the -insert faction here- without any build-up? I like building up my own backstory for characters, but there needs to be a foundation for races or clans/tribes joining up.
If this were something like the Revantusk, it doesnât need much explanation other than âThey were offered to be members of the Horde because of their help and support!â Something like the Sand Trolls needs an explanation of some kind, especially when there are a lot of questions that need to be answered with them part of the Horde.
If head canon is something weâre being told to utilize as a requirement to explain why something is part of a faction, it just strikes me as lazy.

It was expected honestly from many aspect(more easy to steal-make generic hairstyles on classical races) but seeing how they gave some good ones at orcs and forsakens, I still have hope to see more and better stuff
Thatâs a given, Ion mentioned during some interviews he was asked for this and likely theyâre saving some for big patches to keep people coming
Iâd say around the 9.1 most likely
Orcs were a winner from this (though Iâd like some more hairstyles), but the absolute winner were Night Elves
Completely supporting forest trolls as an option via any methods. Long overdue

Indeed, Forest Trolls should have been part of the Horde from the start instead of the pixies imo and besides, the alliance got the wildhammer finally, the horde needs back their original members

Ion always says âWe plan on doing itâ or something along the lines of âWeâve discussed it with the teamâ
But until I see it on a PTR, I wonât buy it

Wise approach, though fortunately we donât have much content like Warfronts, Islands that took so much time they needed to be scraped past 8.1(So far the only new feature is Torghast that is like visions but more easy) so I feel a bit safe weâll get some more saucy stuff in the future.
One thing they should be shamed is not INCLUDING GREEN SKIN FROM THE START!

I am cautiously optimistic that they only have one time sink feature so far this expac.
Forest trolls should be playable.
Hopefully as a full AR or model toggle.

After druids, the model is the main reason I hope forest trolls are more than just customization, and became a fully fledged race or a proper sub-race. Forest trolls were described by Doomhammer as having the size and strength of ogres.
A proper forest troll should be bulky, as their current model shows, but also roughly the size of tauren, their current model has them only around the size of orcs.

What would be the best way to introduce Forest trolls into the game? A new Allied Race or just troll customization?
I would like Forest Troll customization options as well, such as the Revantusk Trolls, of the Hinterlands. Let us Trolls have green skin! Weâve already got their iconic red hair.

That depends on how we define best.
If by best, we mean the most likely way to get them, then customization. If by best, we mean the most appropriate way where forest trolls can explore their full potential, then AR for sure.

I finally got around to editing the OP. Not too much changed, but with us now having Shadowlands customizations, the first section was in incorrect tense, and the rest of the OP just needed some cleaning.

Ideally for me an AR. Slightly modified racials, new druid forms, tabard, identity, and model. Oh also I could always use another bear mount.

If it had to be an Allied Race, simply introduce them as the Revantusk formally joining the Horde after experiencing increased aggression from the Wildhammer Clan
Since the Revantusk were Zulâjin fanboys and hate High/Blood elves, I think itâd make more sense the Forest Trolls joined the Alliance.
