Horde gets Dorfs in the next xpac. Which Horde race should become neutral for Alli to get?

I suggest either Shadow/Dark Troll but make it more primal, or Taunkas! But I am also in favor of Kelfins. What do you guys think we would get in TWW/ Within /Warthin?

I’d just rather they move further to the point where “Horde” or “Alliance” really only means much for PvP, and even then not so much (it doesn’t already for rated BG and arena).

I’m more interested in your name shortening.

“Warthin”? Is that a thing we’re doing?

We will give you vulpera. It was a hard decision to make, but it had to be done.

I’d perfer them to be horde only… But I’d be okay if hozen were added as a neutral race.

So we can all enjoy ookin’ em in the dooker rogue style.

Orc, troll, or tauren reskins would make the most sense to balance it out. Three skins of an original core race on each faction. Otherwise, three dwarf types on Alliance and no counterpart trio on Horde just seems wonky.

Alliance already got Blood Elves.

And Earthen aren’t even Dwarves, so it doesn’t even the score.

The real question should be: “Earthen will get cosmetics to make them look just like actual Dwarves, since Alliance got Blood Elves sort-of but then threw a hissyfit and demanded that they be IDENTICAL to Blood Elves, and Blizzard gave it to them, right?”

Instead of “Horde gets this alliance copy, Alliance gets this Horde copy”, I’d rather they just “open the borders”, remove the pointless language barrier, and have the rest of the game actually reflect the horde/alliance unity and cooperation we see on the dragon isles.

War mode should activate hostile zones, keep the language barrier, and kill-on-sight city NPCs. But when War Mode is off, those things should all vanish. If an Orc can say “Light be with you” to me on the waking shores, why can’t I take a leisurely stroll into Ogrimmar? Clearly we’re at peace now.

Everyone wins this way too. War moders and PvPers keep that artificial sense of conflict. The rest of us get a gameplay experience that matches the story.

The problem is that “unity” always means that Alliance characters, stories, dialogues, and themes are front-and-center and Horde, if present at all, are in the background.

Delete the Alliance from the game and just roll all our characters over to the Horde side, and I’m on board with what you’re suggesting.

Except people who want Blizzard to tell Horde stories with Horde characters, again.

I mean the Dark Trolls are literally allied with the Night Elves

Realistically, it’s void/blood elves. But, if we’re throwing out wild speculation, I’m going to say blood trolls.

Trolls. Because trolls are my favorite race that aren’t alliance and it would be cool if every single one of my characters was in the same faction/place.
