exactly. I understand the majority of this thread is fantasy and completely unlikely. Doesn’t make it any less fun to think and talk about. That is the entire point, and hey, there is always a chance, no matter how small, that bliz would see this post or others and make something based on player support. Several people here have said they want Jinyu and Sethrak, maybe bliz sees that and says sure, lets do it.

I couldn’t say this any better.
If there is any chance that this thread can inspire Blizzard to deliver to the players a beloved race then its entirely worth the fun of it all.
in light of the new class reveal id like to point out that a new race with a single class to it looks fairly doable that being said in response to the second point made, we literally built a titan, i think we can figure out some way of making semi-sentient automa with some help from npcs.
Finally, I wanted dragonkin, i got something close enough to make me happy, it seems fairly thought out and unique so itll add some flavor to the game. My biggest hope is that it is viable without being broken, and yes, some day i would like to see them maybe become warriors, mages, w/e.
Why was Sethrak not the first on your list?
What about Gnolls? They would be a fun race to play.
I’m still holding out for forest trolls and ogres for Horde / broken Draenei and jinyu for alliance.
Frostborn Dwarves
I’ve always thought these guys were pretty cool, they have interesting lore but not a lot to really get crazy with, that creates a chance to expand the lore somewhere interesting. I’m no expert on the lore but I know they have a decent relationship with the alliance, so I would see them going that way.
faction - alliance
Racial - frost armor, temporarily increases armor and/or damage resistance for a few seconds.
Racial - frost shot, blast the target with ice
Racial - is it cold in here? - Shrink slightly increasing your chance to dodge and reducing your chance to take a critical strike.
Classes - Warrior, hunter, monk, mage, shaman, priest, rogue, dk
Mount - the white eagles they keep in northrendEarthen Dwarves
Again, now that we know about these guys and their lore, they are pretty cool.
faction - both
Racial - Earth armor, im sure you can guess
Racial - Geomancy, blast your target with rocks
Classes - Warrior, Hunter, Shaman, rogue
Mount - geo worms or shale spiders
Nah, Alliance doesn’t need more short and hairy races that no one’s actually going to play.
Vykrul
The race that beta tested being human. Honestly, if horde get ogres this is my answer for alliance.
faction - alliance
Racial - rage, temporarily go into a rage boosting damage at the cost of defense.
Classes - Warrior, Hunter, Shaman, mage, priest, dk, monk, druid (thats a hell of a cat? right there)
Mount - giant ox
This is more like it.
I need to make a few more of these.
Adjusted my previous lists with mage rogue and priest as applicable.
