Possible future races

Ogre CHADS. Arakkoa would be a good race to pair with them, hoping 14.0 is a return to Outland.

My hopium is for Outland to finally break apart leading to a mass exodus of many of the races there to Azeroth; the Ogres become a part of the Horde and through a series of schemes assume the mantle of leadership under a Warchief, overhaul Orgimmar (now called Ogremar) and start making some course corrections; expand into Azsharah where thereā€™s resources, consolidating territory between Durotar and Mulgore, and make the Horde strong without going full Garrosh.

Alas, but I can only dream.

The next expansions of the worldsoul saga have obvious allied races or customizations possibilities.

Midnight :

  • High Elves (neutral allied race or alliance allied race or new customizations for VE/BE)
  • Forest Trolls (neutral allied race or horde allied race or new customizations for troll)

The last titan:

  • Taunka (horde allied race or new customizations for tauren)
  • Frostborn (alliance allied race or new customizations for dwarves)
  • Sanā€™layn (neutral allied race or new customizations for VE/BE)
  • Ice Trolls (horde allied race or new customizations for troll)

Naga, Ogres, Forest Trolls, with Naga at the tippy top of my list. I will give up on this game forever if they turn them into humanoids, though.

The Blood and Void Elves can already look exactly like High Elves.

Centaurs wonā€™t be done, Iā€™m pretty sure. In fact no species with funny bottoms will become a thing. I want to be wrong but I donā€™t think I am.

Fel orcs, sure, but why? At this point we have all the orcs we need.

Snake people, okay. Donā€™t find them interesting, but okay. They share a rig with which race? Gnomes?

Ogres are on high demand on the Horde and have been since Vanilla WoW Iā€™m not even sure why the hell they havenā€™t added them yet, cause at this point there really isnā€™t any excuse.

Forest trolls okay, more variations of trolls could be cool if they are treated like the Zandalari and not a troll skin job.

Drakanoids, donā€™t even know what they are.

Gnolls have also been in high demand for a while, like the Ogres.

Aqua goblinsā€¦ why? Just why? They are water goblins and nothing else. Dunno why people want those.

Hozen would be fun. Funny race.

Mogu, no opinion on those. Even forgot they existed.

Taunka, sure, but honestly Iā€™d rather just add them as tauren skinjobs cause they arenā€™t really so culturally distinct from the tauren and hm tauren.

Personally Iā€™d like to see more variations of the existing races. Best example is the Forsaken. I suggested it several times, forsaken get the human model, the kultirans and the humans, either way, get the forsaken model which we already seen in BFA as the skinny kultiran. Stuff like that.

With some of those that would by necessity use weird rigs (snake people/naga, centaurs) Iā€™m pretty sure Blizzard would just say ā€œscrew it they donā€™t have armor from the belly-button down and in return weā€™ll give 5 customizations for the lower areaā€ like they did with mechagnomes.

I think they might do Fel Orcs if they eventually decide to open up DH to other races.

Drakonids are the roided out looking cousins of the Drakthyr and what Iā€™m pretty sure half the playerbase wanted instead of the barely disguised fetish that is the Drakthyr.

Some things like the aqua goblins might make some kind of sense as customizations added to existing races rather than fully fleshed out allied races; thereā€™s even kind of a precedent for the aqua goblins from BfA.

But yeah seriously give us more customization options for stuff thatā€™s already in the game, ESPECIALLY for the races that were in the factions from the beginning of WoW. Things like hairs should be relatively easy (and theyā€™ve done the copy-paste thing a lot already) since most of those options are likeā€¦100 vertices and can just be slightly adjusted to fit craniums.

These the big dragonkin Bipedals that were usually the guards in Valdrakken.

New high elf customizations for VE/BE = New hairstyles with braids for example, jewelry/accessories with feathers and ranger/farstrider tattoos.

No. Blizzard already gave you what you wanted be happy and stop being greedy.

Do you prefer the addition of the high elf allied race ?

High Elf allied race are probably coming in Midnight. If the whole eleven reunification thing has any weight beyond just being a narrative one

there is no need for that since the race that looks just the same is already in the game. Two times even.

Youā€™re probably right but I hate it. Itā€™s useless fanservice. How many high elves even are there in the lore? Dalaran kicked the bucket so that probably took a bunch of them, thereā€™s a few eeking out a living in hunting lodges throughout the world, hardly enough of a justification for making an entirely new race (although that didnā€™t stop them with vulpera/mechagnomes). Customization options: pretty elf plus maybe some feather decorations/swirly tattoos. Animation/model/eye options: the same as every other EK elf. Boring/redundant lore.
And probably the most popular race by a country mile if they were introduced.

I hope Midnight begins with a roof collapsing on every single living High Elf. Like, not even related to whatever ongoing crisis is about to happen. Just a bunch of people sitting around talking, roof falls on them, splat splat, no one notices or cares.

alliance high elves are the worst. Not only race traitors but also sitting on the highest horse you can find and happy to slaughter fellow elves when humans tell them to.

Blood Elves also slaughter their fellow elves when humans tell them to if they know whatā€™s good for them.

I have no issue with High Elves, I just think the people who wonā€™t stop whining about something theyā€™ve basically been given (twice) is obnoxious enough that I want the game to specifically, overtly flip them the bird.

How are they coming? They gonna make a 3rd elf race that is all but identical to two existing races?

Iā€™d say they are probably never coming.

If anything? Probably via even more customizations. Like how we got the Manā€™ari skin for the Draenei.

Just a hypothetical though.
