That large list of things Fallynn posted.
OK that gave me a chuckle, thank you very much hahaha!
And thanks Valathen :) I agree entirely, and isn't it crazy how far we've come? We're still a small community but we've been growing and people are starting to enjoy our ideas. We will continue to approach things kindly and even if we don't get San'layn as an Allied Race, at least we tried and shared our ideas. There's been so many over the past year! Many things I haven't even thought of. I'm thankful for you all, including people that have come in opposed to the idea but that have acted kindly toward us anyway. I appreciate it.
If San'layn do become a thing. That might upset some certain people
Edit: Changed so I don't start something.

we try to stay in positive terms with them and our discord communicate rather regularly, however our communities aren't linked and we would rather keep this thread on the topic of san'layn, not high elves or other allied races which have their own megathreads.
we don't base out requests on what separate communities want, they do their thing, we do ours. We aren't trying to upset anybody by wanting to play as san'layn but if that's unavoidable then we can't do much other than just brush it off.
It would be silly to drop our hopes on one day being able to play as a san'layn just becuse it may upset some strangers on the internet.
GET WOKE OR GO BROKE BLIZZARD!
Not long now. I'm feeling nervous hehe.
rip no news on any allied races other than Kul Tiran or Zandalari. i guess we might possibly see something during the QA maybe, but i kinda doubt it

Yeah, I'm massively disappointed by Blizzcon. I know it's dumb and a lot of people hate Sylvanas, but she has always been one of my favorite characters. To see that she most likely going to become the end boss for BFA (similar Siege of Orgrimmar) and not even in a unique way sucks. The Horde has to play villain again as well as partake in a civil war. Sylvanas goes LOLOldGodsLOL. And to top it off they don't even announce any new allied races? At least we got to see Worgen and Goblin updates and Zandalari can be paladins.
I'm very disappointed too. https://www.wowhead.com/item=153670/sanguine-feather-quill-of-lanathel This is all the news we got. I don't think it means anything. I'll keep giving suggestions and trying, but I'm starting to really get tired of being let down in this game.
They didn't seem to really want to talk much about exactly what we'll be seeing in the later patches of this game. For Legion they were super open and let us know ASAP that we'd end up in Argus. But for BFA they seem to be pretty mum.
It's possible that if they let us know what allied races we could expect, they'd be spoiling much of what happens in 8.2 and 8.3.
Even though it's totally obvious that the Alliance are getting Junker Gnomes in 8.2. Like, ludicrously obvious.
Junker Gnomes and Vulpera will be the 8.2.5 allied races. Which leaves Undead and Worgen as the last parent races to receive allied races.
We'll get those in 8.3. I feel it in my bones.
Trash Gnomes!
Worse than I predicted!
All the problems of regular Gnomes... But worse!!!
At least we get a WC3 Remake and new Worgen/Goblin Models.

Honestly? Sincerely? .... I like them.
The problem with regular gnomes has always been that they haven't had much of a visual identity beyond just being really small. When you're on a faction that already has dwarves, that's a big problem.
Junker/Mecha gnomes literally have entire body parts replaced with robotic limbs. Not to mention variable ocular lenses, metallic chin plates, and metal scalps. Regardless of whether one finds them good looking or ugly, you can't deny they are more visually distinct than their vanilla gnome counterparts.
I actually consider that an improvement.
I know I said to manage expectations pages and pages ago but I didn't think this Blizzcon would be this bad. I actually cancelled my subscription over it. Not even a single allied race announcement.

I don't think it means anything though, I mean the image had a very cool model and was unique (the quill, I mean), and I heard there might be a questline to get it, but I feel like getting my hopes up again just to have them crushed won't be fun.
As for Junkers, good on those who like them, am happy for the gnome community, but I personally don't care for them. I am not a gnome player, however, therefore take that into account. Junkers weren't confirmed an Allied Race, however most likely they will be now.
As for other content talked about... meh? The new stuff doesn't really appeal to me much. Some of it looks kind of cool, but nothing to outweigh the disappointment at
no Allied Races mentioned.

What could that even be for? It's a inscription item and it says its for creating blood contracts.

the person said something along the lines of "it takes the fallen enemies around you and consumes them" so i'm thinking it gives scribes a way to heal themselves or give them a buff based on the number of dead enemies around them.
my only fear is the regular undead elfs... cause im really confident about sethraks and vulperans to not become an allied race at all... the vulperans are just a disbanded people on a desert without anything, no city, not a very cool model, their mount is the only unique thing about them, so yeah no nothing, they are just like a mod for goblins who looks like a fox... and sethraks looks like those npcs who looks exactly the same with almost no difference, like ogres, sauroks, jinyus, the list goes on...
my only fear is the regular undead elfs...
There's no reason that if they do go with Undead Elves that they can't add San'layn themes and abilities.
The Allied Races's racials seem to just be a grab bag of things related to the race anyway.
Think "Bite of the San'layn" or something like that.
Still I would be massively disappointed that San'layn are not the main theme for the race.
