It seems we will have Gilgoblin in the Blackwater Cartel but also some other ones in Undermine.
Ohh that’s awesome! I hope we get them playable in some capacity.
Some screenshots have popped up of Gilgoblin/Kelfin sightings in the Undermine, first from an official short video:

The video in question comes from here:
And the other sightings:

Not sure what all they’re doing there. I mean, they’d be much better being in a place like Orgrimmar and other Horde cities. Especially on the Horde side of that character creation screen.
I’ll have to see if we can learn more when the next patch comes out and we can investigate in-game. It’ll be coming out on February 25th:
I’ll help report anything of Kelfin interest after the patch releases.

That’s a neat find.
Hopefully the Unshackled can get more story, such as them formally joining the Horde.
Cries in Kelfin.
TBH I think they are heading to make newer races as neutral races.
While I can see future neutral races being a thing, I can see faction specific races being a thing. For example Ogres are just a Horde race, Broken being an Alliance race, and the Haranir being open to both.
Forever npc’s. Blizz keep them to ya self.
Its good to see that they’re accepted in goblin society. Hopefully that bodes well for future playability.
If Unshackled could be officially a part of the Horde, we could give a spotlight to the Gilboblin but also we could see how the Unshackled (and the Gilboblin) could interact with the Bilgewater Cartel, the Orcs, the Darkspear Trolls and the Tauren in Ogrimmar.
should make it a cc option for current gobs

Top 12 Races That Should be Playable appeared in my YouTube recommended section and Kelfin were amongst the list.
Kelfin would be an awesome Horde race.
Thank for making this thread. I haven’t been active for quite a while since the last one and wasn’t able to update it properly. I am glad even after all this time people still request it.
Just giving the Kelfin some love and I could still see them as a potential playable race for Midnight.
Honestly they could be a playable race at any time. that blizzard is being so stingy on releasing the races that have all but already joined each faction for each faction is ridiculous. imo.
With the BfA TW, I do the Unshackled reputation again. I really think they need to be playable for the Horde. Everything here ready for this. The Unshackled have a very interessing background and it could work pretty well in the Horde. Also we could expand it in the Horde if they could become playable in the future.
Fun fact: The Unshackled leadership is still in the Orgrimmar harbor.
One interesting note about one of the Neri quotes I saw: “Have you seen the ankoan? Impressive fighters, but a bit standoffish. Too bad. We’d be stronger together.”.
So it could be possible for the Unshackled to work with the Ankoan against the Naga and Azshara in an expansion or for a patch.
