It might be a long wait, but I think that the Haranir may finally join us in The Last Titan if not sooner in Midnight.
If the Haranir are off the table, are there any possible (already introduced) allied races we could see in the expansion trilogy?
Maybe Amani in Midnight, but what would be the Alliance equivalent? Unless we get Alliance Trolls after Horde Dwarves…
They’ve already laid the groundwork for Ethereal customization if they choose to go that route.
I’d like drakkari undead trolls tbh
One thing that I couldn’t help but notice was how the Weathered Northrend Sigil trinket from the prepatch turned players would turn players into either a Vrykul, a Taunka, and an Iron Dwarf. However only the Vrykul and Taunka received a label as such. For example if a Blood Elf Mage had the Taunka change trigger, their label was changed into Taunka Mage, while the Iron Dwarf transformation would still list them as a Blood Elf Mage. So I kind of wonder if we could see Alliance Vrykul and Horde Taunka come The Last Titan.
Not going to lie, as someone who wants playable Taunka, I would be okay with that.
Alliance Forest Trolls would be a hard sell as the Forest Troll tribes are all hostile against the Alliance, while the Horde has the Revantusk tribe to serve as an avenue for playable Horde Forest Trolls.
Now I feel that the Broken were seeded with the Seeing Red and Draenei Heritage quest chains, so I could see Alliance Broken and Horde Forest Trolls.
I have to honest while there are couple of races that I would like to see made playable, I really hope that we can get playable Ogres during the World Soul Saga.
Are we set on just 1 allied race per expansion? 
I defintely see 11.2 in K’aresh, and we getting Ethereals for Midnight’s release - because they usually introduce the race first and then make it playable a little later on.
I think the Rootlands could come for a Midnight patch, mainly because it’s a strong loose end and they’ll need something with a distinct theme to avoid having the expansion being one-note with void all the time… And then, after that is resolved, we feature Haranir for TLT’s release.
I hope not because I like the Horde and Alliance having different playable races. Don’t get me wrong I’m okay with some overlap with the Pandaren and Dracthyr, but I don’t too much overlap.
Earthen are the definition of “too much overlap.”
Horde don’t need rock dorfs when we could have had dark troelfs.
Horde shouldnt have gotten Earthen. One of the dumbest decisions blizz has made. Im still waiting on Ogres and Taunka.
It is honestly amazing how Blizzard just refuses to give Ogres to the Horde and proper High Elves to the Alliance. Instead Alliance got bootleg high elves in the form of Void Elves.
It is honestly funny whenever Blizzard used the “population” excuse for various things (e.g. Pandaren not having Death Knights until Shadowlands outside of a horde Garrison follower) only to make Void Elves a thing.
Bonus points being blizz has two High Elf Sorceress and a Void Elf Rift Warden walking on the Mage District on ocassion. The group is by the Lamb, a high elf sorceress and the riftwarden go on a walk and the other stays behind
I thought it’s funny how blizz keeps teasing that high elves are infact part of the alliance, but is severely allergic to making them playable
When it comes to Ogres we know that they were considered for both Vanilla and Cataclysm, so they are aware of the interest. They’ve just failed to materialize it.
People said the same thing about elves so they will learn to live with it.
I hope we get more base races. Having TWW launch with no new class or race, just 1 allied race of recolored dwarves sucked.
frankly, if they’re gonna add more races (and i think i’ve said this elsewhere), they should either add neutral races who can choose either, or else races already present in both factions which aren’t playable. the faction war won’t be back for a while, if ever, so it doesn’t make a ton of sense to force new races to choose a side.
No, the ethereal customization options are not player compatible, the Harranir are.
If they wanted to make a playable ethereal race it would need to be built from the ground up, and it wouldn’t be an allied race.
The new Ethereal customization options are NPC. the best way to describe it is that each different color or option is a unique model with its own ID.
Whereas player models are more like Legos in the sense that they can be taken apart and mixed and matched.
They are two body types with rigging for gear and a range of customization options like existing races. Allied race or not is Blizzard’s call, if they do decide to make them playable.
Taunka and Frostborn. They make the most sense.
The last thing we need is yet another dwarf variant as a allied race
Keep the meme going. Frostborn Dwarves in Midnight and Iron Dwarves in The Last Titan.
The World Dwarf Saga.
High Elves and Amani are redundant, Ogres are not possible and people would whine a lot if they get scaled down to Dracthyr-sized for playability on top of the fact that it would be the absolute least played race on either side.
Ethereals makes sense.
