If you could make ANY WoW race playable, what would it be, and why?

[Halyon]

Arakkoa, Naga and Saurok, equally.

[Jimok14]

High Elves, Celestials, Ethereals, and lastly Arrakoa. In that order.

[Worgoblin]

vrykul, I NEED EM

But they're basically just humans.... on steroids.

[threads]

ethereal or naga

Given the popularity of High Elves, which are basically night elves with a different eye color, does that really seem so surprising?

I'd rather see them do a sort of race split; you can switch into Dark Iron Dwarves as a dwarf for instance or a High Elf as a Night Elf. That way they don't have to construct an entirely new races based on such similar ones. That or they could just create vastly differing models -- but that seems less useful.

[Blufossa]

In order:

Naga
Centaurs
Arakkoa
Vrykul
Ogres
Furbolgs (highly different from Pandaren, but still cousins)
Murlocs


I want the first two the most because every MMO maker seems scared of putting non-bipedals in their games! Ugh.

I fixed that for you.

Indeed. I'd really love to see Blizz taking some bold steps with future playable races. Let's get weird!

[Acepox]

You have a sharp 6th sense, OP. NAGAS! For The Alliance! And Ogres for the Horde, ofc. :P

[login]

eredar for the horde!!

[Roulette Kneebasha]

Yes please!!!

[Hitei]

Ethereal, because they have an interesting, otherwordly nature. Sitting on the border of humanoid and elemental.
And it'd be cool to see more of their half technology half magic equipment, and get to know their culture and little quirks more.

Plus I mean.. they're awesome, and they blink when running forward.

[Caerule]

1. Ogres.
2. Dryads.

For the rest there's just sub-species I'd like. Mag'har orcs, Dark Iron Dwarves, etc.
I'd have liked Drakonid too, but by now people are sick of dragons, so I don't see that happening. So, just Ogres and Dryads, please.

[Northem]

And the High Elves? Is it no one think of the High Elves? Oh my God!!

[Grumpy Old Man]

Two-headed ogres

[Redmage]

And the High Elves? Is it no one think of the High Elves? Oh my God!!

Fuck yeah! It would be so revolutionary to play a Blood Elf with blue eyes! Why didn't anyone else think of this!!!

/sarcasm

I vote Satyrs.

[Dvaldin]

Ethereals definitely. If that happened, I'd be forced to do a giddy-cheer dance like kermit.

[melodramocracy]

Saurok probably. Lots of good opportunity for new lore with these.

[Deleted]

High Elves (Yes, I know they share model with Blood Elves, but I am getting tired of the damn green eyes)

THIS is your argument for getting High Elves into the game? Wow.

Ethereals, and Arakkoa.
