A Third Faction?

[Virgo]

while a third faction seems like something way too complicated to fit in game play wise, i would totally love if they let us betray our factions and let us join the opposite faction (i dont mean race change) i actually mean a cow who is sick of horde and wants to be with alliance or human who wants to be a hordie..

I don't know if it's been said before since I basically read the OP and then hit the Reply button, but this faction couldn't be neutral. It would mean that its races would be allowed in both Alliance and Horde cities and would be unattackable by Alliance and Horde players. They would also get the benefits of both the Alliance and the Horde, meaning twice as much flightpaths, meaning it's easier to get to places, and the fact that they're always nearby a friendly city. The advantages of being in this neutral faction would make the Horde and Alliance totally obsolete. No, if there really was to be a third faction, it would have to have to be at war with the Alliance and the Horde, just as they are with each other.

Anyway, as to what this third faction could be? The Forsaken and the Blood Elves breaking off and making their own faction would be a safe bet. The Night Elves, Draenei and Tauren may create their own faction as well, probably joined by the Furbolgs and Pandaren and possibly even the Worgen. I doubt that this will ever happen in WoW itself though.

Dragonkin
High elves
Half-orcs :P
and ofc murlocks
third faction hurray :P

[Mithrilina]

...
Coalition:
Blood Elves
Dreanai (broken possibly)
Naga (create some lore thing where they've mutated to having legs, Illidan and peeps have power plus you could do something with Outlands)
Murlocs (hell yes Murlocs, they were enslaved or whatever by Naga in WCIII as builders and I know I'd play one)
....

Yes, Murlocs! <3

I'd play one just for the "mrrrlmrrrlmrrrrlm" sound it would make when it attacks stuff. :-D

Otherwise, Garrosh could just buy them into the Horde and let the Alliance have the Naga...

Have undead versions of every playable race

Deathknights?

.... well, i think its better to keep what we currently have... its still quite a mess lore-wise... many things far fetched and so on and so on...
i don´t like the look of this

[grimkiller]

Alliance: Humans, gnomes, dwarves (Alliance is weak, they huddle together for fear of genocide)
Horde: Orcs, trolls, goblins (These are the only ones who tolerate Garrosh)
Manimals: Tauren (man-cow), draenei (man-goat), worgen (man-wolf)
Fairies: Nelfs, Belfs (they unite to share magic and ideas and whatnot)
Corpses: Undead, Scourge (make them playable and put them under the Undead, since the LK lost power, why wouldn't Sylvanas take them as her own)

There.
FIVE factions.
They make enough sense.
Total all-out war with 5 different factions.
BG's would be super insane and fun.

Do it, so I can kill stupid belfs on my orc hunter. <-- whole purpose of my suggestion really
Kthx.

this is a good idea fits lore(from what i know) and it wouldn't be hard to add lore to make this possible

I would totally roll a Vyrkul. They've got a human-like model that's 10x better than the human character models. And they're giant-sized.

[Praier]

Voted 'no' only because unless it's done right, I don't want it. A new neutral faction could be pretty sweet though.

[Reidix]

horde :

orc
tauren
goblin
pandaren
ogre

alliance:

human
night elf
dwarf
gnome
draenei

3rd faction (horde and alliance outcasts)

forsaken
blood elves
worgen
drakonid
troll

Lore wise this don't make seen, the pandaren were friends with the NE so that wouldn't work and the Worgen would NEVER side with the forsaken.

Yes, Murlocs! <3

I'd play one just for the "mrrrlmrrrlmrrrrlm" sound it would make when it attacks stuff. :-D

Otherwise, Garrosh could just buy them into the Horde and let the Alliance have the Naga...

BUY THEM lol all he would have to do is give them a shiney....but the Alliance would be better for them...cause were awesome.

[hurrr]

I seem to remember something about the demons being a playable faction... but that might have been WC3

[Reidix]

Well if blizzard does make a 2nd WoW yes crazy idea but there are some people that say its going to happen. Anyway if they do, it could take play far into the future or WoW and the factions we know today could be LONG gone, and they would be able to change things around...i think that would the only way to impliment a 3rd faction. i just wanted to see if anyone was thinking about it.

[tankytanktank123]

screw murlocs, its all about puppy-men and gorlocs

[Meteos]

I'd love a thrid faction. Maybe make it a secondary antagonist every expansion? Twilight Dragon, Some type of forgotten on, Bug people, Atal'ai Troll, and some other races that could be twisted into serving the Old Gods.

First of all.. why should the third faction be neutral? Why cant they just be at war with other like the rest of the world?

And also, they probably cant change the factions we got now since it would complitly ruin the game with guilds and friends and what not.

But they should be able to make out 6 races from the npc's we are killing now.

Vyrkul's - Probably hate both ally and horde
Fel orcs - Same
Satyrs - Same
Murlocs - Same
Gnolls - Same
Quillboars- Same
Yeti's - Same
Scurge - Same (would be cool with Boulvar LK as faction leader)
Nagas - Same
Pirates - Same
Ninjas - Same
Terminator- Same
You no take candle dudes - Same
Those green shit bloodelfs in sunwell - Same
Burning legion? - Same
Elementals - Some might like us and some may not
Dragonkins - Think its mostly black dragonflight thats hostile
Angry kodos- They spare nobody
Hogger - Hate everyone and everything. Mostly 40 lvl 1 gnomes
Pandas - Those are quite neutral but could probably get shitmad couse we burned down their bamboo
Zerg from starcraft - Hates everyone
Forrest trolls - Another tribe that dont like anyone

And probably many many more... Forgot what i wanted to say with this post but here you go.

Boredom strikes? Nothing borrowed? Nothing new? Okay...

Horde:
Orcs
Bloodhoof Tauren
Darkspear Trolls
Goblins

Southern Alliance:
Stormwind Humans
Ironforge Dwarves
High Elfs

Lordaeron Alliance:
Forsaken
Blood Elves

Lordaeron Liberation:
Worgen
Gilneas Humans
Lordaeron Humans

The Cenarion Circle:
Night Elves
Bloodhoof Tauren (yes...)

The Gnomish Empire

(cut Draenei)

[Lambiicuz]

Third faction should be:

Dwarves
Trolls
Goblins
Orcs

The coolest races.

[Izenhart]

Right now the only reasonable third faction are the Forsaken.


Trolls, Tauren and Blood Elves could as well, but they are way too small as races compared to the Forsaken.

[xebtria]

how the hell would bg's be played?

like this, I guess.
