Hello, i'm very bored and I would like to take this to explain why I feel that murloc's can be amazing playable race! This topic has been talked about for the longest, so you guys that disagree about this idea please take a few moments to read this topic because I'm gonna try to show you "haters" why murloc's can work out!
Murloc's have been one of the oldest races in the history, even known as pre-dated trolls of wow lore and also one of the most famous, and they have so much history with pretty much every race known in a good way or a bad way, eaither way murloc's have connections within wow history.
Murloc's are considerd humanoids...this may be one of the main reasons players hate the idea of murloc's being able to be a playable race because people think they don't look like humanoids. Murloc's live in tribes and villages usualy near the shore and also scout out and spy on other enemy tribes and reef around them, even tho murloc's are skeptic around mortals they do stay loyal and dependent around there own kind.
What I also want to add is that even tho murloc's are very popular they do have A LOT of mystery within there history, so this can allow murloc's to have a type of history to make them fit the type of race to be playable.
And since murloc's don't "sound" or "look" like humanoids I'm pretty sure blizzard can tweak a few things around like how there doing now to worgens for cataclysm.
Now before I post my ideas on the classes murloc's could be I want to add that blizzard were taking this idea into concideration several times, also if they were playable I think they should be the first neutral race in wow so you can choose if you want your murloc's to be alliance or horde because of the type of given history of murloc's.
Murloc's Racial's:
Call Family: the murloc summons several other murloc to fight on your side for 20 seconds, the damage is based of your spell power or attack power. (if your a physical spec/class the summon murloc's go melee range and if your a caster spec/class the summon murloc's stay at range).
Splash: +5 fire resist
Fisherman: +15 fishing
Slippery: reduce root duration by 10%
Murloc's classes:
Death Knight
Hunter
Mage
Priest
Rogue
Shaman
Warrior
Now before you post I would like you to read what I typed so you can get the whole picture, and to the murloc "haters" I hope I changed your view on the idea of murloc's being a playable race.
Thank you for your time.
