What might the lore be behind these particular six races? I don't think naga and ethereals have much in common, to be perfectly honest.

Funny you should make this thread, I came up with my personal pick in a similar thread:

Tempoarily faction name though:
Balance:
1. Pandaren.
2. Tuskarr.
3. Furbolg.
4. Wolvar.
5. Gnoll.

The faction kinda speaks for it self, these races live in harmony with the nature and respects it for what it is, some more peaceful and some more warmongerish (is that even a word?), though they are all sort of small in size they are far from pushovers.
Will probably be renamed "furries" by the haters. :<

They're all neutral? Nagas aren't, but the rest kind of are. Add quillboar for more neutrality.

I'm sure the argument could be made for a rogue band of Naga, similar to how goblins are neutral, but the Bilgewater cartel decided to side.

the npc faction!

Would you really play quillboar if you could...?

when Burning Crusade rumours first began to surface I was hoping for a third faction, the Illidari with Blood Elves, Naga, Broken and maybe some demonic races
but look at how difficult it is to balance the game with just two factions...

[Copain]

There's plenty of neutral factions.


Now if you want playable ones..

[Pie Lord]

Instead of just throwing out a bunch of (seemingly random) races, why don't you first give us the reason you think there should even be a third faction in the first place. We may actually be able to get a decent discussion out of that. (Though previous experiences with these forums leads me seriously doubt that.)

Maybe cuz neutrals are getting tired of being slaughtered by the horde and alliance ?

3rd faction is interesting, the problems are : lore, territory and races to join

south barrens is up for the taking :P lol

Funny you should make this thread, I came up with my personal pick in a similar thread:

Tempoarily faction name though:
Balance:
1. Pandaren. Not this shit again
2. Tuskarr.
3. Furbolg. Furbolg are being corrupted and driven insane even if a demon sneezes their way. A terrible choice for a balance faction.
4. Wolvar. Are we playing the same game ? The wolvar are very aggresive and generally stupid. A fine adition to the horde, imo, not a balance faction
5. Gnoll. Gnolls are a version of goblins. They are higly opportunistic, with no allegiance to anyone and no respect for anything.

The faction kinda speaks for it self, these races live in harmony with the nature and respects it for what it is, some more peaceful and some more warmongerish (is that even a word?), though they are all sort of small in size they are far from pushovers.

Dude! Can you imagine the CareBears, Seasame Street and Hello Kitty characters being another faction in a game. I'mma be in Stormwind, chillin. Then all of a sudden I'mma see [Stormwind is under attack] look up and see a pink cloud fly over the keep with one of the carebears mimicking George Washingtons stance on the rowboat.
/squeal. S**t's gonna be so badass!

Being interesting simple is not enough to launch the massive game overhaul that a third faction would require. Such a revamp would make Cataclysm look like nothing more than a minor patch. For Blizzard to even consider the idea they would need a damn good reason, and "interesting" doesn't even come close.

Borg... they chased the dranei spaceship. resistance is futile lol

ok fine, I vote for either ethereal or demons, but that expansions over
I'd like to see something exotic without it being completely ridiculous centaur dont seem like they could develop into an entire faction, naga could, they looked cool in WC3 but cheesy in wow IMO... ethereal look pretty cool and you could develop them quite a bit. demons are trite but theres a foundation for them atleast. maybe they just need to make a new race since it doesnt make a lot of sense to go retro to BC or wotlk

[Nethersys]

the only Race that i want in game is Mok'Nathal (with changed model)

[Terradii]

this has been done to death and we always come out at the same conclusion....no we arent going to get a new faction. why because a) there is no need for another faction and b) all the races who arent in horde or alliance arent logical choices for say, talking? communicating in way, hav u seen any of those races except pandaren or naga do this?

I have to disagree with you in regards to communication. Aside from the Naga and Pandaren we have seen Orges, Kobolds, Troggs, Wolvar, Gorlocs and Centaur speak at one point or another. And keep in mind these are races I only pulled from the top of my head, if someone were to dedicate a fair amount of time to this they could come up with far more races than those I listed.

Leave troll. You have obviously no idea about the lore, I followed the instructions on this thread and you did not.
Now stop whatever you find funny, because it is obviously not.
