I've stopped caring about the six we know. What about the things coming in the future? That's what is interesting.
I would love to play as a mecha gnome from Ulduar
You wanna know something else?
That NPC is a female. Blizzard RARELY makes females for NPC races unless its important.
Examples of this being:
Arrakoa
Ethereal
Fel Orcs
Broken
Botani
Infested Orcs
Withered Orcs
Ogres
Fel Broken
Jinyu
Hozen
Mogu(Twin Consorts are said to be the only existing individuals of said race that are female)
Greater Arrakoa
Zandalari Trolls
Kobolds
Gnolls
Fel Guards
Doom Guards
Draenor Ogres
Murlocs
Oracles
Furbolg
Wolvar
Lucky-doo people
Poop-raisins(Lost One Broken)
So, why is the first example of a brand spanking new races introduced into the setting, female?
Hopefully that means that this race could be made into an allied race later on down the road.
They're fucking disappointing is what they are.
Mind you, I'm all for sub-races, and I'm glad they're implementing them. But if these
"Allied Races" are the replacement for an entirely NEW race?
That's fucking weak bullshit is what it is. They look nice, sure, but they're still just
re-skins of pre-existing races. They are NOT worth the replacement of an entirely
new race. The fact that we didn't see one was extremely disappointing.
We will able to change our current races to the new ones? if not, they will give us free slots to level up them? I'm full at my realm.

I'm underwhelmed as well.
I was expecting more variety, and the idea that we need to unlock them is very disappointing. I need to max out (level 120?) a character to earn the right to start a new character? Or will we be able to recruit them earlier, during the pre-expansion patch?
(Oh, seems like they'll be unlocked at level 110, not 120. That's way better)

Whatever...
Pretty shitty idea for blizzard to not let the new races play different classes from the elf/cow/troll counter parts.... The new races are just a skin. Would of loved for void elf shaman/druid or troll pally. What a waste.
They're basically sub-races. They do have their own racial traits. That's really the only real difference. Other than that could have been accomplished just with expanded character customization.
Let's get 1 thing straight, I'm not
Nah, they have different animations, skins, everything. These Sub-Races were always meant to just be different skin choices.
Exactly. An "Allied Race" in all honesty, could've been part of a content patch. They aren't "big" enough to merit
being a feature like a new race would be.
Yeah.
Again, its not that I'm shitting on the idea of them, far from it. I'm glad we now have sub-race variety,
but fuck man, I REALLY hoped for something new. Naga and/or Murloc would've been so damn cool.
