I'm in the camp of hoping Zalandari don't get to be paladins so this was welcoming news to get my hopes up. I guess the trade off might be that Dark Iron don't get to be shaman but eh.
To me at least, the magnitude of the customization options are more important than the quantity of them. Highmountain might technically have less options but they are all pretty massive changes
So when do you guys think we'll get an actual alpha client pushed out?

Until they show us that they can actual make an allied race that is nothing like the current ones (such as a Naga),
"Allied races are based on already existing player character-quality models and animations" stays.
That's how it'll be.

Alpha has passed, current build is Beta.
Thank god for DI Dwarves being Paladins.
Now we need that Zandalari Paladins confirmation and we are

I’m curious just how much content is going to be available at alpha launch? I’m assuming just a limited amount so there’s concentrated testing. But how fast will the content come? This is probably going to be a relatively short alpha/beta. WoD and Legion’s precedence with the “release on or before” phrasing would say BFA releases end of August and that means pre-patch in July so alpha/beta testing will last about ~6 months?
To;dr, we can reasonably assume they are going to get a move on quickly.
Well compared to Legion, there will be nothing like 15-20 scenario areas used among 36 specs, tuning of 36 trait trees, class hall, quite large revamps and such.
It’s probably not feasible to truly compare what they need to develop since the amount of effort to implement island expeditions and warfronts is a complete unknown
New slots are in it looks like.
Also looks like Blizz took my $30 and didn't give me a faction change.
Update: Nah looks like they just forgot to apply the "pending" icon when they added in the 4 slots.

Usually I pay super close attention to alphas looking for a release date. But since we already know it’ll be before sept 21st I care a bit less than normal.
I think we’ll have a similar launch to legion. 8.0, lordaeron and squish mid July. Xpac end of August early September.
If it’s earlier that’d be cool too. But no AAA companies release games or xpacs in the middle of summer.
Well according to some people here, it takes an afternoon to do that and a 1 more day for AI. /s
Hopefully for islands we get more in patches, since the individual islands seem to mostly reuse previous expac assets so they aren't not all the same.

Yeah, Legion-like release is what I'm hoping for. Mostly because Uni doesn't start again until October so I would have the first month free

Nice, can now restore my rogue.
