Seasonal pool: Next playable race. what are the possibilities?

[Le Conceptuel]

Ethereals. I have very little to support my vote as anything plausible, I am just expressing a personal desire.

[Kilpi]

As the finger curled on the severed monkey paw, Blizzard announced Forest Trolls are coming!... as cosmetic options for the original Troll race.

As someone who doesn't really want to start a new a main, I'd much rather have them doing ONLY cosmetic or "subrace" options for existing ones and never add a new race or allied race.

[Lochton]

Eh, Ethereals or Ogres...


... Botani would be WAY in the bottom of the list.

[Triceron]

Ethereals or Naga.


I'd really love a K'aresh expansion that goes full deep into Persian/Arabian/Indian mythology inspirations, with a cosmic twist. There's so much to draw from, and Ethereals are our perfect gateway to take the fight to the Void Lords.


And I just want Naga for the sake of nostalgia. They were so damned OP in the campaign.

[username993720]

Can't this be a multiple choice survey?

[Alanar]

I only really want Vrykul foe the horde.

[sensei]

Ethereals. I have very little to support my vote as anything plausible, I am just expressing a personal desire.

Actually I could totally see Ethereals, because Bliz could easily make them work for both factions and they could also easily make up excuses why 90% of transmogs don't work with them. And we all know how Bliz loves that. Non-visage Dracthyr and Mechagnomes I'm looking at you.

[Alicianna]

If we are going back to mainland Azeroth maybe quillboar and centaur. If it’s another „space“ adventure it could be etherals. But honestly: I don‘t want another race.
Do some sub-race maybe but that it. Rather give us some more classoptions (a Hunter or a Warlock tanking with their pet, a caster option for demon hunters, a tanking shaman… something like that.

[Xosimos]

The only correct answer is Murloc.

[Cynical Asshole]

Ogre LOL. If there was ever a case of "You think you do, but you don't", it would involve Ogres as a playable race.

Nobody would play this race other than ironically. People in general want to play badass races and/or pretty races, and there is nothing badass about a dumb fat fuck nor pretty.

Oh you want fat fucks? Then play Kul'tirans. Oh wait, nobody plays them, especially not the female model, I haven't seen a female kul'tiran in the game since last year.

Adding Ogres would be a huge waste of time and money to make a playable race that would be the rage for a couple of months and then go extinct.

[Fistfighter]

The leak that told us about Dragonflight, told us about a pre-purchase unlockable race.

The prepurchase unlockable race were DRACTHYRS and we ALREADY GOT THEM

Or its just ur opinion man KulTirans have a quite long achi to unlock them and thats prob the main reason. Im to lazy to do this and at the same time i like them. If they will ADD unlocking race to the shop. Im 1st in the que to buy it.

YOU wouldnt, but you dont speak for other people, many people would love them

and not many would play fat orcs either, but ogres are not fat orcs in the same way kultirans are fat human...

[Dancaris]

I don't know what could the next playable races be, but I sure want to see Ogres for Horde and Vrykul for Alliance.

We have already half-vrykul aka Kul-Tirans. To offset - Horde must have half-ogres aka Mok'Nathals.
Vrykuls and ogres share some origin as creatures that created by titan-made intities. And playable Mok'Nathals (with shared kul-tiran skeleton as Rexxar) is far better pick for me. Ogres and Vrykuls are too large to be playable. Imagine ogre at mechanostrider. Or poor, poor wyvernas.

mok'nathal would be great but id still prefer ogres... hell if wyverns can handle tauren they can handle ogres, fat is lighter than muscle

[Mustardisbad]

Really anything is possible now. They came up with Dracthyr out of nothing while there were already a huge amount of warcraft races people wanted to play and literally most armor does not even work on them, so I have no idea what they will do next.

As far as ogres go, there is a clan in Ferlas, and Dustwallow marsh that serve the horde, not sure why they were not recruited in Legion or BfA when Rexar finally came out of hibernation (He is their warchief). Also I firmly believe they were going to be added in WoD as a mid expansion race. We were going to the ogre continent to overthrow the leadership there, but obviously that didn't happen. Seems like blizzard is allergic to them.

[Shadowferal]

Very few races post-MoP make the grade to me. All races should get scrutiny for a potential makeover. Ogres in particular.

That, and Kul Tirans are just fat people; Ogres are hilarious, intensely destructive, cannibalistic fat people that sometimes have two heads. I certainly can imagine there are more people who want to play as Cho'gall or the Ogre Mage unit from Warcraft II than people who wanted to play as the American Daelin Proudmoore.

[Skytotem]

Where are Mogu and Jinyu/Ankoan options?

Failing that, Tuskarr and Ogres for Horde, while Alliance should get Broken and Botani should go Alliance, and Arakkoa should be neutral.

moknathal make no sense and is much more of a work that doesn't pay off

Kul'tiran had a different identity compared to normal humans, as kul'iras is a different society from stormwind. Moknathal don't have that, they are literally, just a clan of orcs that have some half-breeds, again, they are not a race on their own, moknathal is a clan of orcs that have orcs, ogres and some moknathal on their ranks. The clan is also, almost extinct, with few in numbers, and even the few had few ogre blood, so the ones would look more like normal orcs than rexxar and he was like 1/4 ogre or something. They also have no reason to abandon their place in outlands, as they never wanted.

Ogre new model could just use the same kul'tiran skeleton, or they could just edit rexar model.

Ogres are canonically, smaller in average than tauren(ogres at 8ft and taurens and zandalari at 10ft) they would be fine.
