Blizzard also never implements races people want, at best some variation on them like Void Elves instead of High Elves, Kul'tirans instead of Vrykul and Dracthyr instead of Drakonids/other existing dragonkin. Races like Ethereal, Ogres, Naga, Sethrak etc. are likely never going to happen.
So two unheard of OC races being playable seems par for the course.
if voyage to avaloren is real im preordering just cause I wanna be a vrykul, taunka, or ogre thing. sounds cool
Uh people haven’t asked for Earthen over Vrykul. Which is my point; If you’re going to make Vrykul playable anyway, why would you make them an allied race and not a race you get with purchase? I’m sure alliance players would prefer Vrykul over Algari.
Also if we’re all visiting Khaz Algar, how would the Algari be an alliance race? That would mean the entire city is hostile towards the horde.
Waaaaaaay back then, Metzen publicly stated wanting Goblin, Ogres and Naga to one day be playable.
We now have him back, and Goblins are already in. Here's some meaningless hopium for playable Naga.
(pls don't @ me about how impossible it is because of jumping or mounting animation, that's a boring, overdone discussion and I already know the arguments)
