Did they change San'layn much, or did they just redo the alterations from base Blood Elf, this time based on the new player models? Troggs are enemies, the same counts for the majority of Ogres and Sethrak. You wouldn't assume updated models for Demons in Legion and Faceless Ones in BfA meant they'll become playable.
But Vulpera are allies of the Zandalari/Horde, at least against the Sethrak threat, and trade partners beyond that.
And unlike the other races mentioned, although you can dismiss that as a secondary effect of the above sentence - they have two genders. From the top of my head, I can think of no non-playable race that had two genders - except Goblins, and those became playable.
But your duty to Azeroth is not yet complete. More is demanded of you... a price the living cannot pay.
Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.
Only argument I always have seen was, that Vulpera are too fresh and unique for being an AR, but than if you say that KT are technically also completly fresh and new, just because they base on Humans, this doen't turn the facts wrong. so I don't know why this is such a popular arguement.
The thing with adding new npc races (like vulpera, or Sethrak) only because they look cute/cool and new is risky. If they kept adding races like that, faction identity would take a hit, and they'd have to give those new races some representation with characters and story from that point onwards, which they already struggle to do with some classic races. Subraces like the ones we have now don't have that problem as they can just be paired with their respective "original" race, and they don't look out of place in the faction (with the exception of Nightborne imo, but BEs still look weird in the horde for me).
In a year or two no one will remember vulpera if they aren't added as an AR.
And? I don't give three shits over the waiting, we can play them now and the waiting was worth the while I like my KT Druid. Also who knows if Vulpera are an expectation?
They didn't plan to add Kul Tirans initially, but I don't remember them saying, that a new Rig or the special looks were an exception.
I think people put too much emphasis on this while Blizzard clearly doesn't. For instance the Highmountain are barely being utilized within the Horde other than the opening moments of BFA.
As said, Blizzard already struggles with repping characters and stories of classic races. I'm not sure where people get this idea that they're going to also try and continuing to rep the other races.
They're going to make it look like they do within BFA because it's the "faction vs faction expansion" but like I said Highmountain for instance have a mere cameo and that's pretty much it. While some of the other AR have had a bit more rep such as Nightborne and Void Elf, I don't expect this to be a thing that continues in the expansions going forward.
Just another silly thought and conspiracy theory. Slowly I grow the feeling that there could be more behind the decision of including KT.
It's low on proofs, but once Dataminers found Siege of Dazar'alor plus a Map called something like Mechagnome Isle, really small, maybe we have to compare the basic outline with Mechagon, but I think that the Devs maybe had somewhere near release a big problem or time struggle in which they couldn't finish Mechagon for 8.1 and Mechagnomes and Vulpera for 8.1.5. Draenor Orcs were easy to including from WoD so they could also have come at a later point.
Wouldn't sell it as something to take serious, but I have the feeling something like this happened in Development.
Which is the point and why I find it weird when people talk about Allied Races after their release and go "they'll get more lore/representation just wait!"
People must have forgotten that Blizzard said we learn the stories of Allied Races leading up to and culminating with their recruitment. Anything extra has just been small tidbits.
Exceptions are made though for certain races, like Void Elves because they barely got much lore in the first place.
But we're not going to see anything amazing or added depth coming of Kul'Tirans, Nightborne, Zandalari, Highmountain, Lightforged Draenei, Dark Iron, Mag'har past this expansion. All their stories have pretty much been explored already.
As for the Mag'har I would just guess there maybe will be an conclusion of the fleeing Saberon and Botani plus the Yrel stuff, but yeah besides that I think they are done.
I could see the Saberon/Botani stuff sometime down the line, but I really really doubt we're ever going to deal with the Overlord Yrel/Light Garrosh stuff. There's so much going on our own timeline enough already than to have to start occasionally going between two timelines.
A plot element could just extract Overlord Yrel/Light Garrosh into our timeline. It’s by far one of my more favorite plot threads introduced in BFA, not to mention it further built on the idea of the Light being an enemy force from the 7.3 X’era story.
And Blizzard always has the card of corrupt Bronze Dragons or the Infinites.
The Yrel plotline...just no no thanks. I think Dragons might be relevant and no not Deathwing relevant but still relavant.
