So long as we don't get a Drustvar druid form pets situation again i think i will be able to live with it. Still cannot truly forgive the devs adding a specific line from the Kul Tiran druid trainer talking about taming the animals there, and then not allowing us to. Even when they are clearly not druids who are shapeshifted.

That's probably because of the late decision to differentiate the Thornspeaker and the Drust stuff aesthetically.
See: the balance form not being the "cool wicker thing i wanted wahhh" because wicker =/= Thornspeaker. The original idea was probably just "lol scary bone monsters in the forest" and then they made lore about it.
Muffins is such a troll. I think the activity from him is a sign that they are at least TRYING to get datamining up today.
That does bring up quite the interesting conondrum.
You obviously cannot have everything be undead, or the variety would be lacking, hunters not being able to tame stuff or similar.
But you also cannot simply have a regular showing of creature types, or this death themed expansion would have nothing bu humanoids, instead of undead for the DKs to mind control.
My guess would be that entities from the Maw will be classifeid as undead, while the rest are humanoids.

That is what gives me hope. Get it up and running as soon as possible (which means in a datamineable state) and then have plenty of time to open it up to players.

Funnily, I had the exact same train of thought. The actually bony or spooky looking stuff will probably be undead.
Random note: Ion's tweet about the article confirmed that the alpha had been delayed prior to now (and incidentally, the the blog post was originally going to be one of his video speeches like the patch reveals we've had for BfA) so I guess this potentially gives credence to influencers giving dates and then backtracking.

Almost forgot. Wonder if we will get more Bolvar stuff in this first Alpha build. I believe we have already seen his in-game model, but i assume he will have some voicelines which migh be interesting.

Why not a new model for his daughter too ...
