Yes, but Pandaren are NOT going to happen. As was stated in the other thread, they are strictly neutral, were created as a joke by Samwise, and will absolutely not be implemented in WoW. Neither will "murlocks" (I assume you mean Naga?). Goblins, that's slightly more plausible, but still pretty unlikely. As I also stated in the OTHER thread, Blizzard is having a hard enough time balancing the races/classes as it is, they don't need to throw in any more.

DREADLORD RACE!!!!:infl_thumbs_up:
only problem with that is is that dreadlords are on neither horde or alliance

other than that id like pandarens
 
Yes I agree with hotlips definatley the naga and the High Elves

FOR THE QUEL"DOREI and the resurection of the Highborne.

*in a gurgley voice* For Nazjatar and death to the surface world.

1.Naga hate both factions.

2.BE are basically HE but kinda different, so no point adding High elves if they are to fight their blood elf bretheren.

I see your point with the naga.

But most High elves have severed ties with the blood elves even so far as they wont where red. And the high elves are already executing plans on reviving their lost civalization like searching for sights in Kalimdor. And the blood elves have needed parts for the recreation of the sunwell that Kael wont give up so thats a pretty good reason to fight if the sunwell is the cradle and the heart of your high elven kingdom.

They are more intelligent than they seem, but they are still evil ganking bastards. As said in the wiki, some players aren't much better.

You're kidding, right? I won't even bother to comment this one.

No.
  • They have a tail and no legs. Additionally, females have 4 arms;
  • Somewhat close to the Old Gods;
  • While males are the warriors, females are the casters, it wouldn't give you a complete option of choice.

High Elves
Most unlikely. They are not enough to be called an actual race. Arthas killed 90% of them, and 7% of the remaining are Blood Elves. That leaves you with 3%. Also, High Elves are not allied with Blood Elves, as far as I know.

Half dragons, Dragons that walk on 2 feet ^^ or lizzard men with dragon heads... And murlocs are not evil!!! They are highly intelligent, and are just trying the same as all the other races did, conquer land, so Murlocs are not evil or every race is evil... And they rule ^^ I would place them into a new faction, together with uuuhm.... let me think this out ^^ I'll come with something I assure you!

Naga or Goblins I say! Gnomes r straight up! he Gobs could be on the horde and be the Gnomes' enemies! The Naga r cool too... problem being they'd probably join the Horde unless Illidan could convince them otherwise.... Maybe we can give the Alliance Pandarens. They're a bunch-a drunken morons! =P No, but seriously what TYPE of Pandarens the Inteligent ones or those retarted creep ones?

Both of which don't exist in Warcraft. Also, half dragons don't exist in Warcraft either. Dragons are not of the order Mamalia, and therefore cannot crossbreed with humans. If a dragon in human form bred with a human, you'd get, GASP, a human, because that's how polymorph spells work. A powerful human, due to the inate magic of a dragon, but a generic human all the same

And murlocs are not evil!!! They are highly intelligent, and are just trying the same as all the other races did, conquer land, so Murlocs are not evil or every race is evil... And they rule ^^ I would place them into a new faction, together with uuuhm.... let me think this out ^^ I'll come with something I assure you!

They're somewhat intelegent, however are very barbaric and primitive. There's only ONE tribe that is somewhat friendly, and it's in Northrend. They won't get a new faction, if they're added they'll be with another one, probably Horde

They're not trying to conquer the land, they're being forced out of the ocean

If the faceless ones came in then there should come another race from the outlands. And I don't want the murlocs to join a faction, I want a new faction... Hmm Murlocs, Naga's, and some other sea creatures (if any) and I know a way for naga's to wear shoes^^ just like the taurens but instead of 2 just one around the tail. And the developers could make female naga's without 4 arms...

Goblins are neutrall too, gnomes were not in Warcraft neighter, I didn't mean the Drakonid ^^

Goblins have a large system. We only deal with two of the several Goblin cartels, and of them we absolutely slaughter the Venture Co. and help out the Steamwheedle Cartel

Gnomes were in Warcraft 2

Draknoids are effing MASSIVE

This is Warcraft, not DnD. Half dragons do not exist in Warcraft, mainly because polymorph spells do not work that way

The closest things to "half dragons" or any other sort of dragonkin in WoW are Dragonspawn. Which have four legs, and are therefore unable to be playable because it's very hard to be able to mount

Oh, and Faceless are primal savage monstrosities from the darkest depths. They don't have a culture, they don't have a reason to ally with either side, they won't be playable
 
We can't say if a race will never being playable because they don't have reason to join both faction.Who expected to see draenei being playable in the alliance?Who didn't thought that were were actually the lost one?
And Blood elve in the horde?Nobody expected that either because their cousin high elf were affiliate to the alliance.And the alliance is not responsible of their decline.So why join the horde?

And actually if you think like that there no one race that can be added to one of the faction because none have interest.

Anyway i think blizz devs will find new pretext to make a race join alliance or horde.

Naga hate both side but hate alliance more.And even blizz dev can create a new clan of naga that didn't hate horde if they want.But i got a point there are too many difference between male and female to be a properly playable race.

Murloc are sure more intelligent that they may look because they look stupid but that doesn't mean they are as intelligent as other playable race.

15% of the people on the WoW forums were hoping for the Lost Ones as a race. 50% were hoping for the neutral Pandaren, 10% were hoping for the WHAT THE BLOODY HELL Worgen, the rest hoping for anything BUT those three

And Blood elve in the horde?Nobody expected that either because their cousin high elf were affiliate to the alliance.And the alliance is not responsible of their decline.So why join the horde?

You'd be surprised how many people called that one months before

Naga hate both side but hate alliance more.And even blizz dev can create a new clan of naga that didn't hate horde if they want.But i got a point there are too many difference between male and female to be a properly playable race.

Don't forget the technical aspects, due to their complete and utter lack of legs

Murloc are sure more intelligent that they may look because they look stupid but that doesn't mean they are as intelligent as other playable race.

Murlocs are actually a plausible playable race, believe it or not. There are some tribes which are setting up trade agreements with other races in the area, as opposed to killing them, and learning their languages. They're generally in Northrend though

You're really expecting to see the Faceless Ones? I doubt you can do that, because, in addition to what Mecheon said, the faceless ones do not seem to have a language. And they don't have a reason to join either side.

And it seems that Chris Metzen had forgotten to develop the lore of the Draenei, he forgot to tell about the Eredar's story or something like that.

But hey Mecheon, perhaps Furbolgs could get in this time? You had a lot of hopes for them last expansion, and I do not see a reason why shouldn't they join the Alliance at last. They are not exactly humanoid, it would be weird to see those bears running to your character, but the Hyjal zone is unused and that could be their starting location, since there were 2 tribes of Furbolgs in the last mission of the RoC Night Elf Campaign.

I always see Furbolgs as more beast than human, their intelligence and lack of playing a major part in the story (aside from getting owned in melee maps everywhere) makes me suspicious that they would get added.

Check the ones in the Draenei area, they're pretty smart, albiet they can't speak common

murlocs are new race where we are getting northrednd. end of story :)

Personally I've been thinking that they'd be a race for a South Seas expansion or something

But they probably will be a race, they're fan favourites

Just because Murlocs are fan favourites, then does that mean we'll finally get the Wisp and Pandaren races as promised, because they're all fan favourites too?

Wisps were Aprils fools jokes

SO HELP ME IF I EVER SEE THAT BLASTED "Lol the new Alliance race are wisps in the form of Ereder YEAH LOLZ" I WILL INJURE PAINFULLY

Pandarens are, admitably, fan favourites. But Murlocs are the ones who get items relating to them given out at every Blizzcon

Murlocs also get owned in melee maps everywhere. Besides, they're pretty much weaker than the Furbolgs.

Murloc will never be a playable race.Maybe it will be a new race that is ascendant of murloc like an uncorrupted murloc who look more humanoid and have another name but it will never be the Murlocs you know.I can swear it.
Could be true. We've seen the Draenei, the Lost Ones and the Broken types. Since Mur'guls have a conection with Murlocs (if my memory serves), Blizzard could throw something out of this.

Murlocs aren't corrupted... Murlocs might be weaker, but they can swim very good... and they could make murlocs a bid stronger couln't they? What I believe (and this is not based on facts) is that mur'guls are especialy warriors, the murlocs aren't the mur'gul difference in appearence is just a piece of bone on it's head and some other paintings on the skin and eye collor.

Mur'gul

These humanoids have a thick, warty skin, webbed extremities ending in claws, and bulbous eyes that have a feral gleam. A row of needle-sharp teeth poke from their frog-like mouth and spines cover their backs. These creatures were once murlocs, but were mutated by the Sundering. The Mur’Gul delight in capturing both humans and murloc, torturing and then eating their victims. They infest the sea, clambering aboard vessels and slaying everyone onboard.

Mur’Gul are distinct from mutant murlocs, having originated earlier and being significantly stronger. These beings form small groups, often but not always related. Such gangs steal from one another, and Mur’Gul will try to raid nests of rivals for eggs to eat. Mur’Gul organize in a rather spontaneous way, primarily to raid murlocs or humans. If these raids go poorly, the Mur’Gul may very well turn on one another.

Mur’Gul wander, and many do not even have a fixed territory; lairs are temporary affairs, used to hold prisoners or for mating. They only keep equipment they can either use or carry easily, though a temporary lair may have treasures from past victims. These savage creatures fear only one race: Queen Azshara's Naga of Nazjatar. Despite their own vicious nature, Mur’Gul are superstitious and fear the magical power of the Naga, who have enslaved numbers of Mur'guls and use them as cannon fodder and labor force.

Mur'gul = Mutated Murloc / Evil



Faceless and the Forgotten Ones should and probably would never be a playable race. They have no mind whatsoever, all they are are mutated fragments of an old god (Note the C'thun look-a-like that was in the Undead Wc3 Campaign, the one you fought with Arthas)

Yes, I was right, the Mur'guls are mutated Murlocs. If Mur'guls steal from both Humans and Murlocs, it could mean that the two races have a common enemy, one more reason for them to ally. I still recall that the Furbolgs have strong conections to the Alliance.

A new faction? That means they would have to come up with 5 races.

Corrupted Murlocs are the ones affected by the demon bile, you find those in the Felwood tileset. Mur'guls are mutated Murlocs in the Sundering, as Johnson quoted, and they have nothing to do with the corrupted Murlocs.

Lets see... 5 new races: Murloc, Neburian (alltrough they have more legs and it doesnt make much sence but blizzard is the god in Azeroth so why not), Fulborg's, Tuskarr And the halfdragons

4 new capital cities: Neburian zigurat, Murloc underwater city, a joint city of Fulborg and Tuskarr, and a mountain peak halfdragon city.

8 new zones: Northrend.

14 new towns: lets see 14:5= 2 per race and then a couple of neutrall towns.

And there you have it ^^ my list to your question.
