EXPANSION PACK PIRATES YARGH!
« on: February 19, 2006, 08:04:36 PM »
HALO. Just wondering how many of you were were going to buy the expansion pack? . I might get it, i might not, it all depends. The thing is the expansion pack in itself is bound to be pretty rubbish, everything will be stupidly overpowered or horribly weak, so until 6 months after it comes out, i dont see any point in buying it.   but there you go, just my opinion. Blood elves? Psh. Gimme some goblins... bloody elves..

this is wat i have found out on the possibilites of the alliance race:

http://forums-en.wow-europe.com/thread.asp...ral-en&t=883462

1.3 About the expansion (Alliance):

1.3.1Q What do we know about the new "alliance"?
1.3.1A It would make sense, but would make you go 'huh?'. They would be a "ugly" race. They are also already ingame and/or in the lore. Its also known that they resemble the Forsaken (lore-wise)
1.3.1S http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/world-of-warcraft...6p2.htmlDraenei


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Warc...n_Alliance_race
 
It is unknown what new race the Alliance will receive. There have been several rumors about the races most players consider to be the strongest candidates.

Races considered to be the most likely candidates include:

Draenei
Furbolgs
Pandaren
Quillboar
Worgen
Dark Trolls

The Draenei are considered by most to be the strongest candidate. The Draenei would be an "ugly" Alliance race to counter the "pretty" Horde race of the Blood Elves. The Draenei also have an intense hatred of Orcs, as the Orcs nearly decimated the Draenei population on the Draenei homeworld of Draenor. While some Blood Elves on Draenor are allied with Draenei, they are also allied with Illidan and his demon masters. It was demon driven Orcs who slaughtered the Draenei and it is unlikely they would stay allied with demon driven Blood Elves. They would also not remain allied to Blood Elves on Azeroth once they joined sides with the Draenei's hated Orc enemies.

The Furblogs are generally seen as the second most likely. While most Furblogs have been corrupted in World of Warcraft and turned feral, there are several strong factors on their favor. The Furblog race is in great need of a graphical overhaul, with one basic model used for hundreds of Furblogs in the world. The Furblogs could start in the currently unused zone of Hyjal, which would keep the Horde to Alliance starting area ratio the same on each continent.

The Pandaren are considered outsiders in World of Warcraft, an enigmatic race that generally avoids the conflicts of the world. However, the Pandaren were used as an April Fool's joke as the fourth race for Warcraft III, and have always existed in the background for potential inclusion in World of Warcraft.

The Quillboars are looking for revenge on most of the Horde's races. The Tauren and the Quillboar have been at war for years; Taurens have raided many Quillboar villages and massacred their people. The Orcs wiped the Quillboar off their homeland Durotar like meat. The Scourge has recently corrupted a group of Quillboar in the Razorfen Downs and Razorfen Kraul, and is trying to corrupt the rest. The Quillboar want revenge on all these races, andthey look to the Alliance for aid. The Quillboar's god, Agamaggan, helped the Night Elves in the War of the Ancients. The demi-god sacrificed itself in order to save the Night Elves, as well as the world. The Night Elves, along with the other races of the Alliance, owe a great debt of gratitude to them. After all, Quillboars are the product of Agamaggan.

The Worgen are considered to be an unlikely race, however a rumor (later revealed by its author to be fan fiction) has started some debate that a group of renegade Worgen could join the Alliance. While all Worgen in-game are currently inherently evil, a renegade faction would make an interesting addition to the Alliance. Also, many Worgen are found around the zone of Gilneas, which is currently an unused zone in-game. This is considered by many to be a likely starting zone if the Worgen were included.

There has been recent speculation that the Dark Trolls are a possible candidate for the new Alliance race. The Horde recieved Blood Elves, a race very similar in appearance and origin to the Night Elves of the Alliance. The Dark Trolls would be a race very similar in appearance and origin to the current playable Trolls for the Horde. The Dark Trolls inhabit Hyjal, a currently unused zone. Several Dark Trolls fought alongside the Night Elves in the Battle of Mount Hyjal. Also, there is a Dark Troll village in the far north of Darkshore. Though currenty inaccessible, it is visible to Night Elf druids who can use the druid-only flightpath from Moonglade to Teldrassil. Should the Dark Trolls become the new Alliance race, this village is already well placed to become an Alliance-friendly Dark Troll town.

Many other races have been debated but are generally not considered possible candidates. The Ogres are seen as far too large as well as traditional allies with the Horde. (There is a Horde-friendly Ogre town in Dustwallow Marsh). Goblins are currently a neutral race in World of Warcraft and have four large trading cities. There would be too many problems with Warcraft lore (the Goblins are neutral, trading equally to both sides) as well as difficulties with switching four large cities from neutral to the Alliance. Centaurs traditinally hate Tauren, but are also hostile to all races. This (and the technical difficulty arising from the fact that Centaur have four legs, how could they ride gryphons?) makes them improbable.

im hopin for the Pandaren though
