| − | == Worgen == |
||
| − | |||
| − | According to the [[Worgen]] page, they have "no apparent way of returning". And yet [[Velinde Starsong]] claimed that large numbers of worgen willingly aided her, even though they had their own supernatural enemy to battle on their homeworld. This surprises me, since the permanent loss of many of their forces would surely hasten the worgen civilization's defeat. In any case it would be little concern to them as to what happened to another world to which they had no connection. So this leads me to suspect a different story - slavery. |
||
| − | |||
| − | What if Velinde managed to summon them unwillingly, and then bent their minds to her control? It would explain how she was able to control them enough to use them to fight against the demons, but then they suddenly abandoned her. Perhaps she somehow lost control over them and they regained their freedom, but unable to return they wandered off into the woods, crazed and savage. |
||
| − | |||
| − | If this were true the remaining worgen back on their homeworld would not be best pleased by this. They would make every effort to discover what had happened, and would eventually manage to follow the summoned ones into Azeroth. This would explain how more continued to appear even after Velinde stopped using the Scythe of Elune. It may even be the reason for the enslaved worgen regaining their freedom. In any case, they would likely try to do something about Velinde to stop her summoning any more, and so might have killed her in secret. |
||
| − | |||
| − | We can assume something similar would happen with [[Archmage Arugal]]. A few worgen spies would materialise to investigate him, but due to his magic they would be unable to kill him without help. So they retreat into the woods, biding their time. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the meantime, we already know that the war against the Lords of the Emerald Flame is going badly. Suppose it was eventually lost and the worgen civilization destroyed. The survivors would flee to the only other world they knew of - Azeroth. Because they would know of Arugal due to the spies reports, they would try to materialise somewhere nearby so that they could prepare an assault. But because it would be difficult to get the positioning right over such a large distance, it is only natural that a portal might emerge a few miles away from where it was wanted. And a likely candidate for the destination is Gilneas, just to the south. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Since Gilneas had cut itself off from the outside world, it would be fairly easy for the worgen to overrun it, resulting in a possible starting area. Then they would wait behind the Greymane Wall until the time that the worgen playable race is introduced, building up an army. Eventually they would reveal themselves to the outside world. They would join the Horde, because they could potentially share a similar culture, and also to fight their enemies the humans and night elves. Young worgen would begin their training in Gilneas, and then move on to Silverpine Forest where they would eventually battle their mortal enemy Arugal. After he is defeated the worgen would remain with the Horde and continue the rest of the game like any other race. |

| − | :I took it as retreat from the Lords, not slavery, and the Arugal part seems completely out of the blue.--{{User:Sandwichman2448/Sig}} 22:40, 24 December 2008 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | ::The playable ones are the civilized worgen from their home planet, not the savage ones seen at the moment though they are given as a reason for the originals coming. Velinde Starsong summoned worgen with the Scythe of Elune, but she said they came of their own free will. However they actually had no choice, so some of their friends killed her. Arugal tried to do the same thing, so the worgen tried to kill him too but couldn't for various reasons. By that time the Lords had won the war, forcing all the worgen to Azeroth, and they chose Gilneas as their new home because it was close to Shadowfang Keep and there would be no Alliance to stop them while they made prepared to take on Arugal. Make sense now? {{User:Jormungand01/sig}} |

| − | ==[[Trogg]]== |
||
| − | Another suggestion, this time for a Horde race. The Horde seems to welcome savage races, and although the Trogg are described as very stupid, their brute force and hostile takeover of the Gnome homeland suggests they'd be right at home with the warlike tribes. The ones who inhabit [[Ragefire Chasm]] seem to be the only sect of the Trogg race that has any problem with the Horde, but they could easily be explained as under the influence of the Burning Blade cult in the same dungeon. |
||

| − | The Horde may accept savage races, but never something mindless. AngryBiscuit 4-2-09 |

||
| − | |||
| − | Well it is possible I suppose. It wouldn't be too difficult to concoct a story that presents a more intelligent type of Trogg. they did it with the Ogres of Orgri'la after all. A Shamanistic branch would fit in well with the Horde, ands theres plenty of spite coming from Dwarves and Gnomes towards them. They probably wouldn't be very high on the selection list though...

| − | ==Neutral factions removed earlier== |
||
| − | |||
| − | The factions in the Hinterlands from Classic WoW could be implemented. (Wildhammer Dwarves, Revantusk Trolls) The dwarves have shown ties with the Alliance, although they say they are independent (Highlighted in several quests at Aerie Peak). For a level 1-10 starting area, the shoreline west of the Wetland is perfect. As for a capitol, Grim Batol would be the ideal choice, but with Deathwing experimenting with the Twilight Dragonflight, at the time it its not viable. <small>—The preceding [[WoWWiki:Signature|unsigned]] comment was added by {{User|Syndamir}}.</small> |

| − | |||
| − | ==[[Sporeling]]== |
||
| − | Apologies if this is in the wrong spot! But what about the Sporelings? Their lore is relativly small and easy to work with with minimal to no retcon. Nothing states there wasn't more of them prior to [[Draenor]]'s destruction so there could be more on a seperate floating island/continent, perhaps under the protection of a Naru? Draenor was said to be a huge planet, surely the few zones we have now can't be the only surviving ones, there could be more out there. Admittedly the chances of a return to Outland is slim, let alone player races that start off world of Azeroth. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A plus side though is they could easily slot into either Horde or Alliance. Personally I'd rather see them with the Horde but they have the potential for either. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Their buildings are unique, could easily fit into Shaman and Priest classes (priestly type seen sometimes healing the troops at a Auchindoun instance entrance.) If a Naru was involved somehow they could possibly have Paladins as well. They already have a racial trait, Sporeskin. Their taxi mounts could be giant [[sporebat]]s, their ground mounts could be smaller versions of [[spore walker]]s. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Overall they have the potential I believe and could be added to the list of possible future races. |

Here's my list of mounts I find suitable for good reasons: |

||
| − | *Furbolg: Beetle (found underground in Barrow Deeps) |
||
| − | *Arakkoa: Basilisk (from Terokkar Forest) |

| − | *Gnolls: Crocolisk (from Wetlands) |

Obviously they cannot really ride a mount, and plainstriding stops you collecting mounts, so: They have a group of mounts to do with them (such as the humans have horses, orcs have wolves and so on) only instead of riding them, they either turn into them completely, or just their lower half, make them some sort of, morph-a-taur.
