Corpsebride of Nordrassil made a suggestion that Naga should be a playable race in World of Warcraft. She gives a list of reasons why Nagas should be a playable race such as: they're highly intelligent with their own language; they have a unique architectural style; they have permanent underwater breathing as a built-in racial ability. The author pointed out that Naga would fit in better with the
I would make Goblins a playable Horde race if I were in charge of recruiting playable NPC races from the existing environment. The Horde needs an annoying little race to balance out gnomes. While they're neutral, goblins already have an inhuman look to them that tends to be characteristic of the Horde. They might have racial traits that help them to get better deals on goods from vendors, perhaps even if they were not skilled in engineering, they might be able to use player-made bombs such as the Exploding Sheep. I would have Goblins play Warlocks, Mages, Hunters, and Rogues.
If you could play any race in the game, what would it be?

Will never happen, you can forget about pandas.
US subscriptions - 2.5 Mil
Eur - 2.5
Asia - 5.5
I've heard China won't allow Pandas to be killed in games. I worked on Civilization 2-4 and they made us take China out of their version of the game because "China could lose".....
No Pandas for us. :(

Hey. People on the horde side Anywhere in the world kill humans. Am I going out and killing them? No.

They changed the Undead for China so they have no visible bones. I'm sure it'll be far easier to just flip a toggle in the game programming from "Allow Pandaren=1" to "Allow Pandaren=0".

*Signed* Give us Pandas!
Has anyone else noticed that Goblins and Pandarens were the two most requested races? C'mon Blizz, start listenin'!

For the allys I think they should get a new bear-type race, not panderans. They could come in different colors and have specialized insignia on their belly that represents their duty and personality.
This insignia would be known as their "tummy symbol".

NOOOOoooo....
No Pandarens, please. It would be like dropping thousands of Jar-Jar Binkses into every WoW server :-P

Yeeeeah, naga as a playable race... *snicker*
If I could pick any race, it'd be dryad. If I had to limit myself to bipeds, high elves!

high-elves = blood-elves
from wowwiki.com high-elf:
"The high elves were once a significant force on the continent, but in recent times [...] another 90% of the survivors changed their name to "blood elves" in remembrance of their fallen brethren"
other than that, I see Goblin as the most logical choice, perhaps the Broken for alliance?

I predict tuskar, Probably as an alliance equivalent to Tauren, and becaus ethings need to be balanced, goblins to horde.

TUSKAR has already been proven to be a horde ally NPC lol

Not true, they're neutral in a primarily horde area.

Nathrezim, also known as the dreadlords, they're just so BA.
As for racials:
Shadow Resistance
No fall Damage
Melee Vampiric absorption
And a short sleep CC.

the dreadlord would be part of the scourge BUT maybe the game should add a whole NEW FACTION like the scourge they would get to be the spiders, Dreadlords, skeleton thingys lol and maybe some Cultistkinda humans OH and a ghoulish class with a racail towards STEALTH!
