I have rather strong feelings about Worgen, and what they did to WoW. In retail WoW, Worgen never made any sense from any standpoint. It was a huge asspull, pardon my french, and the lore was completely shredded to pieces. Never mind the fact that the Gilneans abandoned the Alliance long, long ago, and the whole idea surrounding good werewolves was just silly. They are cursed monsters in Warcraft and should have stayed that way. There's also just some very weird lore regarding the Forsaken being totally rejected by Alliance when they came home as monsters, but the Alliance welcomed werewolf traitors (gilneans) with open arms due to Elune? Also, druids? I just... I better stop before I go too far hahaMac wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 1:24 pmHalf-Elf is an interesting idea but as others have pointed out it is yet another elf. If you add them, half of the Alliance races will be some kind of elf. The Elfliance.
Worgen is a good idea. The uninstanced version of Gilneas City could make a good 1-5 starting area for them. I peeped around it using Eagle Eye and it seems some of it is finished but parts were left unfinished. Porting the dungeon version into the open world should be easily doable. Seems like there’s enough space there to make it work. And it would be fun to level 1 to 5 fighting off the Worgen invasion of Gilneas only to succumb and become one, and then be forced to flee from the city and wind up in Stormwind Harbor.
But I think among the proposed Alliance races, Furbolg is the most interesting since it hasn’t been done.
And yes playable Ogres would be awesome.
Your Furbolg idea is really well written and I love the art you added to that thread! I really do think Furbolgs are perfect for Alliance, but it's a very tough sell because it would give Alliance a Shaman and new Druid race.Galendor wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 2:16 pmYou mean without shamans - because druids were in my suggestionAkos1896 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 1:50 pmHere it is:

Not my idea but I honestly think it is very well done. + it would be an alliance race without druids.
A few minor changes, I would probably have it be a splinter of the tree of Grizzlemaw hold on Northrend instead of Ursonar you created, but I love how it uses the Draenei map.
