Your generic "ZOMG WHUT R TEH ALLINCE RACE GONNA B?&quo
Welcome
Now, here's what is standing with the Blizzard WoW's forums most popular
They seem to think Draenei, Pandaren or Worgen
I have reasons that none of them are true
Draenei: I have written entire topics just on this. They have no connections with the Alliance other than "LOLZ, WE H8 ORCZ". They're shamanistic, quite the opposite of the Alliance's lifestyle. They are mostly on Draenor, which isn't open yet and will be opened in the expansion. The few who are on Azeroth are either mopey or they're insane, and Caydiem's saying that "ZOMG TEHY LOOKED DIFFERENT" is uncomfirmed
Pandaren: Neutral. That is ALL I need to say. I could go into depths on why they can't be it, but I'll stick with neutral. Goblins aren't in the Alliance because they're neutral, so neither will Pandaren. That, and Metzen said they're not the race
Worgen: No lore support them joining. That, and every single topic about them says they're in Gilenas. Erm, Gilenas is closed off to prevent the Scourge from sweeping inside. Its not closed off because they all turned into worgen or whatever the topic says
Now, onto viable things
Furbolgs. You want to know why furbolgs? Because they have an entire underground complex they can use for a few starting zones. The entrance is in North Azshara if you've never seen it, and its called Timbermaw Keep. Very human in construction. Hmmm, why would furbolgs be using a human construction unless, GASP, they were allied to the humans! Oh, and they're buddy-buddy with the Night Elves
Yeah, that's the only viable thing I can think of
Oh well, post your theories and I shall rip them to pieces just by relying on the lore

B.net user are morons.
MecheonDraenei: I have written entire topics just on this. They have no connections with the Alliance other than "LOLZ, WE H8 ORCZ". They're shamanistic
So are certain Dwarves, but you can play a Dwarf.
MecheonThey are mostly on Draenor, which isn't open yet and will be opened in the expansion.
Most on Draenor were killed. Small groups exist on Azeroth. The Blood Elves were mostly on Draenor too, but, SHOCK HORROR, Blizzard furthered the timeline and wrote new material!
MecheonPandaren: Neutral. That is ALL I need to say. I could go into depths on why they can't be it, but I'll stick with neutral. Goblins aren't in the Alliance because they're neutral, so neither will Pandaren. That, and Metzen said they're not the race
Pandaren are shamanistic, so by your logic they are ZOMG DEFFO HORDE RACE.
MecheonWorgen: No lore support them joining. That, and every single topic about them says they're in Gilenas. Erm, Gilenas is closed off to prevent the Scourge from sweeping inside. Its not closed off because they all turned into worgen or whatever the topic says
Noobs were just swayed by some faker's creative writing. Worgen are as likely as Succubi as the next race.
MecheonFurbolgs. You want to know why furbolgs? Because they have an entire underground complex they can use for a few starting zones.

They are my favourite, but the whole 'from Outland' balance would'nt fit - if its even something they want to balance.
2 Druidic races? Is that fair?
Plus the models are pretty damn ugly and will be funny to behold wearing armour and weapons. They'd be fake Pandarens.
My guess? Why not a completely new race? There's a whole universe out there. People are just assuming things like 'Pretty race/ugly race, giant race/small race'. I really don't think that's a viable thing to consider. Give 'em Gnolls or Ogres.

There are differences between the three types of dwarves. The Wildhammer, the shaman ones, aren't playable. Only the Ironforge ones are. You can't play as Darkiron ones either

Small groups. Very small groups. Small groups in a swamp being angsty and stuff. And the Blood Elves were from Azeroth to begin with, which at least manages to ignore the "WTF"ness of the situation

Yeah, there's something about that as well, but they're more of geomancers rather than shamans. But really, I just enjoy shooting down that theory quickly

Yeah, Caydiem says a lot of things

Probably not

Pandarens are fake and short Furbolgs according to what I've read

So, why not have all the non-shamen Draeni as playable
Lol here is a good reason to ask WHY THE HELL??? Why will Blood Elfs be part of the Horde!???Still confuses me.Btw i Desperatly want Blizzard to put draenai....they are just so mystic and cool race to play ^_^
I'm not going to post anything that's just going to tell the Alliance's race. Everyone knows Blizzard will put some dumbass twist like the Blood Elves.
"Draenei: I have written entire topics just on this. They have no connections with the Alliance other than "LOLZ, WE H8 ORCZ". They're shamanistic, quite the opposite of the Alliance's lifestyle.

Those are some hefty reasons for the alliance not to let the Draenei join, but they'd make excelent assassins since their shadowmeld is far better than the Night Elves' and they're also exploitable due to their miserable situation. Ever since the cancelled LotC-game Blizzard has tried to make the Alliance less goody-two-shoes and more neutral, so it would make sense for them to take advantage of the Draenei or some other weak race they'd have at their mercy.

That's why the Night Elves joined the Alliance.
They're shamanistic, quite the opposite of the Alliance's lifestyle.
Proof/source/link of them being shamanistic?

They're not all insane, I'd say there's enough of them to be a playable race if they made one tribe of trolls and some gnomish refugees playable races, especially when there's more High Elves than Gnomes. Looks aren't really an important factor when thinking if they could be a playable race or not.
I've always thought of furbolgs as druidic, mainly because of the visuals. It's usually feathers & beads = druids and hides & fangs/claws = shamans. There was also a rather convincing article at http://www.wowwiki.com/Rumored_Races on why a tribe of Ogres might be the next race.
