Your generic "ZOMG WHUT R TEH ALLINCE RACE GONNA B?&quo

Yeah, the magazine retracted the statement, but lots of people are very selective readers

The Horde are against the arcane magic, hence why the only reason there are even Warlocks in the Horde is because Thrall doesn't want to kill them off. The Forsaken get through by barely being tolerated to begin with

As for the paladin statement, paladins are VERY different from priests. A priest channals the power that that particular creature worships. Light for the Humans, Loa for Trolls, Elune for Night Elves and so on. However, Paladins are purely Light focused. And there are two, maybe three, races that still worship the light: Humans, dwarves and, by extension, Undead. The Dwarves are recent into the Silver Hand however, and the Undead appear to have given up on it. So there are no more races that could become Paladins simply due to belief systems

they might just make a new hidden race and make their history starting with "they came from a secret island..that no one knew about,except them.."

i hope worgens would...but i dont play wow..but arnt they more of a feral race? like rather than using swords and knifes and talkin to people town, they'd rather hunt stags and disembowl travelers?

pandarans are good..but...they seems to passive.. i mean..the only reason i would think they would help orcs is either a threat on panderia or whatever its called or either for the sake of booze.

and furbolgs..they r too nature like...and NE like..no way would they go for orcs..

The Horde isn't against use of the arcane, most of them simply don't use it. If they are against the arcane then explane troll magi.

And there's five Light worshipping races that I can think of, Humans, Dwarves, High Elves, Forsaken, and Blood Elves.

The Horde are against arcane corruption. I'm not too sure about troll mages but I'm questioning their existance in the RPG. But the Horde are definantly against arcane corruption. Which is why they have shamans

And I believe that many Blood Elves "gave up" with the Light. At that, they were never allowed into the Silver Hand

And Wulf, they said they wouldn't add a new race. Worgen are nutcases and unlikely as hell. Pandaren are neutral and confirmed not to be in. Hence, I'm saying that Furbolgs will join the Alliance

The Horde may be against arcane corruption, but I don't think they are against use of the arcane, most simply choose not to wield it, or aren't sensitive to it.

And the Sin'dorei may not be members of the Silver Hand, but they still use the Light, hence the availability of the priest class.

I know the Tauren at least are VERY distrusting of anything who uses the Arcane

I'm not too sure if the Blood Elves still worship the Light though. I know a fair few of them got somewhat disenchanted with the idea after the War, simular to what happaned to many Undead

The Light isn't something you worship.

Some may have turned away from it, but others still make use of it.

Hey, Mecheon long time, no see. Anyway, I am not here to start another conflict.. ..To me, it seems that the draenei will win this contest. + Lore-based hatred of Orcs.
+ Originally from Draenor/Outland, and would fit best in The Burning Crusade Expansion. Share a goal simillar to the Blood Elves to return which fits well with expansion.
+ Rumored to have unmutated version which hasn't been seen before.
+ Draenei Rumor
+ Connection to lost Alliance expedition on Draenor is a possibility.
+ Draenei buildings exist in the same parent directory as human and orc buildings (outland directory). However, one would assume Draenei buildings would be in Outland regardless.
+ Febuary Computer Gaming (http://www.partingvisions.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=60) says directly in print: 'Alliance players will enjoy playing Draenei'. However, this was declared merely speculation by the editor.
- Stealth abilities too similar to Night Elves.
- No female Draenei have been previously seen
- Last known to be allied with Blood Elves, Naga, and Illidan.(Yeah, but there is an article around here... Cannot find it but I read something like this seeing the blood elves that succumbed in demon magic just like the orcs..)

Hi. I'll destroy your arguments now, ok?

1. Yes, they hate orcs. They used to be friends with them. Ages ago. But there are HEAPS of things that hate orcs. Not just Draenei
2. Yeah, originally from Draenor/Outland. Except they don't have a simular goal. The thing is, they're ON Draenor, and Blood Elves aren't. Blood Elves want back to Draenor, and Draenei want to stay there. Therefore, there is no way for the Draenei to join the Alliance, due to no communication
3. They said it won't be a new race. "hasn't been seen before" implies new race. Also, that was just a convient way for Caydiem to try and say that Garona is half Draenei. But Metzen doesn't agree with her.
4. Been there, delt with that
5. Maybe. Or maybe the lost Alliance group attacked them instead, thinking they were demonic hellspawn? At that, they're the LOST expedition for a reason. They have no contact with the Alliance at the moment
6. Those are Outland buildings. The Orc and Human ones there aren't normal orc or human ones. They're Second War remnants
7. Magazines said that levels called "Hidden Palace" and "Wood Zone" would be in Sonic 2, but they weren't.
8. Too simular? More like too imba
9. Neither have female ogres
10. Which they still are. They owe Illidan their lives

Ok, all the facts you said are true, but there is more information: "The draenei swore allegiance to Illidan, and for a while, they were... happy..(lol), but seeing that Illidan succumbed in madness, the blood elves delved deep in demon magic (just like the orcs), they became distant from their "allies". And the fact that they hate orcs adds to their possibility to become Alliance members... And not all Draenei are on Outland. Some are in the Swamps of Sorrows (well, almost all have been driven mad by I-don't-know-what reason, but some resisted...)

Saying that Draenei left Illidan is fanmade speculation and thusly has no holding in my mind

The number of Draenei in Azeroth is far from enough to make a race out of

MecheonThe number of Draenei in Azeroth is far from enough to make a race out of

The same way one tribe of Trolls or a decimated Gnomish population became playable races?

Entirely different

Gnomes and trolls came from Azeroth to begin with. They can make more trolls and gnomes because they can find splinter groups who left earlier. Trolls also have the advantage of being able to asorb outcasts from other tribes: I refuse to believe that the tribes in Stranglethorn don't chuck a few people out for disagreeing with the big bad troll and then leave them to be eaten by ogres/tigers/whatever else is hungry

Draenei however are mostly on Draenor. At that they were massacared before they could even get to Azeroth to begin with. While I could see the Outland Draenei being viable if the Dark Portal was open, the fact is a few small remnants of an already massacured race managed to get sucked into Azeroth. Hardly enough to make a large population out of

If numbers are a problem, Blizz could have some of Akamas people come over from Outland. While it is only unofficial speculation that the Draenei are leaving Illidan, it's possible and I daresay probable that the Draenei aren't happy with the fact that they now indirectly serve a demon lord through Illidan and are leaving him.

Also of note, Kael, Vashj, and Illidan are slated to be raid bosses on Outland, while nothing has been said of Akama, or at least I've heard nothing.

The thing is, they can't come over from Outland because the portal's closed

And I dislike the Kael being a raid boss thing. So, they dump the freaking Blood Elves on us rather than ogres or goblins, and then say they want to go to Outland to get back to Kael, and then they go and kill Kael?

Excuse me? Where is the needed sense from that?
