Comment by ArktaneThe races look great :D Was hoping Nightbourne would be neutral though, since the Alliance did help them out too.Comment by jjanchanDid they mention they'll add any character slots? Because I can see that being important!Comment by Auth0rHyped for the idea of even more of these to come, and doing quests to unlock them!Comment by EiprilI really cant wait till it comes for life :D So hyped, Lightforged Draeneis is sooooo awesome *w*Comment by RebelwomanCan not wait!Comment by OixioVoid Elves models looks exactly same as BelfsComment by mortincarneVoid Elves.....

Horde, your days are numbered.Comment by ElektrophorusIt definitely makes sense that the Nightborne join the Horde because the Blood Elves share their plight. When we assault Suramar with them, it's clear that the Night Elves still show disdain toward them as well. Just look at the interactions between the elven leaders, and how Liadrin treats Thalyssra, versus Tyrande and Thalyssra.Comment by MakoosThe dark iron dwarfs look reaaallyyy awesomeComment by TutorialBloxVrykul please?Comment by BuphallusVoid Elves.....

Horde, your days are numbered.Comment by AltonisCan you update the post with the available classes please so people don't get confused? 4 of 6 races have their classes shown on the worldofwarcraft page already^^

Anyway, excited for these races. It's interesting, how limited some are though.Comment by lankybritWhat's with the HUGE! pictures?Comment by GIPlayerWowheadVoid Elves models looks exactly same as BelfsComment by AcoleskiZandalari TrollsComment by arexuI'm in love with alliance's elves. And i hope nighbornes will look better. They are too plain now :/Comment by RoaryzThese look awesome! I think they should add 1 free race change to everyone who buys the expansion, maybe instead of the char boost?Comment by ArktaneI know right? Those trolls got it good for sure.Comment by deerlingI love the new races! I'm a bit upset though because even though I play Alliance, I love Horde races! Their models seem a bit more unique.. BUT LIGHTFORGED DRAENEI!Comment by AsianBoiyAdd free race change so I dont have to switch my main!
