As of this writing, World of Warcraft has 24 playable races for players to choose from. These races are split down the middle, 12 siding with the Horde and 12 with the Alliance. Every other expansion pack has added new races to the game; The Burning Crusade added blood elves and draenei, Cataclysm added goblins and worgen, and Mists of Pandariaadded pandaren for both sides.

Instead of being full-fledged new races with models and starting zones, these allied races are built off of pre-existing models in the game. The vulpera are built on goblins, nightborne and void elves are on night elves and blood elves, lightforged draenei are glittery draenei; the list goes on. While the ninth expansion will most likely add a new class to the game, Blizzard should also consider adding a new race for players to mess around with.
