According to the BlizzCon announcement last year, thisâll be the patch where we get worgen and goblin model updates + heritage questlines, so that should at least be interesting.

Genuinely curious about what the Worgen Heritage questline will be tbh.

In order to better combat people feeling like alts are not viable to play, weâre now deleting all alts. Players will be prompted to pick a âmainâ character upon logging in during 8.2.5 and all their other characters are deleted.
We saw this as the best way to deal with player complaints about alt grinds.
Please send through your feedback on this upcoming change to hahaha@noonecaresareyoukiddingme.co.ru

Give. Me. My. UPDATED MODEL!!!
Best guess:
Exploring the origins of the worgen with the Scythe of Elune a bit more, or maybe a questline in the Gilneas-currently-being-rebuilt about getting back some of the items left behind.

I canât remember if Gilneas is canonically Alliance or Horde at the moment, if itâs the former it would be cool for the questline to show the retaking of Gilneas for sure.

Mission table indicated that there were some Alliance troops moving âthroughâ Gilneas.
Golden suggested that Forsaken refugees had settled there after Capital City.

inb4 itâs some hamfisted âvoid not so badâ or similar narrative that has nothing to do with the race and could easily be swapped out for literally any other race, ala the tauren questline 
âShall we address the centaur situation? Or how tauren feel about joining the Horde? Or reflect on how they got to where they are now? Like we did with the Blood Elves?â
âvOiD gUd LiGhT bAhD!â
âDoes that have to be THE tauren quest though? Maybe that could be Earthern Ring or troll shaman or-â
âtUrRen! mUsT bE tUrRen!â

The models will get delayed.

They mentioned in the Arathi Warfront announcement that part of the reason the Horde wanted Arathi was to stage a naval invasion of Gilneas. Iâll see if I canât find the presentation.
Edit: Found it - https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/screenshots/normal/673330.jpg
Context in video:
Itâs admittedly a bit of a non-committing statement, but it -seems- like theyâre toying with the idea of it being controlled again.
