To better reflect race distribution and total population in the lore.
Each realm could only have a certain % of each race, and once that number is met or exceeded, new players can no longer create new characters of this race.
They can’t purchase race changes to that race either. However, the races that are underrepresented would benefit from 50% off.
These changes will help put the “RPG” back in “MMORPG”.
This is one of the worst ideas regarding wow that I’ve ever read.
Sometimes, freedom must be taken away from individuals for the greater good.
Just like how we would benefit from a global ban on alcohol, tobacco, coffee and other drugs.
Many would complain and suffer - the millions, if not billions who are already addicted.
But it would be beneficial to mankind in the long run.
The same logic applies here.
Why though ? Here is an idea, you can play the unpopular race and create a background story of how the evil attacked your village and you went all extinct.
Nah.
The quotas for night elves should be 5 per realm then.
ironic that a nighelf is wanting a quota when you’d be the lowest % at this current time in the lore.
It doesn’t matter.
Already existing characters wouldn’t be deleted.
The restriction would only apply to newly create characters.
Over time, proper distribution would be reached.
Didn’t they get rid of you in 45?
I already didn’t like you due to the topic title but you also want to take away three of my four major food groups? You are just evil and must be stopped!!
As I said. Addiction.
Every now and then, we invite a couple of friends for diner. I swear it’s pathetic how they can’t go through the evening without asking if it’s okay for them to go for a smoke break.
They can’t help themselves. A few hours without nicotine is too much for them.
Honestly, it’s just sad. I feel sorry for them. I want to rid future generations of this curse.
Ok judgy mcjudgyface 
I want a better future for everyone.
My intentions are commendable.
Yes it should.
So why not remove WoW all together - lots of players addicted to WoW.
Would also be nice with IQ restrictions for these forums.
According to available data, your suggestion is basically racism.
Ok Grindewald …
So you want to take away peoples choices on race, so the races are represented in a way that fits your prefered style or w/e … ?
Nope, can’t support that… If you want a special RP realm that works like this, fine… But not on the regular realms.
Not my preferred style. The lore.
So have more NPC’s added to fill the under represented … 0 impact on gameplay and does that same thing.
And if Lore is that important… you should be sitting in the streets of stormwind, begging for food since you have no home …
No, just no. If races aren’t played instead of making people stop playing the things they like why not make the unloved races have more reasons to be played while also giving love to the loved ones as well. Like please D: If a game told me I can only play an undead (for example)because yes I’d just uninstall. And i’m sure others would too
Oh dear lord no. Never.
This is such a bad idea.
