ogres for the horde and vrykul for the alliance. But tuskarr and furbolg would be nice options as well.
But lets not ask too much for cerain races. Because blizz will hand it to us in way nobody wants.
a cool dragon race? Here is a twink looking dragon with a vissage form that looks like a drag queen with all the glitter.
People wanted high elves for the alliance? Well here are void elves without any proper forshadowing of them even existing and looking far worse than blood elfs.
People wanted mechagnomes like in ulduar? Well here are handicapped self mutilating diaper gnomes
People wanted the earthen as an allied race like we known them since vanilla? well here are some scuffed earthen wich have hair appearently instead of being completely made of steel or stone

Honestly we have enough races. Make all no hero classes (except DK) available to all races already.

Some of the allied races are very same-y and could have just been customizations for existing races. If they add more, I’d love to see allied races that are really different from what we already have.
Certainly, Vulpera could be seen as goblins in fursuits, but they felt different. Another dwarven race, slightly different from the dwarves we already have, doesn’t (though admittedly this makes them accessible to both factions, much like Void Elves).
Overall I think the game already has enough races, so I’d prefer more customizations, perhaps even as permanent quest rewards (not time-limited). There’s no shortage of unavailable hair/fur/skin colors, hairstyles, patterns, tattoos, facial features, etc they could add. Colors especially seem unnecessarily restricted and sparse. Even height or weight sliders would be good as many of us just look like clones.
Tuskarr
they are the only race that make total sense and would need nothing more then a very basic questline to drop into the Horde and Alliance.
just gimme Tuskarr already!!..

I would love Ogres, but as a core race, not allied.

Gnolls would go better with the Horde and make more sense. But then again we were given Void elves instead of Loyal Alliance High elves so…I quess anything is possible. Have you been to Elwynn Forest or Westfall or Redridge Mountains? Gnolls have been at odds with Stormwind/Alliance longer than Stormwind/Alliance have been with the Horde. Btw the Gnolls attacked Stormwind long time ago with a large army of Gnolls.
But hey Im all for Gnolls being playable…with the Horde ofcourse and I really liked their Rot image/theme which is very unique compared to the other playable races and look very similar to Warhammer Old Fantasy World Skaven image/theme. Also would like Ogres or alternative Mok’nathal as playable and its possible as the Mok’nathal was thinking about joining the Horde during the Orc Heritage armor quest. Amani Trolls/Ice Trolls (Beefy Trolls) But they could also just become customize option for the regular trolls.
For the Alliance Vrykul (Go Vikings, Go Vikings. Possibly we see them in The Last Titan as they have alot of History with the Titans), Saberon, Broken (Which can happen for the Broken or they could become customize for Draenai as the Broken were thinking about joining the Alliance when the Draenai welcomed in the Eredar to their ranks). Furbolg would be cool.
High elves (Silver Covenant)…but…I wonder, what they have planned for Alleria in War within and then for the elves in Midnight. Perhaps High elves won’t take up a race slot but instead becomes option between Void elves and High elves and same for Blood elves and High elves. Sharing the same race slot in Midnight. Or make High elves (Silver Covenant) playable for the Alliance and Forest trolls/Ice Trolls playable for the Horde for nostalgia in Midnight. But could also be in War within Alleria teaches her sister and the Silver covenant void powers and they become a diffrent kind of void elves (that still keeps their original forms just like a Shadow priest) than Umbric and his followers and have diffrent void effects and let Umbric and his followers become more corrupt version of void elves. I quess we will see when War within launches. (Feels so far away yet so close)

Amani trolls won’t join the Horde, they literally felt betrayed by the old Horde because the orcs got tired of trying to take Silvermoon and just left them.
Then in TBC, Blood elves (their worst enemy) joined the Horde. We also bully them in BfA (they’re killable NPCs in the troll city)
Undead version of every current race.
Undead Night Elf (so I can be undead druid), thanks.
Well the thing is the Amani Trolls joined somewhere between cata and BFA, joined the Zandalari trolls when they and the sand trolls and other jungle trolls had nowhere to go and they don’t really have have much of leadership. So basicly they will have to do as Talanji tells them to do. She joined the Horde so technically they are part of the Horde already. The Horde do have Revantusk Trolls but wouldn’t hurt that Amani trolls boost up their in numbers. And there are so few Amani trolls left and could get easily be wiped out by either the Horde or Alliance if they start messing around again. Their best chance of survival is to be part of the Horde.
And the Blood elves did accept the Darkspear trolls being part of the Horde even if the Blood elves hates trolls.
Sethrak.
For both factions.

None, after seeing what they did with ‘dracthyr’ I’d rather them work on pre-existing races.

Venthyr and San’layn.
And a vampiric caster class to go with it, too.

After the great popularity of mecha gnomes I belive it is time for mecha elfs.

Satyr, they come from might elves
Sethrak as a playable race would be super cool.
Tunnel snakes rule!
Murlocs would be cool too, but the recent addition of the toy has kinda scratched my itch for murlocs.
None. We already have too many.

I think at one point we’ll see lightforged undead, not sure what faction yet b/c Calia is both horde and alli favored.
