On the official World of Warcraft: Forever forums at the end of September, discussions appeared about a possible new race — some players think murlocs would fit well into both the Alliance and the Horde.

On the American and European Blizzard forums, two threads about a hypothetical new race for Forever opened on the same day. In the thread on the American Blizzard forum, a player suggests making murlocs playable for both the Horde and the Alliance — they link videos with starting zones and stress that the idea is specifically about settling murlocs into both factions.

On the European Blizzard forum, a parallel discussion appeared about what exactly draws players to a hypothetical new race compared to the options that already exist.

For now this is just background, not a sign of changes to come: players are speculating about what a new race could look like and trying to figure out why it would be needed. If Blizzard does decide to add a new race in one of the upcoming content patches, the forum discussions could come in handy as material for feedback.
