| - Isn't there a rumored 3rd faction being introduced with the advent of WoW II? I think they are based on the moon or some other planet. It is conceivable that pandaerans could be a sort of pet race for a higher order intelligence, or could be one of many 'neutral' races associated with the new faction, whose primary race (ala humans/orcs) could be spiritual in nature, hence above the conflict, but able to participate if necessary for maintaining the balance of neutrality.--;> 21:30, 31 October 2007 (UTC) I don't know... of the games I've played with 3 factions it always goes pear shaped. the playerbase becomes too spread out and griefers get a hayday. I would rather deal with 1/2 of the jerks on my server then 2/3rds of them. -- Aki no kaze 16:42, 30 November 2007 (UTC) Considering Blizzard has said they aren't working on WoW 2 anytime soon I would discount any rumors you here. -- 18:56, 30 November 2007 (UTC) they'll never make WoW 3 because then WoW would completely empty and during the interval they'd go bankrupt so, they're just gonna make expansion packs. Blizz ain't stupid.--Gnomez 21:10, 9 December 2007 (UTC) well i wish they use the panda but sadly they wont,why,because the pandaerans are ultra rare to see. i read some where(in wowwiki i belive) that if one persone see on in it live time he is extremy lucky.So how could a race that is rare to see be a new race is unlikely to happend The Pandaren as a race really isn't as far-fetched as that. The reason the Pandaren are rare to be seen is because they supposedly live on another continent in a reclusive oriental nation. The Draenei were in space, for crying out loud, considerably more migration than the Pandaren would have to make to get to Azeroth. Yes, they may be ultra rare, but if what Jamvaru said was true, if they came from another planet, then why not? There could be a whole organization of them hidden somewhere in azeroth aswell, eh. Maybe Northrend is the host of them. I read somewhere, and I wish I could find it again, that the creator of the Panderan has asked that they not be in WoW, or at least not widely spread. He wants them to have that ultra-rare and fresh feel. -- 19:25, 21 December 2007 (UTC) ~ The most likely new faction would probably be the races with Old God/Elemental Lords connections: Naga, Murlocs, Nerubians(?), Shadow Trolls, Centaur, Dark Iron Dwarves, etc. Maybe even a sect of Goblins. It would make sense that non-aquatic races would require a underwater suit to visit the Naga City which would require goblin enginuity thus requiring the introduction of the goblin Undercity which is just southwest of the Maelstrom. ~ --NightBeard 05:05, 27 December 2007 (UTC) I think you mean Undermine. This city is likely the main area for a future expansion pack. 04:55, 29 December 2007 (UTC) I think they considered Naga at one point, but then it came down to the problem with pants... I personally don't think it's such a big deal, considering that Tauren and Trolls don't have boot models, but Blizzard has always been picky. I'd like to see the Panderan, but if what Mucke said is true, gotta respect. Besides, they'd be Alliance anyway, probably... us Horde would be left with the short end of the stick, since the only races I'd like to see on the Horde would be Goblins and Naga. However, there's no plan for new races in any expansion, and there's no plan for a WoW2. --Shinsen 21:37, 30 December 2007 (UTC) I think adding Pandaren to the Alliance would be pretty cool. Yes, I am an Ally player, but I don't think Horde would get the short end of the stick at all; it seems like no one has said anything about Satyrs, but I think that would be a cool and also quite feasible race. The other elven factions have already been included (Blood Elf and Night Elf). In case you didn't know, Satyrs were originally elves but they delved too deeply into magic. The High Elves(now Night Elves) warned them about the magic and eventually banished them, causeing them to "show off" their power in revenge and summon the Burning Legion to Azeroth. I think Blizzard could explain their breaking off from the Burning Legion and add them to horde, as Night Elves would not accept them and the Blood Elves would. Centaurs and Naga could also be feasible, but the Centaurs have been fighting the Tauren for years and I cannot really see them joining Alliance, and I think the Naga would fit Horde better...unless they have Night Elf connections, I dunno...but that would explain why Illidan knew about them I guess. Nerubians would be aligned with Arthas, so that wouldn't work, Goblins left the Horde already because Blizzard wanted a major neutral faction, but I can see them coming back, although that would cause problems with Neutral towns like Booty Bay and Gadgetzan. I'd like Blizzard to expand to the island by the Southern tip of Kalimdor, call me crazy but I've always wanted to go there and that could very possibly be home of the Pandarens. Adding another planet could be fun, but it would't make much sense as the major war is with Arthas, who is in Azeroth, however I guess it's possible for another planet to attack Azeroth. But then it would be hard to explain someone attacking and then befriending either side. --Pandem 20:10, 5 January 2008 (UTC) -- I think that The Blood Elves were once High Elves, not Night Elves. (sorry, OCD.) Totemface 04:06, 14 March 2008 (UTC) (Apologies if I'm arriving in this conversation really late, just feel that I should state my opinion). The way I see it, "WoW 2" is just a stupid rumor started by players. We are playing in the World of Warcraft, there is no second world. "WoW 2" would be a bad thing for Blizzard to make, forcing players to level all the way from 1 again to a much higher level cap in the same zones and with the same quests, just with better graphics, would be stupid. There will be no third faction, there will be no "WoW 2." WoW is "Warcraft IV" and Blizzard won't make another Warcraft RTS, unless it's a recap of everything that happened between the Frozen Throne and World of Warcraft. So, in short, no "WoW 2," no "Warcraft IV," no third faction. Once again, sorry if I came in here really late. Zentyr 10:04, 11 January 2008 (UTC) Unless you have some new evidence no one else does, your comments on Warcraft IV are just as false. --

* 10:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC) Didn't Blizzard say somewhere that they were continuing the story through World of Warcraft? I'm afraid I don't have a source, I just remember reading it somewhere. Zentyr 10:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC) Not afaik, they've never said what they'd do past World of Warcraft. The only mention of Warcraft IV has been fans saying WoW is essentially it iirc, which makes sense sequentially. That doesn't restrict the RTS continuing with it's naming and excluding WoW from the sequence though. --

At level 20 they choose if the ywant to join alliance or horde through a quest-line. Nerox 21:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC) I see no reason to count just writing a fan fiction about one as a possibility for a third faction.-- 20:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC) How would these neutral races communicate with themselves? Horde and alliance are very specifically prevented from talking to each other. Would the race forget how to talk to others of the same race? And think of all the extra quests that'd have to be written... There's a lot of logistical problems involved in adding any sort of neutral faction, or even a third, mutually-hostile faction. It's just not going to happen. --Bobson 22:01, 14 January 2008 (UTC) I would love to play a Tuskarr, Walruses are my favorite animal. Nerubians would be fun to play also. Tuskarr would have to have Hunters. Tuskarr Shamans, Warriors and Druids would make sense to put in also. Another faction would take a lot of time to make, it would be easier on Blizzard to add more races for the Alliance and the Horde. Blizzard also announced they aren't planning on adding new races, but it's still possible. --Komash 22:39, 10 February 2008 (UTC) Panderan druid FTW, they have a human form! Aseh 02:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC) Concerning Goblins as a race, I can imagine a "third" faction, Steamweedle Cartel, as their base, being friendly to Booty Bay, Gagedzan, Everlook and Ratchet, yet being neutral to all 10 main factions (Stormwind, Ironforge, Gnomeregan Exiles, Darnassus, Exodar, Undercity, Thunderbluff, Orgrimmar, the Trolls and the Blood Elves (dunno their faction names tbh). At some point players should have the option to choose a side, or remain neutral to all (and thus abandoning all hope for PvP combat unless a suitable solution can be found for that, can't imagine though). Also, Racial Passive could be "Merchant" - everything costs 10% less, and generates 10% money (including trade, AH and vendor). just my 2 ct. Chibby 6:45, 8 March 2008 (CET) Wouldn't it most probably be the Naga? From what I understand, they are an extension of the old gods and can certainly be a new faction. I don't exactly see them on either the side of the Alliance, or the Horde. But they could certainly even form their own side. This could be a mix of races such as Naga, Murlocs, and other watery serpents. Perhaps the Pandaren race could be included into this for some unknown reason. It would be very easy to conceive. - Triangles. Fist of all, from what i hear, these are, as you have stated, just rumors. There has been no official notice from Blizzard regarding "Pandaren." Second, I imagine that Blizz would use a faction that already exists in WoW, (a.k.a. Naga, Goblins, Furbolgs, Murlocks... ect) instrad of just making one up from the moon. Third and final of my rants, if there is to be another alignment, why not neutral? I know people have said this, but how about if players that choose a neutral race decide Horde or Alliance upon creation? Sounds like a good idea to me. Unfortunately I have a feeling that pandaren and new alignments are all most likely the result of some stupid teen running his mouth to much. Totemface 04:03, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
