i would really like an entire new faction.
Totally.
If I could remake it myself, I would've kept the Alliance Draenei and Horde Blood Elves out of it completely (except perhaps as neutral races) and instead formed a "Burning Legion" faction with the Eredar, Broken, Naga & Blood Elves all under the banner of the Illidari.
(It'd cause a problem for instanced PvP, but I don't think there's enough focus on organized World PvP in the first place.)
Edit --- I realize a transition for a "Burning Legion" playable race into Northrend would be anything but subtle, but I'd be willing to deal with it.

I personally don't think Blizzard is going to incorporate a new race anytime soon... however, I do have a few ideas that I think would be interesting.
I'd like to see a playable dragonflight race, maybe the reds or the bronze with their humanoid/dragon-like bodyguards. Or perhaps add a totally different faction, I know I'd drop all my current characters if I could play as a Kalu'ak walrus-man! no
I think it could be cool if they made a 3th faction like "Traitors" or "Villains" so u could befriended some dudes that once was ur enemies example Exalted status with cult of the damned. I mean take ur faction loyal character and prove urself to the lich king. btw any1 knows if ur able to post ideas to blizz? or make a Vrykul that could be cool blizz make a traitor faction! and let my Tauren Deathknight rampage orgrimmar! no

Alright many people said this but no one at all really expanded on it: BURNING. LEGION.
Have them start out in the twisting nether and you can play as the different types of demons (e.g. eredar warlock, doomguard, etc, and definitely Nathrezim ofc.) Have the main classes be warlock and a kind of demonic version of a pally maybe (and I'm NOT talking DK's here, thats different), and warriors. All in all I think Burning Legion would make an awesome playable race. Period. Also it would be quite a bit of work, but like add new bgs where alliance and horde ally against them or something, that would be cool. And yes I understand this would probably never happen because it would be a LOT of lore to make up, like the cities in the twisting nether and such, but still, i think it would be AWESOME.

Goblins - for Alliance and Horde. If there is another expansion, it will very likely be centered around the Maelstrom and Undermountain, the goblin Capitol City.
At the completion of the starting zone for goblins, they would choose which faction to follow; this would decide their 'off-language' at the very least. They might end up speaking different dialects so there is no cross-faction communication, or Blizzard might even abandon that ban with the introduction of the goblin player race.
Well? Spit it out!

I've read so many of these threads that I give up trying to read everything in them. I've posted a list of the races that I personally think could be made playable...not based on lore or anything, just from my experiences in the game with races that appear to have intelligence enough to make it happen:
Naga
Quilboar
Murlocs
Pandaren
Worgen
Ethereals
Arakkoa
Ogres
Goblins
Centaurs
Furbolgs
Tuskarr
Gnolls
Wolvar
I think that's a pretty complete list.
And personally, while I doubt it will ever happen, I could totally see Blizz making up some lore about how certain demons relieved themselves of Sargeras' control over them and join the Horde or Alliance, similar to the Death Knight system. Players wouldn't pick a specific race to become "demonized", if you will, they would just pick a class, and you enter as that type of demon. Likely? No. But feasible. And they could certainly make up the lore for it.
Demonic hero classes anyone? It would certainly provide an interesting type of gameplay, and I would love to see how they incorporate healers, etc into the mix that way. I would love to see a unique demonic mount too.
EDIT: forgot wolvar...apparently some people think wolvar and worgen are the same thing though, which is a little bit frightening...although I suppose Allies hardly ever run into worgen unless they decide to do SFK...
