In the leaked info, it said that worgen would go to the Alliance, goblins to the Horde. Check it on mmo-chamion.com if you don't believe me. Besides, WoW has, for the most part, always been the orc-led Horde against the human-led Alliance. Highly doubt that they'll add a third faction.

As said, the "leaked" info and the "I heard/read somewhere" about all this was read on MMO-Champion.
I would adore a 3rd faction. Alliance NPC's stink. Varian Wrynn leans to much to the hard edge of ruling, and Thrall is too soft. Having played both sides, I like neither.
A 3rd faction (i.e. DAoC) would shake things up alot, and change is a good thing in the world of MMO's.
Worgen and Goblins are two of the goddam
worst
races to be added. I pray to whatever god hears me that those two aren't put into the game as playable races. Awful.
Won't happen of course. The basis of WoW is Blue Vs Red. Not Blue vs Red vs Green.
Sure do wish for it though.

While I like the idea of a neutral faction, I would personally rather see it be made up of completely new races rather than a combination of existing and new. The neutral races would still frequently ally themselves with one faction or another, but they would be able to switch between the two by rep grinding quests.
They would have two new rep bars, one for Alliance and one for Horde. They could choose an initial allegiance to one faction, but down the road if they wished to do so, they could grind rep and switch to the opposite faction instead. They would be truly neutral - able to choose their allegiance and change that allegiance at will.

You are still confusing 'Neutral' with Independent. Neutral means don't choose a side. You are not Horde on Tuesdays, but Alliance on Wednesdays. You are describing Mercenaries.
Thank you, you're absolutely right. I prefer the term Independent personally. And would prefer Independent above a true Neutral faction.
If the speculative information about the next expansion is true, a true Neutral faction would face a lot of problems - for instance, I would bet that Garrosh (as leader of the Horde), and to an extent Varian, would take the view that if you are not on their side you are an enemy.

Which is why the 3rd faction would come together, because they wouldn't be able to survive on their own.
Even then, I doubt that they could survive banded together against both the Horde and the Alliance. Not that the two would cooperate, but surviving a conflict on two fronts against the two most populous allegiances on the planet?
Anyhow, I don't want to derail the thread. :)

I thought it would be interesting to make neutral races and have them pick sides during their intro quest line.
I always thought this would be an awesome way to introduce Pandaren Brewmasters.
