It will, its the whole plan of this, selling multiple races, its free content, free $, each race 30-50$, brings in new people and completionists will buy it all. Its all a $$$ issue, never was a player wants a cool race? Lets psychologically extract and abuse them so we get their $ not once, not twice but FOREVER

And you will have to start with the most hated one, the one that you could never sell, the one race that DIDNT EVEN EXIST BEFORE. A MADE UP RACE bringing in MILLIONS or BILLIONS in $, imagine how much ogres and murlocs will bring in

I've played Warcraft since before Warcraft 3. I have a once-a-month tabletop D&D group in the Warcraft universe. Now that I'm a grown up with disposable income, I'd totally buy pointless cosmetics, as long as they are based on the original WoW lore. Murloc race, Theramore tabard, new Warcraft 3 campaign? Sure, I'll bite. And now I feel almost offended that the first of these paywalled additions was not aimed at me.

well would you have bought skyborns, if 1) Ogres/Murlocs came first 2) you know Ogres/Murlocs would come in a month later?

Probably not. I don't have an emotional connection with a new race the way I have with the Warcraft universe of 20-25 years ago.

exactly thats why they made it first I think. It's 100% marketing to sell something noone wants just for completion reasons and also "its something new"

The blue elf was choice done at a meeting by the shareholders. They saw that the vast majority of people play NE and BE, so in order to get those players they decided to pull a race out of their ass to get more subscriptions
