Opening Revantusk (Forest) Trolls to Players

[zarakk]

But the Wildhammers don't look different. Take a look at Revantusk when you're around, and you'll notice that all the men are bulky as hell.

don't look different.

Pardon my intrusion, but I have to disagree.

Spoiler:

The wildhammer dwarves have a different skin tone that normal dwarves can't get, and they have them wicked blue tattoos, I also added the raventusk and the closest to a raventusk I could get on a normal troll to show how big/small the difference is. (Oh and ignore the DK eyes on the wildhammer d0rves)

We're not making exact copys, there'll obviously be differances since we can't get the skin tone and size of the Revantusks down right, but you can quite easily RP as one with a similar skin, like the two you had compaired, the Darkspear you had could pose as a Revantusk.

No they don't. The only visible difference is tattoo's and we can give those to Wildhammer players. You even prove it with the picture you posted, I don't know about you but the wildhammer and the skin on the farthest right look damn near the same.

If you still don't see it. (Really crappy gif maker)

Spoiler:

With the Revantusk, as they are forest trolls they'd stick out like a sore thumb, and as not everyone has flagrsp or similar, it makes it hard to convey without game models and have people react accordingly.

I know this topic's been dead for a while, but with recent server happenings I think it would be appropriate to bring this topic back up, so that the true Horde can fill the gap left behind by the Forsaken, since they allready suffer from a lack of members, something like a new race might spike interestagain. I even havea simple answer for the Revantusks going full Horde; since now the Horde is at a disadvantage in the Eastern Kingdoms and being affiliated with the Horde might mark them as targets to the traitors the Revantusks might seek a full representation in the Horde, and millitairy support since their tribe is right between two of the Hordes greatest foes, making the area around the tribe, and it's warriors a powerful strategic resource.
