What about all those Gnomes you see working with Orcs and such in all those cults running around? As long as the Gnome is angry enough about being oppressed, I don't see why he can't join the Horde.

pretty much

so them finding Halloween masks which are usually reserved for playable races in the new patch cant even be seen as possible sign? And considering the lore and that there is a zone that has been locked up since launch in silver pine forest full of Worgen could not lead people to believe that maybe this could be?

@Montrealien

Considering Blizzard have stated they aren't planning to launch another expansion for at least another year, adding masks for new playable races now would be kind of stupid on their part. And say what you will, but I wouldn't describe Blizzard as stupid.

Having said that, I could see the possibility of having Worgen as a playable race, but not Goblin. I'm sure we'll see a lot of new masks for this years Halloween, and they won't be indicative of any new races for an expansion that is still a long way off.
