So in case you somehow missed it, a bit ago in one of the PTR builds files were found indicating two new sets of Hallow's End masks, male and female of both Goblins and Worgen. This started a flurry of debate that these were going to be the next two races in the next WoW expansion.
So today, a few more sets of masks were added to the build, including Ogres, Vrykul, Naga, and everyone's favorite MURLOCS.
Picture of all masks from mmo-champion:

So now what does this mean? Could mean a few different things, some likely, some totally ridiculous.
A - Goblins and Worgen are new races and the other masks are quick adds to cover up the Goblin and Worgen ones accidentally being added
B - Goblins and Worgen are new races and their masks were intentionally added before the others to generate speculation and get people talking
C - All six races will be playable next expansion
D - All current races are being removed and replaced with those
E - No new races, Blizzard just likes masks
F - Any or none may be new races, but adding female masks of races that currenly have none (Worgen, Ogres, Murlocs) means that some may be getting graphical makeovers with female models added
I'm hoping for F.
Debate away.

Though, you brought up alot of good points that weren't discussed ;d
And, the blog post covered only the Worgen + Goblin, not sure about the new ones

Yeah, that's the old one, when just the Goblin and Worgen were out before they released the new ones today. It doesn't have the new masks.

Definitely. As much as I'd hate to
see
a female ogre, I'd still like to know they exist.

Maybe they're like Dwarves in Discworld* - they're there but you just can't tell the difference?
*For those who aren't inducted into the glory that is Terry Pratchett's Discworld: All dwarves - both male and female - have full beards, bushy mustaches, and generally look like a rat hiding in a furry bush. It's considered a grave social faux pas to ask the sex of another dwarf unless you're engaged. This leads to some interesting dwarf relationships; in the real world, many dwarven couples could only be married in a handful of states...

Hmm... look at the detail between the Naga, Orgres, Vrykul and Murlocs, then look at the detail in the Worgen and Goblin. Is Blizzard screwing with us, or are the other 4 just a cover up of the 2
real
new factions? =O

E is the obvious answer, but this:
Calling it! Third faction: The neutral Mercenaries!would be awesome.

Yea, the masks besides the Goblin and Worgen ones look like they just stuck the old textures on there.

I'm saying A. The new masks look rushed, poorly made, low quality, and just plain bad compared to the goblin and worgen masks. I think they made all the new masks by taking npcs, stretching them over a mask, and calling it a day. Well, all but the female ogre since there aren't any. That mask looks like a 3-year-old took 20 minutes to make a sketch of it. Plus, look at the edges around the goblin and worgen masks compared to the new ones, they're a lot larger, which adds to my "face-stretch" theory. And then there's the murloc, the female of which looks just like one of these

, otherwise known as a differently colored male.
My thoughts exactly. I don't think Blizzard even 'responded' to the major hype about the Goblin / Worgen masks being added and they have just done this recent addition as a quick fix. Blizzard
surely
knew about the fuss people were making about the new races on just about every WoW forum on the internet.
So my bet is that the stuffed up big time when the community found out about the original Goblin / Worgen and and now added these new (pathetic) masks just hoping the hype will die down.
Not on my watch!

/sigh
Blizz likes masks. No new races in the next expansion. New Hero class? Yes. Races? No.
