I've had my bets on a potential 7.0 launch rather than 6.0

If we consider how every other major expansion added new races, and that they likely went into 5.0 expecting a backlash but not a large one to the addition of one-sex races, they might not have even had completing the races on the radar. So the decision to finish them would have to had come after hrothgar was announced, meaning just a bit over a year ago. It's entirely possible that even if they are working on the completed races right now that both with the time frame to make them, make the emotes for them, model all the clothing, and then the added delays around COVID that they simply won't be ready to launch at 6.0.

This is what ties in to my earlier statement that we might not see them in the game at all if the game doesn't even make it to a 7.0 expansion. It's entirely possible that they develop a new MMO rather than drag this out that far.
