They bit off far more than they could chew attempting 2 full races in one go like that.
Because the more races - ie. character models - they add, the harder it is to keep up with their production schedule.

I don't have a quote but I think I remember them saying that they couldn't manage any more than this.

The Hrothgar/Viera split race (for practical purposes, the same draw on resources as a single race) could be the last race they can add to the game, so they tried to squeeze in two things that players apparently wanted.
