IF (and that's a giant, neon, see-it-from-space IF) Tsol'teth would become an available race, it should not be gated behind credits, and it should not be something people can just reincarnate in and out of. I'd give it as a reward to a highly difficult quest, challenging in a variety of areas, tied to the Underrealm. Further, once you go Tsol'teth, you never go back to another race - it's a permanent decision, with possibly permanent RP consequences to that character. Something that takes a lot of work over a long period of time to achieve. A little like Caer Witrin in time investment, but more work, more involvement, and more than what most honours quests involve (Caer Witrin included). It'd almost be like the questing version of obtaining Dragon (please note: not encouraging a Dragon-esque race to go with your class, those were dark days and I'm glad we're beyond them).
But again, big if, and not something the admin would probably like to do, considering the lore implications.
EDIT: Some reasoning I wanted to add: I hate when things are locked behind money. Especially if it were lore-intensive like this. Same reason I'd hate it if it were easy to get. This would make it accessible to anyone willing to put in a lot of effort, but not something you can just buy, sort of like how Dragon is - you can't buy level 99 outright, you still have to hunt it up.
@Antonius if you think a thousand new lolalts coming in as Tsol'teth wouldn't devalue the Tsol'teth in some manner, you're simply mistaken.
I think Tsol'teth would have absolutely zero value if it was a playable race, so I don't see how the number of people who choose to use it could make that any worse.

I would love such a concept...if it wasnt a guarantee that the players would completely ignore the RP consequences and simply say "Stats bro" or some such. Each would make some half-assed excuse why they are Tsol'teth as well as part of their chosen org.
I prefer Tsol'teth being unselectable and simply the racist race that seeks genocide control of all.
It'd be too weird for it to happen any time soon, if ever. They have a racial god, and are linked in some psychical manner (meld) that seems to be distinct and much more intimate from the way adventures can psychically communicate with each other. People being able to play as Tsol'teth would utterly destroy their characterisation if done at any point but the tail end of their storyline..
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...

Heh, I'm imagining a scenario where Tsol'teth-ification is an alternative way to retire your character.
A rustling in the distance grows to a deafening drone as a horde of white locusts appears. Breaking
away from the swarm, numerous blue-eyed insects force themselves into your mouth and nose and fly
down your throat faster than you can react.
Churning in your stomach turns to shredding pain as countless locusts make a feast of your insides.
Consuming your organs from within, the agony of being eaten alive becomes overwhelming.
A maddening sensation inside your head culminates in blackness as your eyes explode, blood-drenched
locusts bursting out through the gore filling your sightless sockets.
Proficy, Tyrant of Mhaldor yells, "Lady MaRsHaL!!"
(Federation of Asshole Gankers): Carmain says, "Too late proficy."
(Federation of Asshole Gankers): Carmain says, "Sartan got her."
The very meat is ripped from your bones by insatiable locusts. Drowned out by their raging monotone,
the final, agonised scream forced from your ravaged throat trails off as your lungs and larynx are
devoured.
You have been slain by a swarm of albino locusts.

Completely bare of flesh, the remains of kythra form a neat skeleton. Many shallow nicks and gouges
in all directions cover the pale bones, scars left by a whirlwind of tiny cuts. The still-moist
texture of the osseous assembly suggests their bare state to be a recent occurrence.
It has about a month of usefulness left.
It weighs 0 ounce(s).

I got excited okay. Don't judge a lady excited for a mattress topper.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby

- Don't dream it ... be it
I must have psychological problems.
I don't wanna be eaten by locusts. And I like my eyes.
