Here is the thing. I am not using numbers. It is well known that Arthas wiped out 90% of Quel’thalas population, not 90% of the High Elven population.
Now, I can not give you an official source on how many were outside Quel’thalas, because, in all honesty, nobody also knows what was the real number who survived Arthas invasion either.
Almost Wednesday here. Well, in 3 hours anyways. The days come and go too quickly.
Eh…
But that’s what I mean. Then if we can’t make any kind of factual statement. I have to rely on Blizzard. Which stated that 10% survived and most of them became Blood Elves…
Whelp 4:00 am here I’m off goodnight all
And it says on the Blood Elf page, here on the World of Warcraft site, that Arthas wiped out 90% of the kingdoms population. There is only one kingdom of the High Elves.
But not every High Elf was inside Quel’thalas at the time as well.
Except that he’s not, he is indeed listed as a blood elf and the people that writes the story acknowledge his existence as one:

The only divide is that the majority of them honor their fallen while the minority of them don’t and like to shack up with humans.
From the article about High elves which uses the warcraft encyclopedia as its source:
“Although the only physical difference between blood and high elves is their eye color - blood elves have glowing green eyes - this is not an indication of their quarrel.”
They are the same thing. Again, in lore, one thing is them leaving behind the name of their race to accept the identity of people that honors their fallen, but even if they did that, that did not change their race.
its not about that at all. only people who lack intelligence think high elves arnt being added because people dont want them to.
they cant be added because blizzard themselves have given reasons for why they can never be added. until those reasons are gone, they cant be added
Okay, but what’s the population outside of that kingdom. As I said,
A couple of hundred troops in Outland. That’s about it. A handful of survivors from the Kirin Tor massacre. Same with Lordearon.
Frankly, I don’t see any reason to believe that any sizable population was outside the kingdom at the time. (or they were but also got ran over by undead legions)
Fixed that for you
You expect me to go through your upvoted comments to see how many times you’ve liked it each time people took 1 or 2 NPCs and called that a major presence?
You think I have no life?
I mean, I have no life, but I still have work.
Oh dear, you sound as if this is the first time we spoke if you think I care that much.
A. They were in WC3 and the expac as Human units as well.
B. Vereesa Windrunner and the Silver Covenant are still running around un-voided (lol) and I think that’s who everyone wants to play as
That is the thing, I can’t tell you what the numbers are, because there is no real source on numbers.
And if you think numbers are the reason why the Alliance High Elves can’t become playable, sorry to disagree with you, but Void Elves say hello, considering they are only a small group of Umbric Followers. And as even Ion put it, an Elite-Crack Squad
Pretty sure I don’t need to explain to you what a squad means.
you realize that there are about 100 total void elves right. yet they are a playable race?
I think that is part of the Blood Elf storyline though? Kael led them astray, aligned himself with KJ and the Blood Elves had to turn against him. If we get a Silvermoon remodel, I think they’ll be replaced by light-influenced stuff.
Please see my response from earlier… This is what makes me believe that you all just read my post for things to disagree with.
Aos, it’s not my opinion. It was an opinion presented by the devs a while back. I don’t have an opinion other than I don’t believe it ever will happen and I don’t believe the lore supports it.
Proof?
Oh boy, here you go again.
they stopped using the fel a long time ago and both blood elves and orcs freed themselves of the effects a long time ago to, they even tried to rejoin the alliance after they cured themselevs but were turned away
Dude was agreeing and they still argue. It’s kind of frustrating.
Oh yes, here we go again. Look at you who claim to know all, but know very little.
