Blood Elves

@Zaleos-quelthalas

Some went to Dalaran

Which doesn’t make sense, considering night elves exiled them from being anywhere near there due to them literally bringing Azeroth to the attention of the most deadly force known in existence and starting a never ending war…

@Zaleos-quelthalas

The elves of Quel’Thalas eventually would forsake their “High Elf” or “Quel’Dorei” name, as decided by their governorr Kael’Thas (“…we are no longer high elves”…) and became Blood Elves or Sin’Dorei.

I didn’t realize saying you’re a new race makes that happen. Sounds a lot like the people in real life who say things like “I’m a werewolf and not a human!”

@Zaleos-quelthalas

Meanwhile the High Elves or Quel’Dorei of the Alliance remained the same as they were.

Except high elves as a whole officially left the alliance, so it doesn’t matter much.

Would the addition of High Elves to the Alliance hurt someone?

Yes, It would be an outrage for a horde race to be put on the alliance roster with no reason other than “But we want blue eyed blood elves on our team!”

@Valarían-hydraxis

This whole situation was started by the DEVS, and they made it worse with the introduction of the Ren’dorei, If they would have done the right thing in the first place, and made the Silver Covenant a playable race for, the Alliance like the Alliance player base asked for this discussion would not be taking place. It would not hurt the game and make the alliance player base happy.

But you’re wrong though. Stealing one race and giving it to the other purely because of a minority of vocal whiners demands it would be outrageous.

@Midare-area-52

And just pixels, hm, interesting. Then I guess every single time you’ve complained about Horde Bias wasn’t a big deal after all, it’s just pixels and fiction, right? Not to mention, then it’s also not a big deal that High elves renamed Blood elves joined the Horde, then, it’s just pixels.

Nah, it only matters about things that THEY want. They’re extreme hypocrites and outright delusional.

@Enekie-wyrmrest-accord

Why would it bother you? They’d be a distinct, different race with their own lore. That fits all the criteria you said.

Having blue eyes =/= a different race or different lore. Blood elves are high elves and took high elf lore with them. Blood elves and what little “high elves” remain have been separated for less than 30 years and there is no central “high elf” community, It’s spread out hand fulls here or there so they wouldn’t have cultivated their own lore even if they tried. It’d be like saying “Oh that one dude over there? Yeah he has his own city, his own lore, he deserves to be a playable race!” Even IF you think that’s justification for them to be playable, there’s millions of races that make WAY more sense to be playable before that.

@Softsong-aggramar

Not according to Ion, the lead developer and lore itself. Blood and High Elves are the same race. c:

According to high elf mega fans their own knowledge of lore is more right than the people who made it as seen below.

@Joyeuse-barthilas

Myself and many longtime fans do, in fact, know Warcraft’s original lore better than many of the employees Blizzard hired during World of Warcraft’s lifetime.

I think they sometimes confuse official lore with the fanfictions they read, LOL.

@Enekie-wyrmrest-accord

High Elves already exist as their own separate entity that is officially affiliated with the Alliance.

Except for you know, the whole part about their faction as a whole officially left the alliance already after being bullied and executed by the alliance…

@Valarían-hydraxis

Because they are recognized faction already in game, Silver Covenant. Which they are against the horde.

Except they officially left the alliance ages ago after being mistreated, executed, and worse…so why would they join the alliance and not the horde? Where almost ALL their family and friends live?

@Drede-cairne

Because High Elves as they exist now are Alliance Aligned.

Except they officially left the alliance as a race before the game was even playable.

@Ralanthel-thrall

I fully agree. Blizzard should put an end to this once and for all where the remaining High Elves choose to re-align with Silvermoon

This.

@Drede-cairne

And the Sunwell is not “Full” of High Elves who are neutral it was a handful of visitors.

I guess you wouldn’t know since you’re alliance, but every high elf remaining is welcomed to visit the sun well any time they want…so if by “a hand full of visitors” you mean literally every remaining high elf, sure.
