Thank you Alenthinal for showing your hand.
I knew you just wanted your DnD/LOTR Elf.

By the way just to add, originally Blizz did say in TBC, the choice to place Blood Elves on the Horde was mainly for sever population balance, so really what you call your elves doesnât matter because it was really a server balance decision.
Also your comment made no sense about me wanting a DnDL/LOTR elf. The elves are not available on both factions. They pretty much look and animate the same, so I donât know what you are getting at. At the end of the day, the âvoidy voiceâ is just a sound file. At present, Void Elves can chat in Common and Thalassian, if Blizz is happy, they can give us regular voices at some point. Take it easy itâs just a game.
Youâre playing night elf female, you dont deserve to play high elf
If youâre playing dwarf female i say thatâs Fine but night elf female? You want to BE A Night Elf Female, Thatâs Weird
I was there, this has been a theory and not confirmed in any shape or form.
EDIT: I actually remember one devtalk saying how itâd be weird to have an Alliance city right above a Horde city.
Interesting comment considering Iâm not imagining a wholesale change of the game. 
Okay just in case someone runs around with this Falsehood.
Garithos was mindcontrolled after he imprisoned KaelâThas and the other Sin/QuelâDorei. It was briefly as well.
Stretching the lore though to help yourself cope⊠wow.
No it doesnât lmao yâall donât understand that Blizz has been adding subraces through customization and it shows. You can make a Darkspear Troll or a Wildhammer Dwarf the same way I am playing an Alliance High Elf right now. Blizz gave us specific customization options to do so instead of a brand new race.
The exact same way they gave the blue eyes to Blood Elves who wanted to play as High Elves too
Because two rando NPCs who were added more as an easter egg for OG players than anything as per the Devs words on Twitter do not hold more weight over the future of the race they just âjoinedâ than the actual two Racial Leaders LOL
If Alleria and Umbric want to go back to Quelâthalas in/after Midnight and Lorâthemar welcomes them back then I donât think Lyria Skystrider is going to be the one stopping them 
if she wants to stay on Telogrus when that happens that will be up to her tho!
I donâtâŠhave tentacles. 
I know it might confuse you since your toon has 4 polygon hair from 2006 but this is what modern hairstyles in the game look like! Hope that helps!
Crazy how much it bothers yâall that the Devs keep ignoring your complaints and attempts to gatekeep and just keep giving Helf fans more and more things and are going to continue to do so in Midnight lol. When will you guys stop the cope I wonder
Yâall try to act so condescending and catty it makes it so enjoyable watching you guys lose every battle youâve ever argued over on here, and I canât wait for Midnight to keep watching the collective meltdowns at what is to come

Interesting because I havenât been in those battles, so whoâs yâall. They still have not given Alliance Blood Elves to you, I know you call them High Elves but they are Blood Elves. I wasnât even against the non-blue customizations, it made sense with Alleria.
Whatâs the funny voice you have, Isveria? Youâre still a Void Elf my dear embrace that void, glow purple! You even bleed purple, so odd.

That was a long term plan and we Blood Elves have been High Elves from day one. This distinction you have is in your head.
Funny, didnât they remove all the High elf NPCs from the rift and replace them exclusively with Blood elves? Hm.
But I digress, Iâd say youâre a High elf in the same way they said Alleria is a High elf, but unlike Blood elves the implication of the Void is built into your character. So say what you will, but it shows through your character from their hair, their blood, their voice to even your racial. No one is saying you arenât a High elf, so you are using the customizations, but youâre also a Void elf.
Nothing about a Forestâs trollâs or a Bronzebeard Dwarfâs race that would have any implications on either of those subraces. They are not changed by any fundamental force, thereâs no implications built into any of them.
You canât even walk into a church without getting side-eyed, and that is an RP function designed specifically to remind you that youâre a void abberation.
An easter egg isnât using their own characters, they used existing characters with canon in the game as new characters with the Void elves. Devs never said they arenât canon, they were even specifically requested by players to join the Void elves in fact.
Void elves have their own base, and the conflict is clearly being stoked. I doubt see them adding dialogue like that, only to contradict and back down on it. Have fun with your void rock bud. lol
Itâs not Lyria, or Ennas, itâs the narrative they, and the rest of the Void elves are being written in. Even Alleriaâs questline in the patch centered around Locus-Walker telling her that she needed to embrace who she truly was and let go of her past, hence why she gets rid of her old âHigh elfâ armor and is seen fully embracing the Void and her unique nature.
After what happened at the Sunwell, Quelâthalasâ population is clearly distrusting of Void elves considering they all ran for cover and locked their doors. The short story kept saying âthis is not my homeâ again, and again. Itâs funny that youâre essentially covering your eyes at everything pointing in the opposite direction but cling desperately to Umbricâs one line. lol
I mean, I donât think I want your receding hairline hairdos, or your oily dirty-looking hair. You look like a drowned rat. Iâll happily use my High elf hairstyles though
I am⊠a helf fan? lmao Iâve gotten all Iâve ever wanted, and now I get my raceâs home city updated with High elves and Blood elves! What did you get besides a bunch of reject Blood elves on a floating rock. lol
Iâve never been against High elves, in fact Iâve only ever wanted my horde High elf. But I can say that itâs certainly amusing and satisfying seeing you guys have to settle with the voidy elves, while we get the High elves youâve always pandered for.

Clock that tea sis
i had to do a double take. that would be a major blow to a large swath of alliance players, who are already rather rare. i mean you should have high elves, because you are high elfs, but why would you hope this turns into a disappointment for half the players? do you secretly hope the game self immolates?
The better question would be why did these people think they have some kind of right to helfs? They were given to the Horde what? 17 years ago? Itâs not like this notion is just setting in.

real question is, after gifting belfs to horde, why did they dangle alliance helfs in our faces for each new expac, excluding bfa? weâd ask, can we play the silver covenant? nope. now? nope. how about now? nope, but heres some you can quest with (isle of thunder, mop).
I donât think they did. I think people started giving those npcs more importance than they really ever had. People seem to do that a lot, making up these events that never come to pass then act all disappointed when they donât. Like the Midnight stuff where certain people think Blizzard is just gonna give them half of a Horde city because⊠well, no reason really other than they really want it to be that way. And when they end up disappointed based on their very own hype they act like they were cheated out of something and that is very unreasonable.

well alliance players played wc3, also. and kael was a cool char. his team was cool and players empathisized with him and them. only to find in tbc, that they were only playable on one faction. alliance players were seen as genocidal maniacs by proxy of garithos being human. then they put arator in the hfp inn and decked him out in the pally judgement set. all the other npcs looked dumpy and trashy by comparison. who wouldnt want to play that swanky half elf? youâd have to be blind to not say WOW!
If they played WCIII they knew that Helfs left the Alliance. More likeley they saw Lord of the Rings and Legoolias was Aragornâs buddy. If people loved the Helfs so much they would have played them no matter what faction they were on. In fact that happened because if you recall, before belfs the Horde was pretty much a ghost town.

Well I do think youâre over-estimating how many Alliance or Horde players actually care about High elves, because truthfully I donât think thereâs that many. Maybe in RP servers? But in normal servers I can say blood elves and void elves have the most random combination of customizations, and I can bet that more than half of them only picked blue eyes simply because they thought they were pretty, not because they wanted to be a High elf or had any knowledge of the lore behind them.
I donât hope for anything for half the player base, but those posting in bad-faith, whoâs intentions seem more focused on spiting, or trashing others (like Isveria) certainly deserve it.

alot did, we lost a bunch of alliance pallys right off the bat. arator was an ad for join the horde, smack in alliance hfp inn.
This most of all.
It would be one thing if were like âOh my gosh, Iâm so excited to go to Silvermoon finally!â but half the posts are âHaha weâre getting Silvermoon, f you horde!â and then if they donât get silvermoon, theyâll scream and cry about Horde bias or something bizarre.
Who wants to root for people like that? Who wouldnât enjoy watching their disappointment after trying to turn something that could have just been fun, and innocent into trying to mock the other side.
