I agree that we have too many “races” that are just customization options for existing races. We need a race squish.
But Haranir are a totally different model that happens to use the night elf animation skeleton. Like Vulpera and Goblins.

They really aren’t. They’re just a hairy elf. Vulpera and Goblins are insanely different models comparatively.

That would effectively mean that Classic is just Ion’s fanfic version of vanilla and completely inauthentic. Therefore all support, save basic maintenance, should be removed. Including and not limited to SoD and Hardcore. Maybe then retail’s bugs can finally be fixed, nearly 9 months after launch.
Should be shut down as it’s an illegal server. Adding a race should be enough of a ToS violation to do so.
Cause some, allegedly, vanilla players keep crying about cut content from the 20 year old version of this game. High Elves would add nothing to the game, they only want it cause they didn’t get it the first time.
Agreed.
I don’t recall ever encountering any blue fairy’s telling me to listen.

Using high elves as bait to get people to play Classic+.

IIRC, there are some rumors suggesting Blizzard are working on a “what if” Classic+. An alternate timeline where the dark portal never opened, or something like that. That SoD was a live testing ground to see what works and what didn’t. Can’t remember the fine details.

I’d play a Classic+ if we had transmog and updated graphics/spell effects from retail.

Now that we’ve had years of Classic and a template for Classic+ in Season of Discovery, it’d be nice to see an actual proper Classic+ happen.
The Dark Portal never opens, there’s no Orcs. No Warcraft at all.
Classic+ needs to be made by the original Dev team and writers with ZERO involvement from the current team and acti. They shouldn’t even be allowed to entertain the idea of a what if.
True and I do question if Blizzard would have three playable races that can look exactly the same. Though if the survey is legit and playable High Elves are a thing in a Classic +, I would find it weird that a classic version of WoW has access to a playable race, with their own racials and character tag, that retail doesn’t.
However in thinking more about having new playable races in a Classic +, I wonder how it could be explained lore wise with retail. Like say did the playable High Elf group became Void Elves?
If the Horde gets Goblins, did they become apart of the Bilgewater Cartel when they joined the Horde in Cataclysm.
Why? SoD has all kinds of crap that doesn’t exist in Retail.

Sorry, should have clarified. The dark portal didn’t open again after vanilla. I.e no TBC. That was the rumor.
I just do. Not really sure how to explain it.
At the risk of jinxing myself, I’ll quote Commander Sinclair from Babylon 5 “You know better than to listen to rumors. Don’t you, ambassador?”

i would loooooooooove to be on the forums that day omg lol
I would be inclined to agree. But what I and other who share that opinion thinks doesn’t matter. If the Helf fanbase feel slighted they are going to throw a hissy fit of biblical proportions.
