I for one would be OK with this if they did it up enough. Or not, because I’m a sucker for the San’layn.
Give Horde San’layn and Allliance “High Elves” and now everyone is happy (except Blood Elves who would have two new groups to make them feel less special at night).
Alternately, San’Layn are just undead who specialize in blood magic and happen to be derived from elves. Any Death Knight can spec blood and be functionally equivalent to San’Layn in terms of powers.
They don’t need a lot to make them playable. I mean, Void Elves are playable despite only being made up of a small handful of exiled researchers initially.
I still think it would be better to have vampyr humans in the horde, since if blizz gave blood elves to the alliance; why can’t the horde have vampyr humans like nathanos dracula style.
the game does have the vampire counterpart ever since wrath, they were called the san’layn… and then in shadowlands the venthyr showed up as well.
well, we didn’t got either, on the other hand if it makes you feel any better, you can “kinda” be a san’layn by customizing elf with white skin and red eyes
