Does this look private to you?

Wasnt Stormwind sort of a lost cause after the Orcs came through? It was deep in the Orc Horde lands. Lordaeron harbored the Human refugees from all over and was sort of the last bastion and the reason the Alliance was with them. Eventually the Alliance of Lordaeron fought through the Orcs and secured the areas of Stormwind. Thats about all I recall. But youâre right. Theres still a lot of history around that time period that hasnt been explored. Maybe in the future. Itll probably be a book though.
Pffffffft youâre practically on our side Murgy.

As someone who has personally tinkered with High Elf skin files in the past, I assure you this takes no more than 30-60 minutes. The vast majority of pre-Legion High Elf NPCâs are linked to 4-5 generic High Elf skins, and starting from Legion, most High Elf NPCâs are using the Blood Elf model with High Elf face files (which is why now many High Elves have the fel eye glow, even though theyâre not supposed to).
So no, donât try to make it sound like a herculean task because it isnât.

Youâre wearing red! Definitely, definitely a Horde! 
Blizz, just do this ALREADY! You know how many of your customers want to play High elves on Alliance side. I am one of those. The High Elves are my all time favorite race. Do you know how much money you could make in race transfers alone? I would probably do at least 3 BY MYSELF.
This could also help with the huge population problem with horde vs. Alliance in many areas of this game. I think a third, or more, of horde are playing blood elves. Perhaps some of those will transfer over to Alliance to play high elves instead and give Alliance a healthier progression/pvp population- especially if the high elf racials were good.
Just do this! It makes perfect business sense. Not doing it at this point is just plain stupid.

Lol I have three in mind for race change myself. I dont think many people would transfer from the horde and the population wont change all that much. People already have friends and guilds on the Horde side. You might get some people who change but not a lot. Youâll probably see a lot more alts than anything.
As much as I want to know the details⊠not enthusiastic about this team telling the story about the past⊠it would be full of retcons and contrived reasons to match the current story⊠not the bridge between wc3 and wow.
Murg is just the most objective, still think heâs not a fan of them happening, but at least considers all arguements for and against. 
to get a good pop boost would need to make them playable from level 1 with no rep grind requirement, and have it happen while classic was attracting alot of new players. do the same with ogres.
alot of classic fans wanted ogres on horde and high elves on alliance, for years. would get more cross over that way too.
Theres a description at the character creation screen. Oh and
If by âacting on his ownâ you mean he was, essentially, Lordaeronâs leader and didnât answer to anyone, had support from the dwarves and Kirin Tor and the majority of Lordaeronâs surviving troops.
Itâd be like saying night elves shouldnât hold a grudge against the Horde over the tree because Sylvanas was the leader in charge at the time.

yes i know. hehe
he treated the dwarves bad too.
He didnât actively try to kill them.
Yeah that would do it, but I doubt Blizz will do a core race for a while. It would be cool if they did a weird WC2 scenario where they introduce High Elves and Ogres. Sort of like using the history in place to introduce them.
He didnt blame the Dwarves for his dead family either.

No, and you know Iâm not, but what I am is willing to work at seeing the issue from both sides and acknowledging that some of these discussions are purely âIf that were to ever happen, what would you think about this?â in nature.
I know I know. Just having some fun banter after so much crazy debate.

There is absolutely no argument against High Elves that holds up.

If you donât want one, donât play one. Let the many, many people that do play what they want. It has no effect on you at all.

There is no lore/game reason to disallow High elves that would not be the same for Void elves or Magâhar orcs- which are both in the game.

This physically hurts me every time I read it.
This is what horde toons tell Alliance every time they complain about warmode or wpvp.
âIf you donât want to pvp turn off warmode.â How is this any different?
