I wonder if that’ll change later and they were just letting horde hang out in those spots for now so it didn’t feel quite as alliance centric that way.

Later it won’t matter because the place will be abandoned by the players and devs

yyyyyup. It feels weird walking around places like Boralus or Dazar’alor and they’re just completely empty. But those were major hubs during an expansion, Amirdrassil is kind of just like an afterthought at the end of an expansion.

It’s a thematic close to the Night Elf Saga which began with the Burning of Teldrassil. So it’s a bit more than an after thought. It’s final resolution of that story.
that is nothing personal just pointing out that the average argument from that direction is directly tied to the Horde being locked out of content.

It’s an after thought. It’s barely even fleshed out enough to be turned into a quest hub let alone a replacement for an entire starting questing experience and a major capital city. But the entirety of the Night Elf story has been a complete after thought for these “writers”.

And I have no problem with the being for the whole patch. Esp. if we had an entire patch devoted to Horde lore.
It is not intended that it be a quest hub, a Darnassus replacement, or even be relevant after this expansion is over.
My guy we all are second fiddle to the human story. Everyone knows this.
Well, if Alexstrasza can forgive the Horde for murdering hundreds of her children. I guess the Night Elves can forgi…nope. No, that’s ridiculous. The Night Elves lost most of their population in that genocide.
On a world where there’s a giant sword sticking out of it, a sword that is most likely in a very uncomfortable spot for Azeroth. Who’s a lady, btw. Confirmed in game in several lines of dialog. What kind of jerk stabs a sleeping woman?
The Orcs, Undead, Trolls, Blood Elves went and burned a WORLD TREE. As if causing yet another giant wound was somehow an intelligent choice. Because burning a stabbing victim, is always a good decision…
There’s no reason for the Night Elf civilians, who all lost loved ones, to have to endure the presence of the murderers.
Blizzard was far too Kumbaya about the whole repeated genocides thing with the Orcs.
To sum up. The Horde should have done the honorable thing and left immediately after securing the tree.

The plan was to drive all alliance presence out from Kalimdor. If the Horde has just left the night elves would not leave.
Bliz will never give Kalimdor to the Horde. Same thing for the Eastern Kingdoms for the Alliance.

We will wait until Midnight and I am sure you will eat your words after it is over since making Quel’thalas alliance again is a long term goal of the devs since they always gave in to the loud minority of high elf fans.
I could have sworn that you’ve said that you won’t be playing any of the new expansions.

Yes but I will still watch the cinematics in YouTube.
The game is written for the alliance.

Just like Teldrassil was.
No… it was forethought. Teldrassil after all is the setting for the Night elf scene in the original vanilla trailer.
Was it though?
Going from War3 into WoW, Teldrassil came out of no where.
Initially, Teldrassil wasn’t even going to be the starting zone for Nelves, it was going to be an island called Kalidar.

Teldrassil wasn’t even finalized as a location until late into WoW’s Beta development. That’s why a lot of the original quests there have odd inconsistencies and terminology use:
like referring to the Eastern Kingdoms as ‘Azeroth’
You found this on Teldrassil? Intriguing… this fruit is exotic. Perhaps its seeds were brought here from far off. Perhaps even as far as Azeroth!

or saying the Night Elves used to be called the ‘Kaldorei’
Long ago, the night elves were called the kaldorei

The Night Elf was in a vague purple forest.
Could’ve been literally any Night Elven forest, not Teldrassil specifically.
