If you want to be part of the horde you get to be a Blood Elf and when you want to be part of the alliance you get to be a High Elf. They we go problem solved everyone happy, didnt even need to add them as an allied race.
And while we’re talking about neutral races I’d love to see the Tuskar become the allied race choice for the Pandas because they have a history of also helping both the alliance and horde, so I’d say its easy to see them as a neutral allied race.
No thanks.
Yes please
I need Tuskar to be playable before I die, so hell yea.
It’s an okay idea. Having a cool “choose your destiny” quest at level 20 would be fun.
I dig it, i just hope they also add some more customization while they’re at it such as new hairstyles.
I support this idea & I think that would work; moreover, it would give a valid in-game reasoning for all the newer High Elves in the Alliance ranks since Cata. However, in all truth there is an overwhelming amount of forum trolls who would cry over it happening. At least in any thread with the mention of High Elves they seem to cry that they even exist in the game at all.
I support and I’ll add that since that would essentially make the Horde lose one of their races I’d say it would be a good as time as any to finally add the damn Orges to the game at long last. I dont care if you have to shrink them either, just get them in the game already.
No. Part of the blood elves’ storyline in Eversong and the Ghostlands is them being pushed away from the Alliance and pushed towards joining the Horde, so having them become neutral would necessitate a zone-wide overhaul. I don’t see tuskarr ever happening, either.
Its about time they overhauled Silvermoon and the rest of the zone anyways, like seriously you still cant even fly over there, so I dont see why you’re not in favor.
The succinct thought of the HE “community”
Alliance can’t have Blood Elves. Sorry.
With the alliance trying to seize control of the Eastern Kingdoms I can see this happening and with Silvermoon getting a revamp, perhaps having the High Elves move into Silvermoon and having the Blood elves evacuate to Kalimdor
Oh my LORD no.
I could see it working if based on the loss of his people Lor’themar Theron had enough of Sylvanas Windrunner actions as the Warchief and no longer sees it being of benefit to his people to remain with the Horde and there being some in game cut scene showing declaring his intent to withdrawal from the Horde but not being their King nor wishing to force them unwillingly gives them a choice. And have the zone revamped in a scenario leading up to said choice in-game.
As such it would add more lore to the race and not affect current Blood Elf players in the least. Only those who wish to start a new one with the idea of said choice in mind. Those pro Horde would join the Horde and so on, Those who favor The High Elf would join the Alliance.
From what I see here on the forums, the Blood Elves love Female Elf Arthas as their Warchief. Why would they abandon her and their Troll BFFs?
probably solve faction imbalanc as well seeing as how horde ratios are probably 10:1 and then blood elves make up 70% of the horde lolol
The problem is that these are technically two different races now. If Blizz wanted, they could’ve made the eyes of the Blood Elves blue again now that the Sunwell is purified, but they chose gold to distinguish the fact that though these two share the same blood, they don’t share the same ideas.
Poor Draenei. BC should’ve just been all blood elf stuff.
I wouldn’t be happy about this, and I certainly don’t agree with another neutral race in an expansion all about faction conflict. That’s counter intuitive and silly. And you don’t get to speak for me, that’s worth remembering.
Lore is just made up anyway, so that is not a problem. I would love to play Blood Elves as Alliance. I usually don’t play Horde because I like the locations of things on the Alliance side. So letting Blood Elves be either faction would be great!
