Just make the blood elves a neutral race

[Carissaria-aggramar]

how about we make humans neutral too while we’re at it, since horde has worked with the humans of alterac and a pirate crew in kul tiras? if

Sure. Those humans did work with you guys, so why not? Maybe a questljne where you don’t join your normal faction and “rebel” instead.

Topic was necro’d from Nov. 2018 chances are it’s not going to be shut down now as it wasn’t back then, save for a mass of “spam” flagging .

[Revolutîon-arathor (Revolutîon)]

So because of a few quests thats why youre against it. Seems pretty silly considering how much the lore is bended in all directions already.

[Toramu-thrall (Toramu)]

A bit disingenuous to assume I’m against the Alliance getting a Horde race over “a few quests”. No, I’m against OP pitching yet another “compromise” for Alliance players constantly begging for normal-skinned Thalassian elves, who are currently intertwined with the Horde. I also don’t want to humor the idea of the current devs bending over backwards to make a previously Horde-exclusive race neutral without doing the same for another core race.

[Jahqu-area-52]

Yes plz great suggestion OP!

Sure and while you’re at it why not just retcon half of their history from WC 3?

It’s so telling when the antis can only muster up irrelevant non-sense, making high elves go through a bunch of different hoops that no other allied race had to go through.

Adding playable alliance high elves will not hurt you, no matter how big your victim conplex is. I’m sure this is something you can discuss with your therapist at your next visit.

[Symbioserous-tanaris (Symbioserous)]

Just what we need. Prissy elves running amok amounsgt the alliance. When they said high elves I thought they meant something different.

[Syegfryed-tol-barad (Syegfryed)]

Now you’re just being spiteful that I know the lore better than you do. Rude.

I prefer not to taint my knowledge with dubiously canon sources.

isn’t this pure gold?

Maybe you got too far into those Warcraft fanfics you were reading and confused them with REAL lore

thats definitely what is

[Revolutîon-arathor (Revolutîon)]

Thats fair enough. Personally i feel you should be able to play any race on any faction. Each player should be able to carve their own path in this game, not saying the player base is already divided but loosening up some restrictions on an already very archaic game is a great idea i think.

[Voxbloodhoof-suramar]

We could just go ahead and wipe stormwind from the map . Horde out number alliance. Stormwind on fire doesn’t sound like a bad idea sometimes.

[Sarallesta-moon-guard]

Oh dear lord, seeing more and more threads about High Elves again. Can these topics ever die.

People are free to live the fantasy that the elves of Quel’thalas are in the Horde for any reason other than marketing.

You keep telling yourself that.

[Oshus-darkspear]

it wouldn’t matter, they aren’t called high elves

[Softsong-aggramar (Softsong)]

As Ion pointed out, it’s about faction identity revolving the most popular, and now iconic horde race. Blizzard won’t give the Alliance High elves simply because they’re identical visually to Blood Elves, a stance Ion staunchly believes in. He even half-jokingly comments about giving Blood Elves blue eyes at some point too. The only hope of getting High elves is the possibility that they might join the Sin’dorei as a customization option.

[Allegedly-area-52]

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.

It’s a good thing I’m not the racial leader of the sin’dorei, or you’d spend the rest of eternity, limbless as my wine stool for those traitorous words.

[Dragrosh-emerald-dream (Dragrosh)]

No, too much effort to make them neutral

[Ralanthel-thrall (Ralanthel)]

They we go problem solved everyone happy, didnt even need to add them as an allied race.

More like “50 Alliance players happy; Millions of Horde pissed”

[Zootopia-moon-guard]

No, too much effort to make them neutral

indeed. makes no sense. que void elves. now which high elf thread will you necro next

[Ilidaria-anetheron (Ilidaria)]

Exactly this.

[Aiwyn-the-venture-co]

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.

Does flying even matter in a level 20 and below zone?

That aside, I agree it’s due for an overhaul. I just hope they don’t burn the damned place to the ground when they do so.
