This is literally why the Alliance should have High/Blood Elves and not the Horde.
HORDE THING!?? Since when does Vereesa Windrunner belongs to the Horde, since when does the Silver Covenant belong to the Horde?
Jesus. Do some basic research. Nobody is asking for damn Blood Elves, we want High Elves, Blizzard can make them different enough, all that work that went into making KulâTirans should have into making a new High Elf model.

They tried that with Void Elves. It made no one happy.
They could have given us the classic tattooed Elven Ranger look. Instead they just play with the hue/saturation slider on Blood Elf skins and put in zero effort.
Thank you based nuBlizz!

This. The only problem needing solved is Alliance players and their faction envy. Always crying about horde having better elves, mounts, story focusâŚJust roll a horde character if you think itâs so much better on the other side.

does any dwarf group have a long and rich history with the horde that predates wow? no? wow what a dumb comparison!
we will always fight for high elves, no matter how uncomfortable it makes hordies feel, and no matter how many ad hominems they throw at us. they are getting quite desperate with their arguements for them have to resort to that ![:joy:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/joy.png?v=6" ":joy:")

yes, especially for something that doesnt even affect them. go ahead, tell me how adding playable high elves to the alliance will hurt you. iâll wait.
Not that Iâm against giving alliance the appearance option, but to make a High Elf race would take away from other more interesting projects (like actual content). I also wouldnât like killing BElfs or them killing me, but I honestly wouldnât care beyond my 1st point and they do that anyway since itâs easier to create more races than to design actual content.
Also, do we need more elves?
I can fix this entire thing and give the Alliance something they really want with one suggestion:
The Forsaken should eat the High Elves.
Just have Sylvanas kidnap every single High Elf on Azeroth, put them in a pit and let the Forsaken go to town. But not her sister. No, she has to watch and she becomes the last High Elf in existence. And just to add insult to insanity, Sylvanas has her sister sterilized. She goes back to the Alliance as the last and only High Elf.
Now, the Alliance gets a concrete reason to kill Sylvanas and the Horde has no qualm to let them have her. Plus, no more arguing about High Elves! Even the Forsaken get a win. Free food!

Still waiting for Eleroleronâs reply!
Blood Elves were designed for the Horde.
Chris Metzen, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2005, 1:55 ⌠'Blood Elves were chosen as the Horde expansion race in the Burning Crusade because designers were thrilled with how well Samwise had redesigned the classic wood elves with the night elves. And they knew that, âone day, high elves are going to have to get a facelift, too.
âI donât think anyone has abused high elves to this degree,â Metzen said.
Players surprised that the Blood Elves would have any interest in joining the Horde donât know everything thatâs going to lead the groups to joining up.
âMagic is absolutely corrupting. You shouldnât play with it.â In the wake of the destruction of the Sunwell, the high elves of QuelâThalas turned to demonic sources of magical energy to feed their magical addiction (which was thanks to thousands of years of constant exposure to magic, even for the high elves who didnât practice magic themselves). But messing with âfel energyâ is scary stuff, and it frightened the other races in the Alliance. âDwarves and humans donât want to hang around them. Theyâre not returning their phone calls.â
But the Blood Elves âcould care less, theyâre going to do whatever they have to do.â And thrilled by this new, seemingly endless supply of powerful magical energy, the Blood Elves have a unique take on the shattered planet of Draenor, now known as Outland. âThey view Outland as an Eden. ⌠Their homeland is great, but Outland is where their destiny is.â
The Blood Elves will leverage their relationship with Sylvanas, leader of the Forsaken and the former Ranger-General of QuelâThalas. And more importantly, the Blood Elves will not come to the Horde, hat in hand.
âThe Blood Elves are going to bring something to the table the Horde canât do without.ââ

Gladly.
- It will be dismissing the entire story point of the majority of highelves becoming bloodelves, simply by supplying the Alliance playerbase the same concept just blue eyes. I know for a fact that a good majority of Helfers state that Bloodelves are indeed not the Highelves and consider those few outliers out their as âthe legacy of Quelâthalasâ and âtrue heirsâ. Herein lies the problem. To give this concept is not only to dismiss the Bloodelf story but also spit on the years of story progression.
: - Bloodelves are a unique concept to the Horde, one that Metzen worked on and was proud to reveal. They are not as monstrous or savage as the others, but it is what is within them that defines their link. They pushed away from their once passive ideals to a more aggressive one, focused on making a place for them in this world at whatever the costs. They represent what the Highelves became. Grabbing that and tossing it to the AllianceâŚbut without the entire struggle, is basically stealing the concept from the Horde.
: - Precisely what do the Highelves have to offer other than âthe same elves but friends with Allianceâ? Nothing. There is no unique concept, no progression to another purpose, nothing of interest. If something was addedâŚthen the helfers would riot. Why? Because it isnt the highelves THEY want, which is the same story, but elves with blue eyes. .on the alliance

The high elves went through their own problems when the sunwell was destroyed and solved them in their own manner. That spits on blood elf story the same way any other race antagonizes another. High elves already exist, do you feel like a victim because they simply exist? This makes the story more interesting than anything else, and does nothing to hurt you.
Now you are dismssing the high elf struggle, where they broke away from the rest of their kind because of past allegiances, and dealth with the problem without resorting to fel energy. Blood elves represent what the high elves became, and high elves represent what they always were. Thank you for highlighting the vast differences.
The same thing theyâve added since before wow and even blood elves existed. Stalwart allies, masters of arcane, skillful rangers. A loyalty so fierce that they choose to break away from their brethren. Unyielding loyalty is what defines the high elves. And its why we will never stop fighting for them.
