That’s precisely what I like about Orgrimmar.
Orgrimmar shows a complete lack of city planning and the Orcs’ life philosophy on war.
Don’t tell that guy Elrond’s last name, I don’t want him to downgrade Tolkien to fan-fic author, I couldn’t bear it.

Totally agree. I played alliance with friend that got me into wow, but found out my dagohir friends all played horde, so i went horde on lightnings blade with them, where pvp balance was very clise to
50/50. I loved the quick bg queues for horde.
At BC launch, I recruited 3 brothers, and siL, and my daughters and neices played. Kids were only about 6-8 yrs old. But it was ok all playing together. SiL and daughters would only play BE. I tried to play both factions, but server was so imbalanced, my alliance toons were uplayable getting ganked seconds after rezzing. So we all mainly just played horde, even though i preferred alliance. I went back to alliance more later, after gankers got bored. This toon was an orc originally.
Pretty sure I’m not the only one that came to this conclusion but whatever you invalidated all your opinions with me in the Tinker thread so not gonna waste any more time interacting with you past this.

Thank you for being a perfect example of somebody who hasn’t actually read Tolkien.

Also in thralls self discipline. Gazlowe said he could have built the city even more advanced than the humans but Thrall said no, as repentance for what the orcs did when they were all demons suckers.
Don’t remember you but if you have thoughts like what you thought OP was saying, then it couldn’t be good.
? Elronds literally name is Elrond Half-elven. He literally has man blood and elf blood. What are you on about?
Dude is like the poster boy of half elves in fantasy.

This is facts. The lore on how they are able to become paladins in BC was ruthless and belonged with the horde lol wish they just would have kept it that way

technically no he wasnt half elven his great great grandmother on one side was luthien who her self was have miar and half elf. her great great grandfather was human. the otherside it was only 1 generation from that being human and elf. so he was more like 35% humans 15% miar and the rest was elven. far far less human than elf.

The point is, there were only 3 elf/human relations over the course of 6,500 years, each of which pretty much involved divine intervention and was a central event of the (very long) storyline.
Making a half-elf wasn’t something any old human & elf could do.

I’ve always wondered what it would be like if the game came with a third faction (illidari) made up of blood elves, naga, “broken” dreanei (like akama) and maybe fel orcs? (Or possibly forsaken then give the horde ogres instead?) where horde had Shamans and alliance had paladins the illidari could have had demon hunters.(A scaled down version of the demon hunter we know today of course as this would have been in 2004 lol)
Would have been cool to see Kael, vasj , akama and illidan in their own capital cities and have them develop more throughout wow
In Blizzard’s hands, it would have been miserable. Blizzard can’t even tell stories for two factions, let alone three.

also the big issue was when humans died they left arda forever while elves just got a new body in the hall valinor. the issue with elves and human relationships is the offspring do not inherit the lifespan they may live somewhat longer (execpt in elderscrolls universe they the bretons live shorter lives) its one concern aleria had with being with her man if xe’era wasnt there he would have been dead long ago.

It also ignores that every single half-elf had to choose one or the other.

I mean, if we are splitting hairs, that still makes him half elf.
Good thing it is just a fantasy staple in all fantasy genres with their own rules. Nothing fanfiction about it.
I think it’s supposed to. It’s a warrior city as stated in rexxars campaign in Warcraft 3
to bring the half elf thing to wow alot of players have this belief that elves only live like 4 to 5 thousand years and from what i am reading right now the Mother of a now forsaken elf named Lorash sunbeam was born before the sundering and was one of the exiles and she died in the scourge invasion and from the story she wasnt a magic user(to a big degree like the mages) but an average civilian.

Also Tolkien’s elves, while immortal, didn’t really do much. Just sat around for centuries, really. And didn’t have children very often.
And then we have WoW, where even if their lifespans were just in the centuries (which they aren’t; they’re much longer), if WoW’s elves shack up as often as the Windrunner sisters do, elves would have long ago overpopulated the planet.
