The Horde have been asking for Ogres and Half Ogres for a while now. The Silver Covenant are still with the Alliance. If they release the two Hybrid races together, it makes sense that the Half-elves go Alliance, and Half Ogres go Horde.

And high elves.
I think it makes more sense for the horde to get high elves or customization options of blood elves to be their original eye color back like they stated would happen, eventually.

Which is irrelevant. WoW has a long story of leaders having their own special looks. It might have not been as prevelant with Horde save for Sylvanas, but Velen has always looked completely different. Tyrande got a reworked model and outfit, Anduin has a face no other human can have. Neither of those have a reason to look different other than being leaders, Alleria has at the very least a different method of transformation, so her looking different doesn’t mean the rest should look like her not means they should end up looking closer to blood elves because, the distinctions are in place for a reason clearly.
Perhaps, yes. But also, they were not in Aezroth. Prelates where the first in Azeroth’s history. They are literally the OGs.
Also, LFD were not a thing until Turalyon got his grummy human hands in the entire thing.
It’s just a case human paladins finding out that, after all, they ain’t so special 
Yeah, I did forget about this part. They are indeed supposed to be the elite guard of the empire.
Not exactly. The Naaru are just a side effect of the energy known as the Light, a manifestation of it, but not the only ones that are connected to it. Elune can channel it, and it’s been hinted that Elune could be considered a Loa as well.
Clearly, the same was the case with Rezan. In the book called Tales of the Loa, rezan is called the sun, and it’s been said in Chronicles that the Light is what began giving life to every word… sounds a lot like the sun to me.
It’s all essentially the same thing with a different name, basically.
But anyway, that’s all off topic.
Half elves/Mok’nathal for the next additions, pls.

Are you seriously that bad or something? The Horde already has them. They are called Blood Elves. The ones that call themselves High Elves, are with the Alliance. They’re the ones some of the Alliance playerbase have been asking for.

Blood elves…? That’s not how you spell high elves…it’s almost as if they…aren’t high elves and instead they’re…blood elves?
But you just said they’re with the horde…so, which is it? They’re blood elves or…?
As have the horde.

So, you’re saying that Blood Elves are not High Elves. Cool. So name me one High Elf NPC that call themselves High Elves that are on the Horde.
I want centaurs so badly.
History wise, the blood elves are indeed high elves since it was their name prior to the name change.
In terms of groups now, the high elves are those elves who refused to go back home for whatever reason
Well Half Elves already canonically exist in WoW, Blizz would just need to expand upon them. Not sure if it’d be an issue
Not particularly. Void Elves have proven that it doesn’t take much of a population to become an allied race, theoretically if Blizz created a scenario in which Half Elves gathered in one place we’d have our population. Wouldn’t be the worst allied race explanation, the Horde went to an alternate universe to recruit brown orcs
Would be neat to see. Half Elves would need to take inspiration from both of their parent races
Mok’nathal would be a perfect Horde equivalent for Alliance Half Elves. Half Orc while being a playable version of Ogres
The hell is this post hidden for?! Y’all flaggers are dumb.

WoW went from NazeGermany in Mist of Pandaria to modern day SJW anti racist California/Britain in BFA so I think it could work if they want to.
I would be down for this if they just added them as face options…
There has been a ton of intense flagging going on actually, in a lot of threads, and I do not think it is either Anti’s or Pro’s.
They were mean to me Lorithyn. PUNISH THEM

Why does it have to be a compromise? Why not just give the High Elves instead. Besides, all you have said also work for them
Ahem. Blue hair? Tatoos? Purple or even pink eyes? You can’t give all of that to Half-Elves
We also have four human variants. Another one is about to come. Why hate the elves and deprive the majority of players more flavors of what they want?
So more distinct races that only a few people would play?

At the point we finally arrived at in that story, after reading all the “I don’t care if it was genocide, she has her reasons…she knows far more than anyone else!” and “No, pulling a Dresden on Teldrassil was fine because the whole tree and anything in it was a valid military target!” garbage I was quite ready and willing to let those people all follow her to wherever she went, to not be seen again until 9.0 drops.
Because anything you do for a high elf would need to be for a lbood elf since they’re the same race created by the devs.
Furthermore, it doesn’t need to be, because you can always receive nothing as you have for 15 years.
Sure you can.

For clarity we did have one other Loa we found to have Paladins.
Aye. The light is the light as Talendrion put it.
I meant that the Loa provided the initial use of the Light, for the Zandalari, upon his death it was clear that some retained their connection as their faith was strong enough on its own to utilize the Light.
Humans may or may not have gotten their Light from dreams sent by the Naaru (Lore is unclear) but they are clearly strong enough on their own to use it without them. Same for the Draenei and other races. And yeah Elune can channel it clearly. The Light is a major baseline power of the universe. Who provides you the knowledge and link to it at first is irrelevant except that it may color your understanding of the Light. Loa vs. Naaru for example. Thats mainly a cultural change though.
Yesssss.

We’re talking about the Zandalari at that bit…
