Then what’s the point you’re trying to make? High Elves after Warcraft 3, refer to a very specific subset of the Thalassian race. Those Elves, who we are talking about, ARE the ones who stayed with the Alliance.
And yet, people want to claim that just because someone (The Alliance) HAD something in the past (Blood Elves) it DOESN’T mean they have any claim to it, lol.
I don’t need them to have blonde or red hair, but I would love silver, gray or sky blue. Those are still washed out/bleached/void-y.
Black and white would be quite welcomed imo
orcs were corrupted by fel energies and demon blood TO THE CORE, the entire race was effected by the law of sympathy
saying that is the same to blood elves who were just nearby fel sources and never even use it, is a false equivalence
which part of being similar do you not understand? similar don’t mean the same, just mean they share traits, that is a change by fel energies, but the change is totally different in ttoally different levels
and? doesn’t matter since he existed, its something we had previously, could just mean some high elves came back to the kingdom of quel’thalas from many places, totally vallid
they were in your base and in another map which i don’t remember the name, above the spires of arak i think, they were also with the same blacksmith
but those were blood elves, Sunreaver Frosthand
prove it, silver covenant only became a thing in wtlk, the highwale elves only become relevant in cataclysm
so pls tell me where is this group and organization of elves loyal to the alliance
Yeah, the rest of the time you guys look like blood elves that are going through their tumblr phase.
well no, you dont. the Blood Elves, as in the Elves of Quel’Thalas, were given to the Horde. In a story line that started in WC3 that continued in TBC. I’m sorry if you dont like this story beat but but that’s canon.
Void Elves can now at least look like or be very similar those same elves, cool, which is imo the best compromise to happen. go nuts with them, but saying that Blood Elves getting the blue eye glow that once belonged to them and was told would eventually return as “taking” something will always be laughable to me.
My Void Elf should have tentacles coming out of their eye sockets and a mouth on their shoulder and so forth. Right now I just feel like an elf that fell into a vat of blueberries…
Literally all of World of Warcraft says the High Elves were mostly siding with the Alliance. Those that didnt were neutral.
The Silvermoon elves were originally Alliance. If anything it was Horde taking something from the Alliance first and now this is just the (Blizzard) universe balancing the scales!
Well, I hate to do my ol’ dragging stuff out, buuuuut…
Classic: Blue eyed High Elves specifically friendly with the Alliance and targetted by the Horde in quests, to the point there’s one in Orgrimmar that flat out says “They are not the friendly elves” and ol’ Nathanos himself asking you to murder your way through some of them, which is even called out in a later story as being one of the reasons High Elves won’t reconcile with the Blood Elves
TBC: Only blue eyed ones who show up are in an Alliance town
WotLK: Only blue eyed ones are the Silver Covenant
Cata: Once again, the Horde launches an attack against them, ol’ Sylvannas herself considering them a high priority target in the Hinterlands outside of, y’know, all of the other stuff in the Hinterlands like the Wildhammer
Mists: Absolutely ignites the flames of war between the two sides, with the vast majority being on the Alliance and a single one on the Horde
Legion: High Elves get a specific call out as a separate group
Its almost like the Horde’s at war with these and they’re on the Alliance, huh?
Anywho, Void Elves were a mistake, remove from the game
Well, your character looks like Elvira. 
No, we didn’t. It is impossible for anyone to “steal” anything. We can disagree with choices involving who got what from Blizzard, but to say someone “stole” something is ridiculous, and makes you look overdramatic. Lets avoid such nonsense.
Telling the high elf community “No” for a decade worked well enough. They could have just done that.
The blood elves didn’t want blue eyes. The blood elves wanted san’layn customization. Which we weren’t given.
Just for the record: You are calling what the DEVELOPERS said to be a “false equivalence”. Though I do love your trying to change the term “extremely similar” to mean something closer to “vague resemblance”, lol.
That’s a very funny statement from someone who is upset at me for stating that WE had certain things before the Horde did. Touching very much on hypocrisy, in fact.
In my base? The ALLIANCE base?
The blacksmith with blue eyes was a very specific and special case, as stated by one of the writers at Blizzard. There definitely weren’t other blue eyed Blood Elves around him.
Ah, yes. The very same NPC that I’ve seen linked in the past. Currently the model has PURPLE eyes. So, kinda tough to call on that one.
So, your whole reliance on this argument is “They don’t count because they weren’t relevant.” That’s pathetic. The Highvale Elves were still there in vanilla, whether or not you think they’re relevant.
In the Burning Crusade, the exact same time that the Horde received Blood Elves, the Alliance High Elven stories tried (and failed in your case) to show that there is a difference between the two groups.
We don’t in your mind simply because you don’t accept that the High Elves which have been Alliance aligned (easily provable) exist.
And in a story that started in Warcraft 2, and continues on to this day, the Thalassian Elves are not a monolithic race. The story does NOT just belong to the Blood Elves. It belongs to the High Elves, AND to the Alliance (and now to the Horde).
I agree with most of your post except this part. The void elves are now as much part of the lore as anything else. Personally I am hoping we get a “Darkshore like” questline in the future that will just allow us to customize the elves further and just allow them to carry the high elf monicker.
Oh Zerde Zerde, you’re still pretending WC 3 Never happened, I see.
Just show some Void Elves joining the ranks of the Silver Covenant. Problem solved.
And you are pretending all of Vanilla-current lore didnt happen.
First I’m seeing this but so many people do that it seems
Yes, one high elf asking you to fetch bear rears it’s relevant.
You know that classic servers are a thing now right? You actually see several high elves walking the streets of Stormwind. You have several lodges of elves friendly to the Alliance and hostile to the Horde.
And at that point in time the blood elves were actually neutral. One of the first blood elven npcs are in The Blasted Lands and they give quests…to both factions!
But they are blood elves.
They came from Silvermoon, left the city after Sunwell changed from arcane to holy, as their search for the power of the void was a threat to Sunwell. That is why they cannot return to their brothers and sisters who were the reason why umbric and his 40 blood elves crack squad left their city to venture in search of a corrupt power to share with their people.
