The rationales for third ELF faction:
- issue of non-blood elf horde players constantly complaining about the over population of blood elves in the horde.
… - non blood elf horde players claiming the blood elves don’t belong in the horde. and this is said over and over again, year after year. meanwhile.
… - non blood elf horde players calling blood elves bimbos, vain, barbie dolls, shallow, for years they’ve been doing this.
… - non elf horde players complaining about nightborne elves because they dont want more elves.
… - night elves who are emotionally impacted by the teldrassil genocide, are not happy with either the alliance or the horde. in fact, tyrande has basically already rebelled. also horde leaders are not happy with sylvannas. i could see lor’themar and thalyrssa basically saying - hey lets get outta here
i can see lor’themar viewing sylvannas’ behavior like an arthas flash back. they’ve witnessed her, more than once, kill and/or raise other horde (might be some blood elves in that number and this is what lor’themar had to say about that when she suggested it the first time back during siege of ogrimmar —
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: I can raise your dead, Regent Lord. Your rangers can fight again.
.
Lor’themar Theron says: Sylvanas! You will leave our corpses alone or I will deal with you here and now.

6. the city of suramar is so flippin awesome, i would make a new elf just so i could have it as her home/starting city. new players would be so impressed.
…
7. the population issues (too many horde in usa, too many alliance in oceanic and china)
…
this section below is a repost
if chinese and oceanic have too many alliance and the usa has too many horde, this will solve it all. it’ll pull belfs from horde in usa (highest pop is usa is belves), lowering problem in usa. it’ll equalize alliance in oceanic and china by pulling elves from the alliance.
OPTIONAL ELF FACTION
Tyrande decides to break off from the alliance. at the same time, Thalyssra and Lor’themar have a long discussion about Sylvannas’ behavior and decide to leave the horde, forming a new elven faction in a smaller version of suramar, separated into elf districts (each with their own banners, colors and guards, specific to their race).
When thalyssra hears tyrande has left the alliance, she sends an emissary with an olive branch inviting the night elves to form an elven faction in the nightborne city of suramar. The alliance allow alleria to be entrapped into knifu, essentially sacrificing her for the greater good, causing the void elves to abandon the alliance as well. Upon hearing this, the now 3 elven race faction, invites the void elves.
to keep it optional the alliance and horde would have to nominate new leaders for the vacated spots. so they would still have the option to continue on with the horde or alliance if they wanted to
Into this mix we could add Talendrion’s half elves.
And to whet your whistle… a boat ride thru suramar
