and theres where the corrupt a wish comes in. sure they were blood elves but they were so niche they were denied many classes and looked like they’d been strung out on drugs. its just not the same. i’m sorry akston.
Yet it’s one of the most played races in WoW.
You may not personally like it. But the WoW playerbase has been shown to love it.
my personal preference wouldve been half elves, with an eye on capturing high elven beauty, with classical proportions but different enough from blood elves, that you could tell the difference immediately. but devs were just not interested in putting that many hours into an allied race. as they wouldve required new animations, skeletons and textures
i mean look at this gorgeous concept art of kalecgos
half elf kalecgos. this guy may have inspired dracthyr
the grace of elves without the exaggerated torsos. but even better eyebrows. hehe
another cool example
