Alliance is still missing its Wildhammer, high elves, frost dwarves, Furbolg, Jinyu and Ankoan.
All of them are already a part of the Alliance.
Horde still missing their ogres, Raventusk, Taunka, mok’nathal, Hozen, and Kelfin.
All of them are already a part of the Horde.
As much as I’d love Alliance Sethrak they would either go Horde or neutral as it is now.
Not really sure there are strong cases for either side for Saberon, Naga or ethereals either.
Good options though.
Speaking of these, I just made a new thread to discuss them, hopefully peacefully this time heh.
edit scratch that, half elves not high elves
Saberon would be 100% Horde-material. The Alliance should have received the Furborg, Jinyu and these bird creatures by now. I’m not sure if the Alliance can take another cheap race (Frost Dwarves) at this point, they need more original races for the next decade.
Eh. I’d prefer the Saberon be alliance. Even if it does break up the cats and dogs fight.
So happy with what we will get at 9.1.5
The OP asked me to bump this topic
My take on it: those requests are specially relevant now that the new expansion’s alpha comes closer. The devs say they are considering new race/class combos. It is our time to fight for void elven demon hunters, paladins and more.
I do disagree however in saying that blood elves are high elves. High elves are only playable on the alliance, blood elves are not high elves due to the fact that this term in modern wow doesn’t refer to a species, but to a group within a species.
For the silver covenant, and for the alliance.
Blood Elves are High Elves and playable on the Horde.
“We must put this misery behind us. We must enter a new chapter! And so I say to you that, as of this day, we are no longer high elves! In honor of the blood that was shed throughout this kingdom, in honor of the sacrifices of our brothers and sisters, our parents, and our children, in honor of Anasterian… as of this day we will take the name of our royal lineage! As of this day, we are sin’dorei! For Quel’Thalas
-Kael’thas, Blood of the Highborne
Void Elves are also High Elves, and are also playable on Alliance.
I declare myself to no longer be human. Doesn’t change the fact that I am indeed still human.
I’d disagree on this one tho. Void elves, as a ‘‘player race’’, can be high elves, as the devs have said the normal skin tones were added to fullfill the high elven fantasy. But as a lore element, I believe void elves have evolved into another species
‘‘High elves’’ does not refer to a species anymore. It used to be that way. Isn’t the case no more.
No actually, I disagree, because in lore, there is nothing to say they are another species, let alone, another race.
Absence of evidence doesn’t mean evidence of ausence though
However, I’ll no longer insist on this topic, as I mean no friendly fire to my fellow quel’dorei.
This is purely subjective. Objectively Blood Elves are High Elves and if the name High Elf had any relevance to the player it would be listed as such instead of Blood/Void. But as it stands Blood Elves are modern High Elves as they control the majority of the modern culture and home capital that the High Elves created in Silvermoon. Being on the Horde does not change or take away from this at all.
rebut my evidence then
No, they are the same species as high elves (probably). Not high elves anymore tho
It isn’t listed under the blood elven player race because they (sin’dorei) aren’t high elves. And it isn’t listed under the void elven player race because they weren’t intended to include high elves. That changed however.
That’s non-sequitur. They might be political/cultural successors to the old quel’thalas kingdom (along with the silver covenant). Doesn’t mean they are high elves
They literally said the same thing about the blue eyes on blood elves, in the same statement.
Link me the interview. As far as I know, that isn’t the case.
It’s literally in the game. Pretending it’s not there is a “you” issue.
They are High Elves and have always been.
Again, you’re choosing to purposely ignore what was added because it debunks your argument right away. That is why your opinion is a subjective falsehood when the objective truth is obvious to everyone else.
They are the majority of the High Elven Race. Blood Elves are the modern High Elves. The very minor group you insist are “true” High Elves is a super minority living in the past.
If it’s so apparent, it must be really easy for you to show it to me, right? Show me.
Prove it 
It is literally objective, cold hard facts though
And?
