Just because you dislike retcons doesn’t make them canon. Doesn’t matter anyways. Most high elves becoming blood elves is from Wc3. Sooooo… In fact in Wc3 ALL surviving high elves became blood elves. You were given surviving alliance high elves only in WoW.
I bet the RTS games also don’t count now to them.

Tbf, most of the events for Warcraft 1 and 2 have been heavily retconned.
Didn’t they immediately contradict this later by giving Void Elves High Elf customization? Making everything they said here moot?
Way to go, you got an offhand comment from an interview talking about something completely unrelated that later got backtracked…
Says the one telling me the lore is entirely decided on deleted and retconned crap.
None of it has been deleted. A website not working isn’t lore being deleted. You are being willfully obtuse.

they did not retcon the alliance high elf presence from that stance

No they were in one country. Quel’dalas.
The original numbers given were original population of high elves 100,000. 90,000 give or take was killed by the scourge. 9,000 renamed themselves blood elves to honor the dead. 1000 (most of which weren’t in Quel’danas at the time) kept the original name High elves many being neutral or alliance. The alliance ones weren’t in Quel’danas because they didn’t agree with their government leaving the alliance after the second war.
Also Silvermoon isn’t “one tiny city” it’s the largest high elven city. Canonically it’s much larger than dalaran. The explorable city we have is literally less than half of what it should be and it’s been established in game cities are mostly much bigger in lore than in game. Silvermoon city is massive and the majority of the population was there albiet not all of it which is obvious.

But the game is crossfaction now! It’s time for Void Elves to return home. I expect Blood Elves will welcome them back with open arms? After all, they are kin.

Open arms as in gunshots.

It was literally REDESIGNED and REMOVED.
What are you smoking? “The website isn’t working! It’s not Deleted!” It’s not working BECAUSE IT WAS DELETED AND REMOVED.
Stop trolling.
They did though, they literally said that was the reason for Void Elves being “voidy” and now you can customize your “void” elf to be a High Elf.
Do you people need to be spoonfed by the developers to understand something?
Why would you shoot your family members for simply wanting to return home?

It’s a website. They move things around the site all the time. Has nothing to do with the lore change. And until you produce some updated official source, it is as they’ve last stated.
You wanting to act all crazy about the lore doesn’t change it.

Depends on what they did.
All Void Elves did was try to come home. I’m not sure that is on the same level as Kael’thas.

Cool so the warcraft tabletop RPG is still canon then? Medan? If Blizzard hasn’t outright said “Well yeah that’s no longer canon” it IS canon?
Sounds great let me go look up all the stuff they deleted, removed, and quietly got away with, and proclaim that it’s all canon because Horde players cannot stand the idea Blood Elves are not the only High Elves left.
I don’t know about ever. Probably a lot more in the second war. But after the second war they were all recalled home. 1% of the population refused the order. (therefor traitors themselves) and stayed in other nation states such as lorderon, dalaran, or stormwind.
Whatever Blizz devs say is still canon is. And their lore for Belves vs. amount of Helves is still canon.
You will just have to deal with it until it changes again.
