Rather than go out of there way to NOT give us High Elves, Blizz could have introduced the Void Elves as a new faction of Blood Elves that caused an interesting political divide within the Blood Elves and the Horde (rather than just the Blood Elves).
Except, many Blood Elves thought they were abominations (just like current lore) and did not want them to be admitted into the Horde. However, the Horde leadership could not simply turn them away and so accepted them as members of the Horde.
This causes a schism amongst the Blood Elves resulting in many abandoning the Horde and joining the Silver Covenant in the Alliance as High Elves.
Thus we get High Elves and lore that makes sense as well as an interesting political/cultural story to explore.
For what reason? Not even Blood Elf-players want to play these then.
It’s apparent that the idea “Void Elf” backfired for the majority of players and is an actual insult to their subscription fee. Let’s see if Midnight fixes the problem.
They do. But the main difference is that they can interact with Alliance-NPCs, be in their cities and wear some of the Quel’dorei (High Elf) transmog items which are restricted to Alliance-only players.
I always laugh at these threads due to how obsessed people are over a race we already essentially have on both factions, just a different name.
Aka, no, we dont need them, give the race slot to a race that actually deserves/needs it, High Elves might as well be at the bottom of the list in that regard.
We don’t need them, this is quite true. However, the constant provoking tone of Horde-players is a big issue here and how they brand you Alliance-players as not being “real”.
