Seriously, Drede? The entire race was reduced by 90% - not the Blood Elves.

No, they didnât. They were only exposed to Fel Radiation. They did not change in the process. Maybe you should go read the lore.

High Elves donât count as part of the Blood Elf population anymore. Same with Void Elves.
Player groups are specific ones.
Green Eyes and Redder Skin.
We know how the Blood Elf story went and how they adapted.
Funny when youâre posting on a non-fel tainted Orc with worse racialsâŚ

The Devs know there is a debate going on in the community about it all & I think they enjoy it, the latest glaives showing up with Veressa was them poking fun at it or at the Alliance.
High Elves do count as the Blood Elven population.
During the Third War, however, the high elves were nearly scoured from Azeroth. Led by the death knight Arthas, a Scourge army stormed into QuelâThalas, slaughtering almost ninety percent of the kingdomâs population
Considering they were not known as Blood Elves during the Third War.
When Arthas invaded QuelâThalas with the Scourge Army, he wiped out 90% of the entire High Elven population. Out of the 10% that survived, only 9% renamed themselves to honor there fallen. As for the other 1%⌠Dalaran, Stormwind, everywhere else⌠Who knows what they did to lead them to exile. But hey, they are welcome back anytime.
Funny how youâre posting on a Male Human and care about racials.

Cool! Please tell us all what catastrophic event has reduced the Blood Elf population by 90% which occured post-ScourgeâŚbecause there were no Blood Elves before it.

this is true but we no for sure there at are least over a 150 alliance high elves. I doubt there are than many void elves game scale or otherwise. I would put the number at less than 50.
Which Blizzard blatantly ignored by adding in two completely separate sub-groups of High Elves and Void Elves
Blizzard retconned their own lore on this once by including existing High Elves in WotLK, and then a second time in Legion by having the Void Elves to begin with who, no matter what was you slice it, have less numbers than Void Elves
Void Elves origin having that few numbers pretty much burst the door wide open for HElves regardless of numbers, simply because no matter how small the HElf population is, it is going to be higher than the VElf one

High elves are like vulpera. We all know they are happening without dev confirmation. We just donât know when they are happening.
Keep being in denial people. If that is what gives you peace of mind and allows you to sleep keep on denying reality.
Void Elves are supposed to be exiled Blood Elves who got too much into Void
funnily enough the majority of the high elves we are asking for were not considered part of that kingdomâs population as they lived in human kingdoms or in some cases were already presumed dead at the time because they were in outland.
Canât really tout numbers anymore with the introduction of the Renâdorei.
They arenât part of their population at all now so no.
Player Blood Elves are a specific group made of of Survivors of Silvermoon. As Clarified in Chronicles.
In the Ultimate visual guide Clarified that most modern High Elves are the ones who stayed with the Alliance after the Second War.
This puts into question rather the 1% means all High Elves or just the Exiles but itâs better to air on the side of caution and act as if it does.
Thatâs when Keal Renamed them.
This puts into question your knowledge of lore because it is well known why they where exiled.
They refused to Syphon Mana from living creatures like Vampires.
The only confirmed group to be made up of these Exiles are from Quelâlithien Lodge and most of them are dead now as of Cataclysm.
There is no evidence for this whatsoever. Just that the Sunwell is Neutral Ground.
Dalaran High Elves have been living Separately from Silvermoon for around 3000 years.
Kaelâthas even feared that his people would reject him because Dalaran High Elves where so different from Silvermoon ones and he spent a long time there.
I rolled this character when perception was a thing.
Just pointing out you being a wee bit hypocritical for saying they where exactly the same when your posting on a character whose theme is Not-Fel-Tainted.
Brown Skin could have just been added as a customization for Orcs and no one would bat an eye.
Right, but donât you understand that the Against donât view High Elves and Blood Elves the same way you do. Honestly it seems like both sides are twisting reality a bit to suit their argument. The unadulterated truth is this.
Kaelâthas was a High Elf. (pure) by some standards. They had a war. Lots died. After it was over and they didnt have a well kaelâthas struggled to find a way for his people to survive. At this point everyones either a blood elf or not a blood elf. Because Kaelâthas logically didnât say âWe are now Blood elf, to honor our fallen and at the same moment, here suck on this mana eel.â
Be you a blood elf supporter or High Elf supporter. They are literally the same race only divided by a political stance. So when i see people say they want to play Alliance High Elves the against sees it no differently than asking for its core race. Thats where people seem to be butting heads.
you have only proposed cosmetic changes such as combing their hair the other way and smearing on make up. that is not enough
thats because it IS exclusive to them. blood elves are the high elves, they conform to the most generic fantasy trope in almost every way except your point of complaint, their allegiance to the horde rather than the alliance
development already told you, a light skinned and majestic elf IS a blood elf. since you havent figured it out from the lore or dev commentary ill tell you what this means; when the high elves renamed themselves blood elves, they redefined what a high elf means in WoW. âhighâ elf no longer refers to the ancient race that discovered quelâthalas and the sunwell it refers to a couple minor decorative NPCs standing around in stormwind clinging to an adjective to show political dissent that serve as nothing but a nod to the past now
they will NEVER be an alliance AR because they are already a core horde race. it would imply that there are more then a few portal keepers. it would imply they have equal representation in the alliance as the blood elves in the horde. it would imply they are relevant to the story and require permanent player representation, which they dont and saying other wise is fanfiction. thankfully development recognized this when they addressed the request and told you bluntly
That said, obviously I understand you would love Alliance elvesâŚyouâre an Alliance player, and want to be a fair-skinned, light-haired, blue-eyed elf. Sorry? The Horde is there and waiting for you.

Well, same thing couldâve been done for KulâTiran Humans as well. They couldâve been extra customisations towards the human sides as well.
Who had a one-off creation event and were associated with one particular person
There are always less Void Elves than High Elves, unless this exiled group was less âSmall group of radicalsâ and more like âA significant part of the populationâ. Which the game did not show or imply

Well, the thing is though, nobody, not you, not me, nobody knows the true numbers of High or Void Elves.
Well that is why weâve suggested changes to differentiate them further. They have different views on things and different affiliations, so playing void elves or blood elves doesnât tick the helf box for us.
I appreciate my blood elves for what they are, and would appreciate alliance high elves as well. I appreciate the different paths they took, and want to see more of the high elf side.
Most people wanting Playable Alliance Quelâdorei I have discussed this with, The main reasons are, is they are in Game, The Story Allows its, but the DEVs dont. They are there, they are in game, they are recognized to be politically different, the Devs continue their story along the same storyline. They should be allowed to be playable, it seems more of a ego thing then a actual reason.
