WoW is a game with a lot of narrative. Games and narrative are art. Art is a reflection of the human condition.

Couldn’t you wait until I fixed the typo when my dyslexia kicked in?
And fiction is fiction and not real life too.
The same factors don’t apply.
It looks like people may be able to pick their body hair. Get ready for locker room 2.0

No, I’ve been working all night so I’ve had like 4 red bulls.
In SLs? I’d be so down to make my priest smooth as a nut.
Of course they do. If narratives had no sense of humanity in them then they would fail. And we do see alot of the human story in WoW. Political upheaval, wars, forbidden loves, atrocities, etc…
All of it, even the magic and fantastical beasts are a reflection of human stories, human experiences.
In subtext, not in text.
I really hope this is true, because this warrior could really use that.

Well, kinda funny how high elves had green eyes, so I guess blood elves just need blue to complete the set of natural eye colors they should be allowed since they are high elves

I can see this I am Filipino/Korean/German which is random but it is what it is. But I really relate to asian food and culture, and have always considered myself Asian American, and food is definitely the first thing I can relate to someone over.
Oh sorry I thought your point was that this made them enough of a different race, I forgot that I have to be specific. People, race, species. Whats the difference in this context? Your argument was that this differentiates them enough to be their own separate thing I thought. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I came in halfway and may have missed some context.
That’s what the concept art suggests. Look at the dwarfs.
Yup, that image is going to stay with me for a while.
You have my number. 
On July 4th 1776 , Americans were no longer British. They were Americans. They’re biologically the same race, but they are strictly different peoples.
That’s not how culture works mate.

The colonists were already pretty different. They had been established for a long time. Alliance high elves haven’t and they abandoned their people over a battery and a diet. The American colonists were far more dynamic. Indentured servants, escaping religious persecution, slavery, ect.
Not least because they were multi-ethnic. Let us not forget that New York was previously Nieuw Amsterdam, the largest Dutch settlement in the new world.
And Alliance high elves have what, 30 years?
You’re not wrong.
There’s far too many nuances, completely different ones as well, that can’t be applied to High elves.
Is the problem when trying to use RL factors for fictional characters.
Are you… trying to compare people becoming independent with people simply honoring those who died…?
This is why real life comparisons don’t work…
the dalaran high elves were mingling with humans for about 3k years. long enough to have diluted their bloodlines. when elisande said that to the quel’dorei, there could have easily been as many half elves in attendance as high elves, under the quel’dorei banner. its just that blizz hasn’t differentiated half elves yet. even arator is just a belf model.

The Colonists had already become rather different culturally from Britain over many years before they declared themselves a separate nation. Many still to this day just see em as Europeans invading another peoples land though. >.>
Aye, using this for WoW just doesn’t seem to translate well. (probably why the devs went with Void Elf haphazardly to get it done).
