Ogres for the Horde and High Elves for the Alliance! It's pure logic!
Ogres for the Horde and High Elves for the Alliance! It's pure logic!
Do not forget that the High Elves still have a bastion in Greenwood, where they are regrouping and waiting for Alleria returns to lead them to glory along with the rest of the Alliance.
Panda's weren't that far stretched, i think some tinfoil-hatted people guessed them becoming the next race. Pandaren also fill the role of neutral starting faction and opened enough doors.
With HE's it's actually just the ones in Dalaran that are safe, HE's are physically addicted to Arcane-magic, which limits their doings lore-wise way too much. HE's are among the races that currently has the least chance of getting to be playable... Sporeggar are more possible than High Elves :3 Not to mention that they are often described as being above the Horde-Alliance conflict. And if that wasn't enough, Alliance just failed negotiations with Belf's which most likely more than discouraged them to try more stubborn HE's
They nearly dwell in Arcane at Dalaran, and Kirin Tor might be able to provide some form of continuous-magic, so that they wouldn't dip too deep into withdrawal.
And about the Greenwood. I didn't even know it existed :3 Good bit of lore. But the High Elves there might have suffered the same fate as the ones surrounding the Lodge. The place's destiny seems to be open. Exciting ;3

Took a 10-month-vacation from WoW for the first school year... So me lore could be a bit rusted. HE's being stubborn is something that i picked up from what i've read of em. (+ The Lor'Themar's story on the WoW's Lore section) But meh... They still feel too close to Blood Elves... But let's let the time tell :3
Edit: Guess twice was it within the minute i send this that i remember the Sunwell-bit :/ Also, i've been using WoWpedia, which actually seems to be more lackluster in terms of lore :/ :/

I would prefer they give us something new rather than a race we have already seen.
Oh God not another one.
How about Ogres for the Alliance and High Elves for the Horde. Think of the advantages. The Alliance gets a big, chunky, ugly race that fills a niche they don't currently have, and given that the Elves are already Hordeside Blizzard is halfway there.
Ogres for the Alliance!
I found leaked concept art of the female tol'vir.
Here it is.

Northem you keep posting that link to Greenwood and I keep posting the link to www.fanfiction.net/game/warcraft
Greenwood doesn't exist.
It's your personal fantasy you are projecting onto the game.
Stop treating your fanfiction as canon. Let's treat my fiction as canon instead. The Great High Elf plague.
In the Great High Elf plague, a sickness befell all the remaining High Elves. All one hundred of them were struck down. And their unicorns. And they all keeled over and perished, even the Unicorns,except for Veressa because she is needed for future stories to give Jaina someone to hate the Horde with.
And that was the end of the High Elves.
So I can't understand why you talk about Greenwood, when as I've clearly pointed, all the High Elves suddenly and tragically died. You can't say it didn't happen. I believe so strongly that it did that it simply must be true, and I will treat it as canon from this point onwards.
Nobody knows what is there, but you're almost certainly right.
But our resident High Elf cheerleader in chief has projected his fantasy of a thriving High Elf colony where the Elves are real Elves, statues of Alliance hero Anasterian Sunstrider dot the streets (as Northem tells it, Anasterian the beloved is second only to Anduin Lothar himself in terms of how much he is loved by the Alliance. And all he did was send the minimum High Elf force to help the Alliance he felt he could get away with and left the Alliance upon the first half justifiable pretext he could find. Yeah, they were REALLY central to the Alliance back in the day) and unicorns prance merrily in the many green meadows the Scourge somehow missed in the middle of their genocide. As per Northem's vision, these High Elves do not mince, do not hold pride parades, and are all VERY strictly manly and noble. They aren't lascivious or sexually ambiguous like the Blood Elves (the last are references to genuine Northem statements. He thinks the Blood Elves are a bit too gay for his tastes).
