How big is the Void Elf Population?

[Stelio Kontos]

Could also be a tongue-in-cheek joke about how many folks are rolling Void Elves.

I'm seeing them everywhere.

[Vargulf the Happy Husky]

Somewhere in the range of "no business being a playable race."

blah blah blah

how u gonna feel when alliance gets upright standing orcs?


OT: id push closer to a 5000 elf mark. gotta imagine silvermoon has at least 100,000 elves living in it, so for a 20th of that to break off makes sense to me

The Alliance is on their last legs, champions! Our tactics have wiped out more than half of their soldiers!
They cannot press their assault forever. Stay strong!
Lordaeron belongs to the Forsaken! Do not back down, heroes!
The Void Elves... they just... their numbers are endless...
We must have faith in the Warchief, Lorthemar.


Looks like Void Elves will be decisive to get Lordaeron back

I wonder if they summon a bunch of goop.

[druenos]

Who voted for over 100k lol

It probably is over 100k, but the question is meaningless, is it USA or EU, or is it worldwide, considering a couple of million probably bought the pre order it's not too much of a stretch of the imagination that over 100k of those players made a void elf, I know I did, it's at level 60 but I really cba atm to level past 60, it's mind numbingly slow.

[Zulkhan]

Incoming salt from Void Elf haters.

It's hard to be salty rather than die from compulsive laughter.

"Endless" numbers. ENDLESS.

I mean.

LOL.

Like I've been saying all along, Blizzard has been going through efforts to show they have numbers.

The best part is, there's no language barrier in canon or the game between Blood Elves and Void Elves. Not only can you kill them, you can tell them how bad they are while you're doing it.

[Aucald]

Void Elf recruitment drives must be a sight to behold - I'm imagining Umbric and Alleria gang-pressing the remaining High Elves to undergo the treatment. That would be for an interesting development, though I doubt many of them would be very keen - who knows, really?

Blizzard is brainless. They can't even be bothered to make a little bit of sense. But sure, a little part of the Blood Elf population consist of endless numbers of elves. Makes so much sense. How are Void Elves increasing there numbers? Do they just spawn from Old God flesh like the Faceless Ones? Good lord, i know what is endless, Blizzard's stupidity and "I don't give a fuck about logic and lore at all"- attitude.

Well, the line of text lacks context - first time I read it I read as the Void Elves having infinite numbers. But the way it is parsed (and paired with the line it follows), you could read it as the Void Elven regiment being overrun by the Horde, who appear as the endless ones in this specific context. No idea how it will actually play out until we can really see that part of the scenario.

They probably breed like rabbits and can relatively accelerate their growths by spending years of training inside the Twisting Nether

Joking aside, probably what @Aucald said.

"Get out of here you emo swine"

It turns out that there is a perk to Demon Hunters being Blood Elf-only. I get to trash talk people who rolled Emo Elves in WPvP!
@Aucald
It's a possibility, but given the sentence structure, and Blizzard's horrible history on population numbers, I really don't think it's a 50/50 thing.

[Deleted]

It could be Blizzard hyperbole again. But the annoying part remains. They just don't think about the details and fuck their own world, which gives me the impression, that they don't care about it, especially in detail. Wastes a lot of potential, which makes the whole thing sad. And they couldn't even bring the whole "Gameplay before Lore" argument. This is just a brainless sentence to generate hype which makes zero sense, i fear.

I doubt even that would realistically justify "endless" numbers, unless they reproduce like Warhammer Orks.

Either that or Void Elves use their powers to induce twisted visions in people's heads and make them see shit that isn't real.

It would be funny if it is an illusion, and Lor'themar figures it out when he's like "Wait a second, there's only like 20 of you, when I had you exiled fuck off."

[Deleted]

Should be around 100 very small population.

I mean, maybe I'm stretching it but "endless" is just too much of an overblown word. I mean, when Blood Elves as a whole could ever pull "endless" numbers out of their asses? And now Void Elves should be able to do that? Void Elves, the Blood Elf rib (+ 5 High Elves maybe)?

I mean, numbers are rarely consistent in Warcraft but in this case we're really walking into some over-hyperbolic territory.

[Yunara]

There are high elves in the void elf starting area, which does imply that at least some people are interesting in joining who weren't part of the original fiasco.
