This is another place where there was a race, High Elves, in the game which hadn't really been represented on player characters. Blood Elves were the closest, but had felt green eyes. It was an opportunity where we had a number of elven races, and we could tie it back to their roots, letting players choose where they want to align and what fantasy to play out. We did have a lot of discussion about it, ultimately we might do more in the future, but for now we're providing the option to have a few High Elf customizations available.
but if you think it's wrong that I use this thread then I'll make another one that says high elves horde
Let's not be obtuse.
With Dragonflight, I do think they are going to tell the High Elf story through both Blood Elves and Void Elves. They carry different angles on Thalassian Elves.
The Night Elves also make the Hinterlands High Elves moot because everything those high elves do, the Night Elves do it better.
The Alliance gets the Horde's most popular race. The Horde should get the Alliance's most popular race in return. Alteraci Humans for the Horde!
I make Warcraft 3 Reforged custom models that intends to fill the gaps in the Reforged campaign

And yet this thread clearly still is about High Elves as part of the alliance, not the overall race. Wouldn't be having this issue if a thread was about Alliance Pandaren?
The fact that after years, now somehow people are having trouble understanding this is an alliance high elf thread, is just kinda weird.
And I'm being genuine about that, we could have a thread about Thalassians in general, I'd be into it, but this thread specifically was never about that as it focused since its inception heavily about high elven playability on the alliance.
*sigh*

I'm not the keeper of this thread so where it ends up doesn't fall on me, and truth be told I really have no deep skin on it.
But it is weird that what once a thread about alliance alligned thalassian elves has become this.
Like yeah, I'd rather have a thread for all thalassian things, as I do love Blood Elves, and I did liked the specific purview of this one. But again, if this thread becomes that, it is what it is.
It hasn't been an Alliance specific thread for about two years , because a handful of high elf posters literally spammed threads everywhere, until the whole thing had to be contained into a single thread.
So in essence high elf posters couldn't behave themselves and had to be put into a corner, so now everything relating to high elves gets to be posted here and I can assure I personally will make sure we don't return to the damn dark ages of active high elf threads everywhere made by the same 7 people.
