A new race, is this a joke?!

Based on the above, a reasonable estimate for the high elf population in Quel’Thalas before Arthas’s invasion is approximately 175,000 to 225,000. This accounts for the 90% loss during the Third War, the subsequent blood elf population in the tens of thousands, and the presence of high elves outside Quel’Thalas. The range is speculative due to the lack of precise canonical data, but it aligns with lore descriptions and fan discussions.

-90% = 17500 - 22500 Blood elves

-90% = 1750 - 2250 High elves in the alliance

Its not necessary to create a new allied race for ~2000 npc lorewise

These 2k and players who use the smurf elf model should faction change and join the red army

Or stay humans pet in the alliance
