OKAY first of all. Allow me to clarify that I am relatively new to High Elf roleplay. Anything I say that is wrong, or does not make sense, please feel free to correct me. I have not roleplayed a High Elf in 4 years. And even then, I was never really into it - because I did not bother to do the rep grind to unlock Void Elves. I WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO EDUCATE ME. IT ADDS TO MY HE ROLEPLAY EXPERIENCE. ALL EDUCATION OF THE LORE OF HIGH ELVES IS APPRECIATED. I AM RELATIVELY NEW. THANK YOU!
Usually, around the server I rarely see any actual High Elf RP that happens. You would think after people begging for High Elves for so long - and finally getting them in the shape of “Void Elves” with the fair skin and the blonde hair, that they would be more… prominent in the community.
I’ve loved High Elves for a while now, always wanted them, but I was never a fanatic. Never posted on forums begging Bliz.
But I am very interested in the lore of them, and everything circulating and concerning them.
If any Quel’dorei are reading this and thinking the same thing, I would love to make a guild for us to all RP in. Maybe take a venture to Silvermoon. Why not?
I made a guild called Saviors of Silvermoon… or is it Saviours? I don’t actually remember. It’ll show up near my name. I genuinely can’t remember if I spelt it the American way or not.
But yeah. Apply for it through the guild recruitment tab. I’m bored and I need some kind of Quel’dorei RP.
The initial hype has worn off and the people who only had a passing interest in High Elves have now stopped playing their characters. What is left is a more dedicated playerbase, but also a far smaller one.
That said, you can still find plenty of us High Elves in the wild. Those not aligned to Azure Dawn tend to be spread around the world, usually aligned with multiracial organizations. I think that kind of fragmentation of the High Elves is very appropriate to their theme of being a dwindling race and a rare sight in the world, even in Alliance lands.
Please don’t do that though. I’ll applaud any Quel’dorei gathering, and might even attend, as long as it doesn’t go anywhere near Silvermoon.
Again, sounded way cooler in my head - then I realised the majority of void elves are RPed in goldshire to ERP. So gathering a huge number would be very very unlikely, but not impossible. The possibility of the near impossibility drives me to want to do it more. No clue why
Oh, yes, lore accurate is correct. Yes, it is said a small amount of High Elves actually remain.
And so is very much evident since yes, the hype for High Elves has died out. I realise going to Silvermoon with such a vast population of High Elves now would be quite literally near impossible, and it also comes down to personal preference - some people just don’t want to. And that’s totally fine, it’s just not some people’s ideal way to RP since it restricts only Level 60 characters. I mean, a guard will 3 shot a level 50 and 1-2 shot anything below. So yeah it actually is really unlikely which I didn’t realise tbh. I think the idea of it was more appealing but I would settle for anything HE related at this point.
It would take… a lot of geared high elves we’ll say but it would be a really cool event. It’s just hard to find those who are interested in it, and those who aren’t already in a guild doing other things. Very very difficult, chances are very unlikely. But tempting. However still unlikely. Like I said I still will settle for anything HE. Taking back Silvermoon aside.
Even game mechanics aside, realistically, any High Elf force would be instantly zeroed in by Sin’dorei defenders and heavily outnumbered. At best they’d make it to the border between the Ghostland and Eversong before being overwhelmed.
Also it wouldn’t make a lot of sense in lore yeah? There isn’t really a taking back Silvermoon thing. The exile have been rescinded, those who wanted to go back to Silvermoon could as long as they did sincerely (not jumping from a capitale to another.)
The ones who are still High Elves now have chosen it that way.
Back when i played i saw many High elves randomnly walking or role-playing in Stormwind. Stomrwind is usually the place you would find them.
Apart from Stormwind, Quel’danil lodge and Allerian stronghold are popular roleplay areas for High elves, but they are usually scheduled by High elf guilds so you wont find them all the time there.
As for guilds there arent that many that comes to mind, usually High elf roleplayers would join a multi-racial Alliance guild. Azure Dawn is the only one that comes to mind when it comes to High elf guilds and they seem to have a unique lore that against the sterotype of High elves just being a anti-blood elf bunch, which isnt true for all of us.
ummm… High elves are mostly Alliance, or neutral under the kirin tor. After what the silver covenant did i doubt they are welcomed to visit anymore, prior to that Lor’themar allowed them to visit on Pilgrimage terms to the sunwell. But then Alleria came and messed that up too. The windrunner sisters are really problematic xD
Time to pretend to be a Blood Elf then.
All jokes aside, I do really appreciate any and all replies on this topic. I am relatively new to HE rp after… 4 years of absence, so it is appreciated. Thank you.
Good luck and have fun! always nice to see more High elf roleplayers.
Although i do recommend playing a blue eyed Blood elf, if you just want to roleplay in Silvermoon and be part of that society. though you will rarely find anyone that calls themselves high elf there, as they go by “Sin’dorei” Blood elf now.
