Just from reading the answers and opinion of others I wouldnāt say itās āpopularā. If you know what popular means.
People are mostly disagreeing with you and saying mostly the same āif you want high elves, you have blood elves thereā.
As mentioned, I agree to add more customizations to existing void/blood elves, but not creating a separate race, since as many claimed it makes no sense at this point.
Might be true, or they might just reconsidered reasons why your post was flagged.
And just one thing - youāre claiming that ātens of thousands of people want high elvesā ā¦ I think this number is strongly exagerated, considering the post and answers are mostly from the same people again and again.
Even ethereals, Amani, ogres or gnolls are requested as playable races, but you donāt see having plenty of active threads.
Youāre always saying that people are hating high elf fans, but well if people are consistently opening new and new threads with same topics and proposals you canāt act surprised people are being fed and annoyed by it.
There is a megathread ongoing - why not post it there?
You created during Gamescon (which you bumped now after 20 days of inactivity) a thread with mostly the same approach as you created this one. And when people ask you why you do this, youāre being the one going into insults other people on forum.
I wish, one day you will get the customization you want for your favorite race.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there was a Senior Developer recently on Twitter who engaged lenghtily with a thread of High Elven requests, and with one comment being āAs I told someone else today, if you want to have high elves, keep making that opinion known!ā - which is exactly what people are doing lately.
Itās a pretty good indicator that itās not as set in stone as youād like it to be. But I guess youāre not that in touch with reality, given how you were very heated in arguing thereās hundreds of thousands of RPers around.

I donāt think that bubble is burstable, Heramaar is probably right about the āfor nowā part, think about it for a moment, blizzard is already struggling adding full fledged new races, they made allied races cause it was too much of a hazzle to create 1-20 lvl starter zones and now thats just a normal feature for new races to not have a lvl 1-20 starting zone experience that introduced the player to unique lore tied to the player characters race.
Weāve had 3 neutral races back to back, only one has a fully rigged unique model on an existing skeleton, dracthyr to this day have to shapeshift to a belf m / human f in order to play around with transmog.
First there is the question if blizzard will ever add a non neutral race again, high elves arenāt neutral, they have neutral high elves that exist in the story sure, but neutral in gameplay is what Iām talking about and neutral in gameplay is, youāre not really neutral, you just get a choice of paint for your roof and you canāt switch after choosing, ever.
If itāll happen, very unlikely in midnight if we go by how much time they tend to put into newly rigged races and they would have to create a new race for H side as well, the only real logical candidate as an opposite to high elves just got the high elf treatment: becoming another races customization options.
As long as the only races they introduce are all neutral tho, thatād be really bleak for helf
We also had some (Senior) Developers on Twitter from Blizzard a few weeks ago publicly celebrating a celebrity shooting in the USA with implied tweets.
If I were you, I wouldnāt take twitter arguments and talks for āofficial statements and decisionsā unless they come from the brand account of a cooperation.
It is very likely that was just some Senior Devs personal opinion expressed, likely from a Dev who hasnāt a say in the matter.
Edit: Just to point at another such thing, back when Helldivers 2 was new, someone from the hired Moderation team of Arrowhead Games posted that players should keep giving the game negative reviews so they can use it as leverage against Sonys region ban/lock for the game employed. Needless to say, the person was laid off quickly after that, despite saying some merit of truth.
Thank you for your support and for such a vivid and important example from the developerās Twitter

So if there is an equal number of no high elf opinion, then what? the eternal stand off continues?
I donāt think folks have actually thought through the implications of that twitter post.
Firstly, let us assume that the reporting is accurate as we donāt have a source. After all, a source is handy for, oh I donāt knowā¦say if someone declared that High Elves were being added in 12.1 and they added little celebratory emojis afterwards and they included a link to a videoā¦which turned out to be Maria Hamilton explaining High Elves would get SOME story time this expansion and that our hypothetical poster had entirely lost the run of themselves. Thatās why sources are handy.
I would appreciate a source, but of course if we donāt have one all we can go on is what we have been told.
So letās take this developer at their word as described. They are encouraging folks to let their voices be heard if āthey want High Elvesā. Some are taking this to mean that thereās a chance, and perhaps there is. But if High Elves havenāt been ruled out then what this developer has admitted is this.
They havenāt been ruled in.
Which means all the speculation that Alliance High Elves are going to be a major patch feature in Midnight is for naught, particularly when you know that Blizzard likes to talk about how the developers are already having meetings for 13.2 to show just how far ahead they are in development. You donāt just add an allied race on a dime. Introductory content has to be built. A Horde equivalent created. Itās not an āoh we better do this due to all the talk on the forumsā process.
Our developer, taken at face value, just ruled out the possibility of Alliance High Elves during the one expansion they COULD make narrative sense and we know that stuff making narrative sense is importance, hence the Haranir.
Itās hard to imagine them justifying Alliance High Elves when we return to Northrend or if we go galivanting around the Arathi Empire.
That of course is IF this developer knows what they are talking about and that they actually have knowledge of this part of the design and are not, say, a zone designer unfamiliar with what is coming in terms of races.
Once again, if I see another post from Kaeros, itāll just be the same old āblah blah blahā all over again

So youāve no position then on whether this developer either is speaking in a personal capacity, in which case Alliance High Elves are as unlikely as they have always beenā¦or they are genuinely admitting they havenāt been chosen yet, meaning they wonāt be in Midnight?
Either way, not a good outcome for you.
If they going to add new races to game again at sonepoint i rather see those be really new ones not another copy of blood elf just named to high elf what all these high elf posts actually want added to game. Just add same customs to void elfs what blood elfs have and move on

In the time I have been back on the forums and debating for High Elves or more customazations for void elves, there is always a group of people here who will shut it down.
But they will cite anything Blizzard said, Blizzard did state that more costumazation is a good thing.
If high elf wonāt be added as a playable race at least open the door for costumazation for those that want to realize that fantasy through Void Elves or Blood Elves as it stands.
Which is by standard hypocritical.
The Argument Against Alliance High Elves
The primary argument from players (including many Blood Elf players) against playable Alliance High Elves has long been about maintaining faction uniqueness.
The argument is:
- Blood Elves are the most-played race on the Horde.
- Their visual identity (the āThalassianā elf model) is a core part of the Hordeās aesthetic.
- Giving the Alliance a race that is biologically and visually identical (High Elves) would dilute the Hordeās identity and make the factions feel less distinct.
- From a lore perspective, the Blood Elves represent the main body and future of the race, while the Alliance-aligned High Elves are a tiny, scattered remnant, not a full-fledged playable race.
The Charge of āHypocrisyā
The hypocrisy argument arises when the āfaction uniquenessā standard is not applied consistently.
The Case FOR Hypocrisy:
- Void Elves: Blizzardās ācompromiseā was giving the Alliance Void Elves, who use the exact same character model as Blood Elves. While initially distinct with void-themed skin and hair, Blizzard later added normal skin tones and hair colors (including blonde) and blue eyes. A player can now create a Void Elf that is visually indistinguishable from a High Elf. The āvisual uniquenessā argument is now void. A Blood Elf player who was against High Elves but is fine with these new Void Elf customizations can be seen as hypocritical.
- Nightborne: At the same time Void Elves were added, the Horde received the Nightborne, who use a modified Night Elf modelāa core Alliance race. A Blood Elf player arguing to protect their āunique modelā while their faction received a copy of an Alliance model is a clear example of a double standard.
- Pandaren: The Pandaren race is available to both factions, setting a clear precedent that a raceās model and identity can be shared without ābreakingā the game.
From this perspective, the āuniquenessā argument was never the real issue. One would say the real issue was simply āwe donāt want the other side to have our pretty elves,ā which is a matter of faction pride, not a consistent principle.
The Case AGAINST Hypocrisy:
A Blood Elf player might argue their position is not hypocritical by focusing on lore and identity rather than just visual models.
- The āWe ARE High Elvesā Argument: This is the most common counter. The Blood Elf playerās position is that they are the High Elves. Their race is High Elf, just renamed. They are defending the main story and population of their people. They would argue that the Nightborne are a different case, as they are a biologically distinct offshoot of Night Elves (transformed by the Nightwell for 10,000 years), not just a small political splinter group like the Alliance High Elves.
- Original Void Elf Distinction: Many players were fine with Void Elves as long as they were visually distinct. The hypocrisy claim, in their view, should be directed at Blizzard for adding the High Elf customization options later, not at the players who argued for uniqueness from the start.
Conclusion
So, are they hypocrites?
- If a Blood Elf playerās argument is āThe Alliance canāt have our model because visual uniqueness between factions is sacredā: Yes, that position is hypocritical. The existence of Nightborne on the Horde and the current state of Void Elves on the Alliance completely contradict this.
- If a Blood Elf playerās argument is āThe Alliance canāt have High Elves because we are the High Elves, and that is our raceās central story and identityā: No, that is not hypocritical. It is a consistent (though debatable) argument about lore and racial identity. They are not arguing about a model; they are arguing about a name and heritage that they believe belongs to their faction.
I for the first time ever added one person to my ignore list on the forums, purely because there is no way to have a constructive debate with that individual. I am open for constructive debate, but if Iām not able to have that, Iāll move on to those who are willing to work together to find a middle ground thatās satisfactory for everyone. So itās not about censorship, itās about moving on when the ship has sailed with that individual and reach out to those are willing to have a constructive debate.

Youāre assuming I was fine with Void Elves receiving normal skin tones. I was not, nor was I fine with the Horde receiving Nightborne or the Alliance getting Void Elves. But I learned to tolerate them as the compromises they are, particularly given that Void Elves very clearly arenāt standard Blood Elves (they bleed purple) and the use of normal tones on Void Elf NPCs, making it clear still transformed Elves are still Void Elves and not a vector for High Elves.
Secondly, I suspect Nightborne exist solely as Horde compensation to justify giving you Void Elves in the first place. Likely without the intent for a sub-race system, mentioned by Ion in 2014 during the WOD days, theyād have been normal Night Elves. Besides which, as you neglect to mention, Nightborne have been moved as far from Night Elves as possible in terms of theme and substance. Night Elves are wood dwelling forest elves who use nature magic, Nightborne are arcane using city dwellers. Void Elves similarly are as different from Blood/High Elves as it is possible to be whilst retaining a similar model. As stated previously, they bleed purple, have void racials and speak with a reverb.
The Pandaren example fails becasue, for the umpteenth time, they were conceived of and introduced as neutral and yet Blizzard cited faction diversity as the reason Alliance High Elves were not added in 2018. It is amazing to me that you keep citing a race that was created for wholly different circumstances as some kind of precedent when they later justified that Void Elves were created, and Alliance High Elves not added, for faction diversity reasons.
And I suspect I am that individual so blocked. So be it. The first sign of an echo chamber is when you construct one to block out what you donāt want to hear. You define āconstructive debateā as trying to find a āmiddle groundā whilst the very core of your argument is how all the compromises made via Void Elves supposedly show the hypocrisy of my side of the argument. The hypocrisy is yours for your sheer greed. You are playing the middle ground right now. This very second, and there is no hypocrisy in saying āno, I donāt think you deserve any more than what you haveā. The sheer entitlement of imagining the purpose of this discussion is to find a way to give you what you want considering what you already have.
