That’s true all hubs are shared.
But in my opinion if they would really go the route of taking silvermoon as a neutral hub they should at the same time take an alliance city as a neutral hub too or since no one needs two hubs at the same time they should immediately abauncr that a alliance city will have the same fate next expansion.
Otherwise it will just look like blizz punich the horde in a time where many that don’t like how close the factions got already have the feeling loads of things are alliance centered
Sure, one for one make sense (but if you count the Night Elf “capital” then you already have one, two with Telogrus but I hardly would call that a city)
Ironforge or Exodar would both work
Well or Draenei city-like structurr that replaces the remains of the Exodar (would make sense if they would have their own Argus style/crystal city), with Shattra we saw it works
Not to mention the Draenei are welcoming they wouldn’t mind, they are buddy buddy with the Blood Elves and responsible of their newfound light addiction…
They are forgiven even the Orcs’ deeds - I think - and the Man’ari
I honestly do not count that as a city.
There is nothing going on it’s a bunch of huts.
But a draenei city could be nice to be honest. After tww I’m done for now with dwarf
The Draenei worked together with the Blood Elves on the shattered sun offensive back in the burning crusade, there are few other instances of it and in the same expansion scryers and aldors weren’t getting along
Also the light is not addictive.
Where do people keep finding this lore
Can’t blame you
Every cosmic power is jelous and addictive
Especially for the Elves who are like sponges and soak them up
Just look at the alternate draenor and yriel.
They are fascist and light crazy you can’t tell me that that stuff isn’t addictive to some degree.
Edit: Page reloaded and changed my reply to field to an edit field
Something something no indication that cosmic forces have the sentience to experience jealousy, light picks no favourites when two morally opposing wielders (argent dawn and scarlet crusade for example) are fighting eachother.
Fel is addictive and corrupts
Arcane - I don’t know mr Blood Elf, tell me…
Light that empowers the Sunwell now?
The Dracthyr literally have a mini quest line to supress their void whispers with another addiction
We love it when the page asks for a reload and turns my reply field into an edit field…
Please reread my comment because at no point did I claim those two are not addictive, I only made the claim for the light that it is not addictive.
Maybe respond to other peoples arguements instead of what you think their arguements are.
Is not addictive, but it is convincing. The lights “corruption” for lack of a better term manifests in self righteousnes, not addiction.
Whispers are not an addiction, they are an affliction.

I would argue the amount of self righteousness and feeling of superiority it gives you with it’s powers since most people believe light always = good and right is what makes it addictive

I disagree because those that are shown to lose the light do not show any signs of withdrawal, while those who are shown to lose both arcane and fel are heavily depicted to the point that we have 2 races whose introduction to the game as a playable race revolve around it, but I can understand the thought pattern. Becoming either withered or wretched is nightmare fuel for an elf.
Maybe Blizzard intends it to be, but they’ve never shown it like they have for say arcane and fel in spite them having had many oppertunities to do so.
I would say light definitely doesn’t has the same effect on your body like arcane or fel has that is true but I would say the effect on the mind is the same.
All that power and the self-righteousness. If that fades away the user will long for the lights touch. And if we look at the alternate time line there the light gave birth to a crazy fascist cult that trys to indoctrinate or eradicate every one that isnt part of them.
But to be fair that scenario is also not developed enough to make accurate assumptions. Maybe it’s not really the light but something else that acts as if the light
If you give me an example of such Forsaken, I would try and give you my opinion.
Lillian Voss is not such a character, in my view. Despite not officially joining Forsaken, she conveniently focuses her hatred only on Scarlet Crusade, having no qualms whatsoever with the Forsaken, who reanimated her and caused her misery in the first place.
Her hatred forwards Scarlet Crusade is understandable, but, given circumstances, she should be hating the Forsaken (or at least the ones responsible for reanimating people against their will) even more! Just like Sylvanas’s hatred was firstly forwards the Scourge and Arthas and only secondarily to the Alliance, so should have been Lillian’s hatred firstly to the Forsaken and secondarily to the Scarlet Crusade.
And in BFA it gets even worse. Just as Sylvanas becomes a WoW version of Hitler and starts massively resurrecting her fallen enemies (Night Elves and Kul Tirans to lesser extent), forcing them to fight against their former brethren (100% Lich King Style), not only Lillian Voss does not object, she actively assists Sylvanas in her atrocities.
Can you give me some names or quests to check this out? I am curious to learn about this rebellion.
Also now that I mentioned BFA, there was actually an interesting Forsaken character, Thomas Zelling. He was a minor character, his story was short and tragic, and yet it was quite sympathizable and much better written, than many more “important” characters, including Lillian Voss. But alas, he was promptly murdered by Sylvanas’es bootlicker.
First you appeal to the time period and the second post you say time doesn’t matter. My toddler nephew makes better arguments than that.
Absolutely, this is an area of speculation. An alternative potential ally for Blood Elves could have been Argent Dawn, but even in the best case scenario AD would’ve probably provided less aid than the Forsaken due to the limit of their resources.
The short-sighted isolationist policy of Anasterian Sunstrider had led to a poor reputation of Quel’thalas among Alliance races, and thus blood elves would’ve had hard time joining Alliance. Even the horde accepted Blood Elves reluctantly and you should thank incompetent Anasterian for this.
Having said that, nothing prevented Blood Elves from leaving the Horde later when the faction started to show signs of degeneracy (e.g. Garrosh attacking Gilneas without provocation or Sylvanas raising the dead against their will).
Lore wise you are right. But as this is a game and not a book or movie it would be strange if our races would just switch sides.
Maybe if we were adventurers working for the highes bidder/our own agenda that could work. Not being bound by the factions and there story would also open the door for more horde Vs alliance conflict where actually something could happen and lands could change without one side feeling like they lost due to story writing

Yeah, unfortunately, these are the game design limitations.
That’s an interesting thought.
No. Get out.
I don’t like that guy but that’s overstepping boundaries.
