Ah jesus here we go again with another topic about High Elfs, they’re VOID elfs for a reason, you and even if this ever were an option, which it WONT btw! it would be like the Worgens, Combat= Void elf, not in combat= void elf, Worgen cried at the beggining, still have gone no where.
Dont worry they’ll have Blue eyes alright.

Not how blizz sees things though when you do the blood elf heritage quest. Pretty sure that’s some high elves there 
Not really. They can’t use the Pandaren this often because they are the most peaceful race out of the playable ones. The whole MoP-story revolved around “walking away from the war”. They were, in fact, a passion project at Blizzard in the past, otherwise they wouldn’t have brought back the Wandering Isle in Legion, the Vale of Eternal Blossom in 8.3 and both the race leaders as ambassadors in this patch.
It is just pretty hard to write a story revolving the Pandaren. They are the least one who would start a conflict.
I meant introducing a playable race that works similar to the pandaren. A playable race which starts neutral but can then choose to go either faction depending on what the player wants, blizzard had a chance to do this with the Nightborne and the Lightforged.
It seems to me that blizzard nowadays are very insistent on keeping a faction identity and having more races which are 100% alike on both sides would shatter faction identity, hence why there probably won’t be playable High Elves on Alliance, or not-blueberry skins for Void Elves.
I can’t find the quote atm and I’m trying to do all the special events today, essentially Bolvar raises the new DKs before Sylv goes to Icecrown. That’s why we have new allied races as DKs. He senses trouble is coming.
I will try and find it quoted somewhere but it was explained at BlizzCon.
You’ve already got blue eyes 
Give Blood Elves Blue Eyes.

The alliance will one day get the Silver covenant elves as playable, you know the elves about which the alliance players dreamed about to get since the WoW introduction.

Got a Source for that? I mean Silver Covenant are just -one- group of High Elves. Its like saying the Sunreavers are a Race of their own…
If the Alliance -do- get High Elves however, we may actually see some showdowns in the Alliance, instead of Horde.
I mean the Alliance High Elves would have lost 90% of their friends because of one Traitor High Elf. Their people learned how to drain mana from living creatures, and they refused to, so were Exiled, because of one Traitor High Elf. Their Homeland was ravaged, all but destroyed, because of one Traitor High Elf.
And then…and then, the Alliance let in a bunch of Ex-Blood Elves, corrupted by the very cosmic powers of Entropy and Destruction, who started down that path by learning from the writings of that very same Traitor High Elf who was the architect of so much misery for High and Blood Elf alike?
Yeah. I can totes see High Elves and Void Elves being buddies (Alleria gets a free pass, as she wasn’t on Azeroth when Dark’han Drathir went all Traitor).
There’ll be blood on the streets of Stormwind, I tell ya!

Silver Covenant wasn’t there back in Classic, as far as I’m aware.
And there’s more: the High Elf ship has been sailing since Classic development. Both factions would’ve had 3 races, and the Alliance races were gonna be Human + Dwarf + High Elf. When they decided to add an extra 4th race, they also replaced High Elves with Night Elves because High Elves would feel too much the same compared to the rest of the playable Alliance races, while Night Elves actually bring something different thematically. That and the Alliance needed a Druid race.

High elves existed within the alliance and Vereesa Windrunner which is now the leader of the Silver covenant since Warcraft RTS games.
Actually from what I know Blizzard originally planned to add high elves as playable to the alliance. About what you saying how they aren’t different enough from the human type of races I disagree. The blood elves were forced and shoehorned into the horde during the TBC because the Blizzard wanted to balance the player numbers in the game between the factions.
I know this, just pointed out that the Silver Covenant faction being there from the beggining is a lie.
Yeah, and replaced with Night Elves.
How can you disagree when they really do look all too close to each other? Dwarves being small Humans, Gnomes being smaller Humans and High Elves being thin, magical Humans.
The Blood Elves for the Horde was decided pretty early. Earlier than the existence of Draenei for the Alliance as the Alliance was gonna get Pandaren instead at first, but even that was (probably) thought of later than Horde Blood Elves.
Not sure I understand what you’re going for with this. But Vereesa Windrunner was a Knaak insert from his book about the War of the Ancients as a trophy wife to Ronin the Redbeard. She only appeared in game during Wrath of the Lich King, same for the Silver Convenant as a whole.
Prior to that neither Vereesa nor her organisation existed in any Warcraft lore.
Furthermore, after the original Scourge campaign in WC3: Reign of Chaos it was said no living thing was left alive in Quel’thalas after Arthas’ passing through and defiling the Sunwell, to resurrect the fallen necromancer Kel’thuzad.
Later, during the Frozen Throne expansion of WC3, Kael’thas Sunstrider returned to his homeland from his stay in Dalaran and rallied the remnants of his people, all of them renaming themselves “Sin Dorei”, or Blood Elves in the Common tongue, in honor of their fallen people.
No where did it mention High Elves there after, or a person called Vereesa Windrunner, or any organisation called the Silver Convenant. The only Windrunners known at that time were Sylvanas(who fell in battle against the Scourge) and Alleria, who went missing in action after the ending of Beyond the Dark Portal, the WC2 expansion…
Just so we’re clear here.

I did think that something was wrong with Vereesa not being there on your post 
I was thinking I was wrong too because I thought she was there before.
It is true though that the Silver Covenant wasn’t present in WoW, not until Wrath of the Lich King.

That before the TBC horde never had in their lines the elves, while alliance had.
Thing is… 90% of the surviving High Elf population was not Alliance either. They were by themselves and were recruited into the Horde in TBC.
