Ahem, Blood Elf Male has a realistic physique similar to Olympic athletes in our world. Looks wiry, but not Anime.
Human Male has improbable physique and bulking muscles to look super strong. Sorry, which was the Anime race again?
Someone hasn’t been keeping up to date with current events… Tauren and Orcs have seen a big upswing of numbers, Trolls will too.
Hmm, no, actually, I think you’ll find most people who play Blood Elves do so -because- they are in the Horde, at least on RP realms, as both you and I are, so I would have expected you to notice that those who wanted pretty elves but to be goodies have already rolled Void Elf. Also if you think the Horde is defined by being ugly and barbarians, then I would suggest you actually do a little research into what the Horde -is-, but we both know that won’t happen. Gnarly spikes and looking monstrous does not a Horde make.
I don’t think Hypocritical was the word you were looking for there. I mean that literally (in the correct sense of the word) makes no sense in that context. I’m not sure what word you were looking for, but Hypocritical certainly wasn’t it.
Is that why we have Forsaken without bones showing? Why we turn into Gravestones and not Skeletons when our characters die? Why we don’t pay a subscription in the same way? Wise up. The Asian game is a franchise, they pay for it differently, the models look different, and due to cultural taboos certain mobs and bad guys aren’t even in the game. Do you have any idea how different it is from the EU and US version? Or how many changes implemented in the Asian version -never- come across to our Version? They’re practically different games in all but name.
They conducted a poll, and on the strength of that introduced Blood Elves. They saw how popular the race was and implemented them on the US/EU version Turns out they were right. People did like playing a different type of ‘evil’, one with a less monstrous and more ‘human’ face. Its almost like all our examples of ‘evil’ from real life have been humans, and people were influenced by that. Shocker.
I doubt it will be that funny. I mean for a start that would imply that 70% of Horde players main Blood Elves. Which is not true. It also implies that people are incapable of making characters of other races. Which is not true. Most people, though I suspect you are not one of them, are perfectly capable of distancing their character from themselves, and creating a character of another race, and enjoying it that way. I mean I have Elves Night and Blood, Humans, a Gnome, a Goblin, a Tauren, a Troll, a Forsaken, an Orc, a Draenei, Worgen, Dwarves. All sorts. Most people are not trammelled by just playing One race, or even One Faction.
Plus there are many for whom Classic just has no appeal. I remember Vanilla. It was a mess, and as a roleplayer, I couldn’t properly enjoy myself knowing I was playing in an unfinished setting that didn’t accurately represent the game world.
I doubt it will be ‘funny’, especially not for Classic fans. If, as you say, people miss their Blood elves, Draenei, Worgen, Goblins, Pandaren, and all the Allied Races as much as you think, then that is a large loss of players, which makes it more likely that Classic will tank after an initial surge of interest.
Personally I think that as most people are mature enough to be able to create characters of other races than their favourite (I realise this may be an alien concept) that it will not tank, but will drop down to a lower level when the nostalgia wears off, but then burble along quietly, like a Low Pop realm.
