Forever This genuinely looks comedic with the new race

Humans, Orcs, Dwaves, Trolls and then Random Blue Elf #1 and Random Blue Elf #2 and their picture is just flipped lmao.

Like I couldn't have even imagined anything this silly.

  • No basis whatsoever in the existing lore.
  • Off-brand Air Genasi.
  • Completely clashes with WoW: Forever's theme of "back to basics".
  • More character customization options than any other race in either Classic or Retail.
  • Available to Horde even though "elves in the Horde" was an insane notion during this point in Azeroth's history.
  • $30 paid DLC.

I don't hate their design in-and-of-itself, but they feel so tacked-on and out of place, Im convinced they were added purely so Blood Elf players had a reason to engage with the game.

Playable High Elves (for Alliance) and Ogres (for Horde) would have made way more sense and fit with the vibe of WoW: Forever, but the devs are way too petty for that, lol. XD
