My belief is that the Blood Elves will get the Hunter class : see [1] --Kirochi 19:42, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)

Rangers have always been an elf thing, so it's likely. --Kakwakas 23:19, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)

Still no explaination :\

I've been pretty ticked for a while that we still have no explaination from Blizzard where the Burning Crusade BEs were when the rest escaped (FT made it look like they all did) or why the Horde is letting them in even though they're allied with an agent of The Burning Legion (which they might not know, so I can let that slide).

I guess you can come up with all sorts of theories, but its still irritating that they've done so little to explain themselves.

Especially after a post like this from an MVP.

...

Well, because of Blizzard's decision not to have their archives saved like every other forum, ever, the thread is gone, but basically Palehoof admitted that the primary motive for adding BEs to Horde was server balance by giving them a "pretty" race. And now they're not making any sort of attempt to justify this lore-wise, which really hurts Blizz's rep in my eyes :\

I for one think being able to play as Illidan's faction (BEs, Naga, Draenei, Satyrs) would've been the coolest thing ever, and reworking the game for a third faction would make things so much more interesting in PvP.

Thoughts?

Here's the way I look at the Blood Elf dilemma. First, they were all High Elves. Then came the Quel'thalas genocide. Of the remaining High Elves, a portion opted to become Blood Elves. Same race, different faction. Of that faction, a portion (that led by Kael) chose to follow Illidan. Thus, only that portion followed him into Outland, leaving other groups of High and Blood Elves on Azeroth. The Blood Elves that stayed behind are the ones that rebuilt Quel'thalas. Personally, I find it illogical to assume that EVERY SINGLE Blood Elf followed Kael and Illidan. So, the ones that are going to be playable in BC are the ones that stayed behind and had no affiliation with Illidan what so ever.

Blood Elves, Draenei, Naga, and Satyrs would have been an awesome Team to play as, btw.. --Anticrash 12:23, 1 Feb 2006 (EST)
