so this was a new expansion, right? anything worthwhile in it, and how much did it cost, 20 bucks?

CaptainBubba · #**1382**

Blood Elves are horde because they allied with the naga and illidan and are no longer trusted by the alliance because of their dangerous lust for magic.

This is not the expansion and costed nothing extra.

ok, so i had to read up to figure out what this recent patch biz was all about. did the queue changes fix everything i hated about the BGs, or are there still shitty 1 hour or longer waits to get into team-based pvp?

AChimp · #**1384**

The long queues were only because people on both sides weren't signing up. They've lowered the starting number threshold, though, so games will start much quicker. Also, it definitely helps to be Horde on most servers if you want to play BGs.

Arathi Basin are the fastest and always seems to have lots of people playing in them. Once you're level 60, that is. Lowbie PvP blows.

I haven't waited longer than 5 minutes for an AB match. Usually it tells me I can enter in about 10 seconds.

see, I played Frozen Throne and all, but I still don't see how the Blood Elves are Horde. being not Alliance doesn't make one the Horde.

or does it in WoW?

if it does, I'll have lost any interest in playing it at all.

The Horde is an alliance of convenience for all but the orcs, tauren, and trolls who are in truth allies. The Undead and Blood Elves hope to get mutual benifit from their alliance with the Horde but have no true allegiance to their allies.

Its not that hard to understand and fits fine with WC3 Lore. Factions and races re-alligned all the time in the game and alliances were formed for what people saw as their joint interests, so why would it not happen now?

Pretty much every dungeon with humanoids is a good example of Not Alliance but also Not Horde.

What side are omni-tek and the clans on, though?

Dr. V · #**1389**

The Blood Elves and The Forsaken also have a big thing in common, hatred for the scourge.

where is any of that in the story? where I left off, Arthas had merged with Ner'zhul and became the new Lich King, leaving him in effective control of Lordaeron, Azeroth, and the like. now, why would he ally himself with the Horde in far off Kalimdor? and the Blood Elves I might understand, since Illidan lost to Arthas, but why the Horde? why not return to the Alliance. Blizzard has just become lazy.

eggyolk · #**1391**

most people assume its because the horde doesnt really have a "pretty" race. heard the alliance might be getting drenai

AChimp · #**1392**

Arthas is most certainly not allied with the Horde. The blood elves hate the Alliance now for not putting enough effort into defending Quel'Thalas.

You're forgetting that WoW takes place like 5 years after Frozen Throne, so lots of shit happens in between. Plus, it's Blizzard's game and they can do what they want. If you're going to get all fired up about blood elves being part of the Horde, then there's a million smaller things about the game that will also piss you off.

I'm still not playing this game.

However, I have a speculated return date of June 2006. Hopefully, my library of games will be mostly filled with beaten games, as opposed to still-in-shrinkwrap-or-opened-but-I'm-just-kidding-myself games.

I hate all the stuff I'm missing out on, though. Halloween and Christmas really bummed me out, because those are some kicking rad events.

Edit: From the WoW Site

Thousands of years ago, the exiled Highborne landed on the shores of Lordaeron and founded the enchanted kingdom of Quel'Thalas. These high elves, as they called themselves, created a fount of vast, magical energies within the heart of their land - the Sunwell. Over time, they grew dependant on the Sunwell's unstable energies - regardless of the bitter lessons they'd learned in ages past.

During the Third War, the villainous Prince Arthas invaded Quel'Thalas and reduced the once-mighty realm to rubble and ashes. His undead army decimated nearly ninety percent of the high elven population. In addition, he used the Sunwell's energies to resurrect Kel'thuzad - a powerful undead Lich - thereby fouling the Sunwell's mystical waters. The few elven survivors, realizing that they had been cut off from the source of their arcane power, grew increasingly volatile and desperate.

In the midst of the elves' darkest hour came Kael'thas Sunstrider - the last of Quel'Thalas' royal bloodline. Kael, as he was commonly known, knew that the remnant of his people would not long survive without the nourishing magics that once empowered them. Renaming his people blood elves, in honor of their fallen countrymen, he taught them how to tap into ambient mystical energies - even demonic energies - in order to sate their terrible thirst for magic. In search of a new destiny for his people, Kael'thas ventured to the remote world of Outland where he encountered the fallen night elf, Illidan. Under Illidan's tutelage, Kael and his blood elves have regained much of their former power.

Unfortunately, the blood elves' practice of embracing demonic energies resulted in them being shunned by their former comrades in the Alliance. Thus, the remaining blood elves on Azeroth look desperately to the Horde to help them reach Outland, where they can reunite with Kael'thas and achieve the golden destiny he promised them.

Arthas is not allied with the Horde. Sylvanas and The Forsaken are. Remember they regain their free will and rebel before Arthas reaches The Frozen Throne. It's a flimsy affiliation, just like the Blood Elves' affiliation with the Horde will be.

Downed Broodlord Lashlayer tonight. Paladin loot drought in progress, sadly
