Lore wise, to everyone that has more then 1 brain cell they would make sense to add too, just hoping one day in the future they are released.
Sorry to jump on this of all things, but I kind of agree. Â I play both factions, and tend to lean towards Alliance, but having the Elves join the Horde annoyed the everloving Hell out of me. Â It wasn't just that one of the pivotal races of the Alliance ended up joining their bitterest enemies for a VERY inadequate reason, it was that, for the poor Horde, THEY'RE STILL MISSING ONE OF THEIR OWN RACES! Â Seriously, I can understand the Alliance getting the Elves because they don't have anyone else, but outside of the Elves they have the entire Alliance (Humans, Gnomes, Dwarves).
The Horde, on the other hand, finally got their Goblins in Cata, but I'll be eternally annoyed that they got Elves instead of Ogres. Â Ogres are all over every expansion of WoW except the last, they were an original Horde race! Â Instead, they sent one of the Alliance races over and still haven't gotten around to adding the Ogres back into the mix. Â It's a sad state of affairs.
I still love World of Warcraft, but I remember that being eye-roll-worthy during Burning Crusade. Â "Seriously? Â The High Elves go emo, call themselves Blood Elves, and join the Horde? Â But not Ogres (or at the time Goblins)? Â Seriously?"
Maybe that's why I lean Alliance still even though I play both. Â You could see them trying to make the Horde a prettier faction, or at least hoping to give them something less ugly. Â Interesting choice for your ugly faction.
We'll see how it goes.
