Yep the new exp is coming out.
Horde will get the blood elfs. I think alliance get the panderans not sure yet. But I sure do want to make a blood elf war on some horde sever they look sick as fuck.
Old news!
But yeah, a lot of people have been bitching about Blood Elves being so much like the Night Elves and they should have implemented a more unique race. I think it's kind of funny, seeing as they are an entirely different race with highly contrasting histories. They may look a lot alike, but they are much different races.
I really don't care which races the factions get, because I'm not too much into the whole Warcraft history/lore thing. I play a human because I think they're the best looking race (females, anyway). I don't play them because they're some unique race in Azeroth or something like that. I know it's pretty shallow (at least in that sense), but I don't mind. I also play a Human Priest because they're the best Alliance Priests (other than Dwarves... but who wants to play a Dwarf? They look like shit in cloth
).
