High Elf customizations are a better overall option for both factions These characters are not High Elves, with the specific story and lore of that group of survivors.
You’ll be playing a Void Elf, not a High Elf, with the racial abilities and starting experience of a Void Elf.
Just like if you make the exact same choices on a Void Elf. But with the customization options in Shadowlands that will make it possible for Blood and Void Elves to basically look like High Elves, we now have to wonder - does this change really count? If you roll up a Blood Elf and choose the options to have blue eyes and darker skin, are you playing a High Elf? But they didn’t, and I’m not getting the sense that Allied Races are going to be a big feature of the game going forward - it was added for Battle for Azeroth, got some late options for Legion that existed to bridge the gap between expansions, and it definitely doesn’t feel like we’re going to see more of them going forward, at least not as many as we have since the end of Legion. I would have been thrilled if Blizzard had done that. Okay, first off, I love the idea of High Elves as an Alliance Allied Race.
