Patch Notes for "The Burning Crusade"?

[swirly]

I cannot imagine why the Blood Elves would side with the Horde.

I was playing my hunter in ratchet today when I did the Guns of Northwatch quest. Now there is also an escort quest that you pick up while doing that one. It occured to me that the NPC that you have to escort looks an awful lot like the Blood Elf pics that are circulating. I also looked at the captain who you turn the quest into and he looks Blood Elvish to me as well. I had always wondered why the horde were helping an elf for that quest, so now I'm wondering if maybe this is a sign that the Blood Elves are already on the horde side. I checked on allak and both guns of northwatch (which comes from the captain guy) and the escort quest (free from the hold) are horde only. Now its possible that these elves are just night elves. I don't know night elf skins all that well. They look different to me though. So now I'm wondering, are there other Blood Elves currently in the game and do quests involving them seem to lean toward either faction?

I would also like to say that while I don't like the idea of the horde getting a "pretty race", I can understand why they would want to give them one. Giving the horde a "pretty race" would help get more people to give horde a try. Kind of like how Pesmerga said that maybe his wife will give them a try with him. I'm sure others would do the same. Something like this may help many servers where the faction ration is heavy alliance currently. With a "pretty race" added to horde things could maybe even out some. I do like how sometimes it feels like the horde has less of the players that we all want to avoid, but maybe its worth giving that up to even up the two sides. This could also help with the complaints about not being able to get into battlegrounds as well. With more even sides there should be more games going instead of having alliance players waiting for enough horde to queue up. So I dunno. I kind of don't want the horde to have a "pretty race", but it does feel like it might be good as well. Of course then it may make the servers where there are more horde than alliance even more one sided.
