OK they look really real. Very extremelly real. But come on, would Blizzard really release pictures? Perhaps they have read all these forums and decided to screw with us, release these pictures so we'd get all excited then, surprise the stuffing out of us with making the new races completly different, or non-existent.

Peace out, Ahldorn

welll.. holy ****.i think its fair to say these pics dont look fake. at all. so, BE then eh? i guess this can end the rumours in a way lol.. i wonder where these pics came from?

The more I see these Blood Elf pics, the more I like the idea of Blood Elves and them being Horde.

I still reckon Alliance is gonna get Draenai.

Sunstrider Isle is in Quel'Thalas I believe Kael'Thas was part of the Sunstrider Dynasty. Some of those areas such as the Black Morass can be viewed in the MPQ with WoWMapView. And the Black Morass was what the Blasted Lands and Swamp of Sorrows was called before the Orc invasion.

The Blood Elf pics just further along the conclusion that its just a quest hub town in Quel'Thalas. And the way some of the models such as the male High Elf are so blocky it looks like those are Beta models from way back or someone has a lot of time on there hands to make up there own models.

sorry but they dont look blocky to me, if anything they look like screenshots from someone with the graphics on mid with filtering on 3/8 of the way up.

For me, the Karazhan pics and Black Morass shot confirms the Blood Elf thing.

The BM shot is likely from the Caverns of Time, as we already know that parts of the instance are going to be Azeroth in different time periods, like Stromgarde before it fell.

And those Blood Elf pics look great.

i'd say it's probably a town off the coast of Quel'Thalas

It's Sunwell Groove which is on that large Island just above Silvermoon in Quel'Thalas. I think...

i just had a thought

what if the expansion + new races all come from the cavern of time? ie.. we keep saying not enough high elves etc, but what if the expansion races start in a different time period, only accessable via the portal both ways?
