but but, that big blue thing with hoofs that looks kinda like a demon is hot!
And aren't Night Elves suppose to be a bit xenophobic?

The girls are hot! plus that long life span might mean they have had too many arguments to remember each one!

But what is with space goat males and Nelf males for that matter! Far too.... ape like for my tastes!

Worgen? Not so much due to their essential humanity. THey'd be feared more really..

Night Elves don't really travel to EK (By Lore) very much however i'd say that most Soldiers had met High Elves in their time and wouldn't struggle to make the leap but keep suspicions.

Well, It's a walking wolfman, That would be considerable hard to get use to. Espically with worgen; amidst human culture taught to children as the monsters under their beds.

Naw, Vect. Seen their anime haircuts? They're most likely into hentai anyway, they have a thing for wolves. Very Happy

Nope. We should have gotten an update to Forest Song, but didn't. Sigh.

About the only thing we got was a small quest chain in Swamp of Sorrows.

Indeed, that was a missed opportunity.

They simply tread a higher plain of existence, from us lesser mortals can only look upon in awe. Like this fine fellow. Very Happy

Aye, rumours and (some not so) tall tales of wolfmen in the forests of Duskwood should have spread throughout the Alliance kingdoms over the years so there should be considerable stigma attached to Worgen in general and for some time to come.

There's an NPC in The Blasted Lands that more or less says "I know we're allied with the Worgen, but there's no way I'm letting them get close to me. The Draenei were bad enough as it is."

I assume he's not alone in his opinion.

by **Saevir** Sun Jun 26, 2011 11:45 am

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of members of the traditional eastern kingdoms Alliance were wary of even the Night Elves, fundamentalist zealots (of a different religion) that they are.

by **Dréfurion** Mon Jun 27, 2011 5:56 am

Kaldorei were pretty xenophobic in the warcraft 3 times,

Tyrande: "So these Orcs and Humans presume to run rampant in our lands? They will regret ever stepping foot into Ashenvale. We will establish a base and deal with these outlanders as they deserve."
(In all honesty, the greenskins had sorta killed Cenarius at this point, so they totally deserved to die)

There's also Tyranda saying "Fuck no" to Furion's plan of befriending aforementioned outlanders:

Malfurion: "So, the outlanders battle the undead as well? They could prove powerful allies against Archimonde and his ilk."

Tyrande: "They are mongrels and nothing more! They are responsible for Cenarius' death. I will be damned before I stand with them!"

I think it's just a blizz fail that you don't see Night Elf xenophobia more, especially since they still put it in their official race description.. Atleast we have the Winterblades! It's another fail we don't see Tyrande be as savage anymore..

As for humans, I think they would look upon the Night Elfs as being rather savage, also they would be suspicious I reckon, just because humans tend to be when someone has diffrent ways from their own.

Also silly racist humans, stop calling us flappies, it's gotten old and lame.

I'd question even this point, since Cenarius and the night elves he seemingly commanded attacked Grom's lumber operation without any form of warning or attempt at diplomacy at all first. Some would argue that sort of entitled the orcs to fight back.

Thinking about it, it seems to me that the whole reason that the nelves allied with the humans afterwards, but not the orcs, was that they'd rather not have the people that just helped save the world live anywhere near their territory. The humans had a place to go back and live in, so they were fine, but the orcs were pretty much stuck at that point, and instead of trying to work out the issue peacefully, the nelves settled for initiating what would be a down-ward spiral of mutual antagonism and revenge.

Ah yes.. The bounce.. Well I don't play female.

Which is only furthur evidence for their xenophobia.. Although again, the Orcs were chopping down trees, they were commiting a serious offence ofcourse.

by **Kristeas Sunbinder** Mon Jun 27, 2011 10:54 am

Isn't pretty much any ing a tree, an offence?

by **Magaskawee/Anaei** Mon Jun 27, 2011 2:07 pm

The rest of that post of questions is actually really interesting.

Tells us that that trolls, the aqir and the faceless ones existed BEFORE the Titans came.

That there are no more spellbreakers because Kael'thas's betrayal caused the order to reject new pupils in sheer disgust.

That the Forsaken's ships are dredged from the sea floor meaning even their navy is undead.

That the sin'dorei are pissed off that the kaldorei allowed the Highbourne back into society but are using the amateur magi's magic signals to track the alliance movements.

Oh and that the sin'dorei will have blue eyes 'eventually'.

"The lone squad that remains now exists as a relic of a bygone era, as the Spellbreakers have refrained from training any new recruits since Kael'thas's betrayal."

Sounds to me more like there are just a couple left and it wouldn't be practical to restart the training.

Aye.. I know it's not relevant here. But seen what we get in 4.2 for opening maps and mail?

So uh, are we now to assume that female Draenei and Blood Elves are simply incapable of roaring? :p

And uh, as expected, they're all pretty wank beyond the Worgen/male Goblin roars.

by **Magaskawee/Anaei** Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:47 pm

The roars made me lololololol. CLearly Female Belves and Dranei are too lady like to roar..

It all sounds like surprise sex.

Up the bum.

And they like it.

by **Neyvin/Noxie** Mon Jun 27, 2011 4:05 pm

So why is everyone going RARARARRRRRR except for the Belf and Draenei going "Blahblah IN A VERY LOUD VOICE" ? That's just weird.

Tho yay Worgen one. Gonna run around doing /roar all the time after the patch.

by **Teebo** Mon Jun 27, 2011 6:09 pm

By the Sprockets! Some of those screeches are enough to send anyone's auditory receptors into meltdown! The female dwarf and both gnome roars are alright at least.

Just surprising that they've taken this long to activate them since most of them have been in the game files since like forever >.>

You can listen to them in-game right now or macro them to abilities by copying and pasting the following into your chat box:
