Y u no like male belfs :< I honestly think they have a better complexion and the duel looks more engaging, also because females are the top dogs in night elf society while the blood elf one is traditional - that means these genders are the most likely ones to fight in the frontlines. |

There ain't exactly much difference. It is rumored that all elves are able to live for a thousands of years before dying of old age, and don't give me that agespan site, it says the very same on the exact same page.
Night elves stuck with their druidism, only recently returning to arcane arts, with very unsuccesful results according to lore. High elves and blood elves continued which the night elves banished millennia years ago, they practised the arcane arts, and even managed to become the most powerful arcane users that existed, along with the highborne, who kinda managed to fall out of it, due to not being empowered by the magical waters of the Well of eternity anymore. Basically, night elves tends to be far more arrogant, due to being the longest lived mortal races on Azeroth. They are more primal and savage than both high elves and blood elves, yet they can be kind if intruders do not go against their principles and destroys their forests. Both high elves and blood elves are sophisticated and open to the world, they ain't as arrogant as the high elves, having been communicating with the world far more than the above elves. They are not physically as strong as above, but they are intelligent, they are cunning and the blood elves have developed a slightly darker mind, making them brutal in combat, ruthless and non caring. The feeling of being abandoned and betrayed, have also added to the blood elves mentality, and their desire and lust for revenge, have made them far more dangerous, considering their superior magical abilities, which is why the horde, again, according to lore, fears the blood elves, despite their appearances. Orcs do know how dangerous the arcane is, they encountered it with their own warlocks, and then they also encountered the human magi, and then we have a high elven/blood elven magi, who would be above a human magi. High elves are just boring, but I wouldn't mind playing one I admit, just for the sake of being able to be slightly more good-willed, rather than be lightly bound to above. |

We Sin'dorei shall rise up and forge a new world order sooon we shall destroy the orcs and assume our rightful place as the Rulers of the Horde and slaughter anyone who would oppose us..... Quel'thalas will shine again as an Example to all bow before our Might or be sweeped aside by the Tide of our Awesomeness

Blood elves couldn't care less about the horde, they are just a faction to survive with. |

A shame that you too are tainted by the fel, and none of us worships the fel, we are just using it to our advantage, and with great ability, just look at the very city which was build over a night. Shame on you, light worshipper. A shame that our entire race have returned to half our glory due to the fel and our mastery over both the arcane and now the fel too. Our race are far too superior to fall to madness because of such magics, like the inferior orcs and humans. No, instead we take it, we feed on it, we survive on it, without taking suffering, without becoming slaves. We take its powers without its consequences, that is what the blood elven race is capable of, that is what we have become after the past fall, we are truly an example of the word "What doesn't kill us, strengthens us". |

eh you live in the past it's all about the holy light now ... praise be the light that it may wash away the sins of the past and clense us of the fel corruption so that we may yet again reclaim our heirtage as High Elfs for the Light of the Sun .... for the Light of the Sunwell may M'uru Sacrifice not be invain Quel'thalas will rise again and stand in the sun of the light

Returning to a belief which you abandoned after a failed war doesn't give you the right to judge, it gives you the title of a hypocrit and a weakling. Instead you should embrace what have made us stronger, and what have brought us back to our former glory, not what you once believed in and which you abandoned.

There were blood elf priests in WC3. But did they abandon their beliefs? They may have gotten more fierce but they are still priests nonetheless..

Blood Knights were evil light-stealing paladins using holy magic merely as a tool, much like the magisters use arcane magic. Magisters and blood knights were also quite close together. An interesting quirk of blood knights was their preferred use of polearms, however since the developers chose not to implement any strength polearms from wotlk on, this particular aspect cannot be recreated.
Anyway, the blood knights were pragmatists, much like the warlocks - they did not worship the light, but used it as a yet another means to restore Quel'Thalas to its glory. I am using the past tense because since the reignition of Sunwell they have become ordinary "good" paladins, the justicar type of 'em, and frankly I find the new concept boring. I am not sure how it actually plays out either, but in all new lore that we've been given since the end of TBC blood elf paladins are not different from human or dwarf paladins. Despite me playing a healy priest, I am not a fan of high elves, I'd rather only have them in game to illustrate how inferior they are to sin'dorei in the coolness department. |

I guess you are right Veréshya, but worshipping of the light was still done by a very low amount of the population, and still is.
Hjdaskdhak something, I cannot type that name, also is correct, that the blood knights are a creation of the magisters, and therefor the blood knights would have more common respect towards the Magi (warlocks are included in this in Blood Elven society) rather than bash them, which we see happening, sadly. Even after the reignition of the Sunwell, haven't exactly made every single blood knight "good" as such, only Liadrin and her closest followers sees this, and wish for this, while I am sure many others think that the idea is ridicoulus. And the fel have been the solution for all of the problems in Quel'thalas, you do not see the high elves come and fighting for their land, suck weaklings. |

How about Elfs devoted to holy light, even in time of third war and after it. Alonsus Faol created the Silver Hand as a military arm of Church of Holy Light. It was during second war and back then you were part of Alliance of Lordaeron, and your relations with Lordaeron was very friendly i think. Aren't they any Blood elfs Paladin's ? (Paladins, not Blood Knight's) Who just stay in Quel'Thalas because they are patriots?

Nope, blood elven paladins is most likely in the Argent Crusade. Every light using melee fighter in Quel'thalas would be blood knights. Though on a roleplay server, you will see player characters, who are blood elven and a part of the Argent Crusade and so on, remain in Silvermoon City. A shame really, the argent crusade is too busy. |

Figures. I bet if you jumped on her, you'd most likely crush her. :P You are, after all, quite bigger than your shorter, pinkie kind. Use it to your advantage! |

Guys lets not fight, lets just all get sloshed get all !@#$y together, then we can have a go at fixing that draenei's spine with lots of sharp stabby things!

Night elves:
http://www.wowpedia.org/Night_elf Highborne: http://www.wowpedia.org/Highborne High elves: http://www.wowpedia.org/High_elves Blood elves: http://www.wowpedia.org/Blood_elf I recommend that you read/skim through those pages to learn more about their differences, because asking on the forum will sadly give you a lot of player opinion. Not commenting if they're right or wrong, but just that it's not often the best place to start! Reading through the wowpedia articles will give you fairly unbiased picture of the different type of elves as well as their very complicated (and retconned to utter death) history. |
