[QUOTE="Axillia, post: 239798, member: 22869"] [USER=6121]@MistyBirb[/USER]: If there had never been any version of the game that had anything but Wyld Elves i don't think i would have ever had any objections, but fact is there had been at least 2 ("blue UI" and "Fantasy UI") where they were JUST called Elves and for all intents and purposes largely were JUST Elves as understood traditionally. It's about having things taken away from you that were available before, and that you had built an emotional connection with, not about wanting to have something new added that isn't there. I meant what i said when talking about sitting down and coming up with a backstory to an OC you planned to play in the game while waiting for things outside the tutorial to become available. Traditionally Elves are (self-)atributed as being more noble and pure compared to humans or other races, and daydreaming of being able to have a fall from the highest hights of innocence and purity as your character arc, just to learn your race has been snuffed out and replaced with a version that is clearly more tainted than even the lowest of humans honest to god feels like a gutpunch as severe as being denied to be recognised as the gender you are on a daily basis IRL. After you've found who you are, you're being told you can't be that, not possible, and have to accept it. This is why i hate online only games, with downloadable games you can archive older versions you liked better after things get changed, or you can modify them (some more easily than others) to suit your needs, with online only ones they can just be majorly altered and you lose access to the versions you hold dear without any recourse, just like when Cataclysm destroyed Azeroth.
