Elf ages?
According to the World of Warcraft Encyclopedia, ([2]) all Elves can live for up to several thousand years. Should this be edited? Zentyr 10:05, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Elf age
Night elves could live for an eternety - some time ago. As the world tree fell, the night elves became "normal beings" of, as also listed above, a 2000 years maximum. Blood and high elves are mortal since they abandoned kalimdor. I disagree with the statement of becoming adult with 110 years. Physical maybe, but the spirit needs some more hundreds of years to grow.
Anestarian is said to have seen the Trolls Wars. He was fighting along side the Humans under Thoradin, that alone puts him over two thousand eight hundred years if he reigned over the entire Troll Wars. It would appear Blizzard themselves aren't clear on the age and lifespans of the High Elves... --Invin Dranoel (talk) 10:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
I gather this information was taken from the RPG sourcebooks? Regarding Night Elves (only), it is not consistent with the lore of WoW; all Night Elves were immortal until only a few years ago (in WoW) when Nordrassil was destroyed. Blizzard has stated that their "natural" lifespan is now "thousands" of years, but since so little time has passed (in WoW) since the Third War, from the point of view of Night Elves this may be simply unknown. As such the information given in this article is highly misleading. Tyrande Whisperwind and Shandris Feathermoon both fought in the War of the Ancients about 10,000 years ago, and can still be encountered in the game world. Several other NPCs are probably a similar age. As such, any age up to a little over 10,000 years is clearly possible for Kaldorei. If there are no objections I propose to change the article accordingly.--Aldrannath (talk) 14:55, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
Draenei age?
I was wondering if someone knows about the age of Draenei?
- That's already been brought up here and here (at least). I don't think anyone's come to any conclusions.
- I find it a bit annoying, however, that there are absolutely no weight estimates (aside, of course, from my "400 pounds of blue beef" joke).

Velen is as old as Archimonde and Kil'Jaeden. I am guess it is safe to say an eternity for now. --Invin Dranoel (talk) 10:57, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Undead age
The page says for the forsaken there is no need for age since they do not die, yet the Quest:The Chill of Death Gretchen mentions that the "Mindless state" will be upon her soon, assuming that means all forsaken eventually become scourge or dead, wouldn't that prove an end to their 'un-life'?
