Whether the page stays or goes, Life spans doesn't cover weight and height, as this page does. 22:12, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect Ages
The ages listed here aon the article are wrong, see the following information from somewhere on[]

Race Adulthood  Lifespan

Dwarves/Gnomes 40  300-400

Humans 18  100-150

Night Elves 110  2000

Trolls 17  75

Orcs 18  75

Tauren 15  100

Orcs live shorter lives than humans for example.


 * While 18 is the current age of maturity in most modern cultures for humans, in a medieval fantasy setting it would be lower as would the average life expectancy, therefore 15 as the age at which adulthood is reached is not unreasonable nor is 70 being considered a venerable age, although the types of magic that are fairly pervasive in the setting could work to increase life span. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by.

Elf ages?
According to the World of Warcraft Encyclopedia, 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). 03:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

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)

Draenei are immortal :3 Either that or live to something like 25 000- 30 000 years. Malfurion Stormrage (talk) 21:24, 30. 03. 2010

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'? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by.


 * this loss of sentience is most likely due to the manner that the forsaken are reanimated and a slow degradation of their bodies and minds due to un-death being an unnatural state. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by.

Redundant information?
We already have the Life spans article for each race's life span, so what is the point of this article? The information on each race's average height and weight can be found on the races' own pages, although maybe it's nice to have all that information on one page.

FYI
I started a little cleanup. I'll be back another day, as I'm not quite sure how to deal with the heights (which are averages here but on some other pages ranges). The weights appear to be estimated, so I'm not really sure how encyclopedic those are... --Sky (t · c) 01:43, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Wasn't there...?
Wasn't there also an age modifier listed on this article? Something about "To figure out how old your character would be... Multiply x by their human age." That was useful to role-players. -- Naij (talk) 15:54, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see how. One: It was actually variable rather than based on the actual cases. Two: It has no standing in any source texts. Three: With the direct values on the article, I don't see a reason why the people can't guess at a relevant time. Four: How can we say that something is equivalent to something else? Even though the races age at a different rate, by the end of maturity, I'm fairly certain they all think along the same lines, making any comparison of "he's this old in human years" a little useless. If you really need to know the equivalent ages, I suggest you learn interpolation, or learn how to approximate well. --Sky (t · c) 18:31, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
