Night elves are fruity bastards who deserve to fall out of that damned tree. I hated Kelethin, I hate the night elf city too. But it is prettier.

So I switch to a human rogue, just to get a feel for shit.. Now, many of you may remember my "It wont live up to the hype" bullshit from just before release. It seems I was wrong. I'm loving this game. I hated the idea of it being cartoony.. but thats just what it needs, it wouldnt feel like warcraft otherwise.

The combat seemed clumsy to me at first, til I realized thats where SWG's new combat system came from, and I adapted near instantly.

Am on Alleria, as Talora. Show me some love.

(Yes, I'm playing a chick.. If I'm gonna be staring at the rear view of something for a few hours a day, its gonna be female.)

Besides.. playing a chick is like hitting the "easy" button, right?

Bah. If you fall off that building in the Night Elf starting area more than once, you've got problems.

Thank god that's the only building in all of the elven lands that I've seen that actually goes that high.

You probably just explored too far. If you go out on the edge and look down you can see that it is not something you want to jump off of.

I did that. It was then that I discovered that your ghost form can die.

And I jumped off the giant tree too. Just for fun.

If you go too far into the great sea (the black water on the minimap), your ghost can get fatigued and slowly die.

Ectoplasm and Oceans don't mix. If you go out too far, the fabric of your incorporeal existance unravels.

Also, a fall that would instantly kill you if you were alive can indeed kill you as a ghost. I managed to make a completely unretrievable corpse halfway down one of the mesas of Thunder Bluff, heh.

I had a 'difficult but not impossible' one to retreive on top of Ironforge.

I'll make another one somewhere in the "Probable Future Expansion Zone".

I have to disagree. I've had more than my fair share of really long falls, and none of them have ever phased me as a ghost.

Keep in mind, the last time I fell that far was in beta. They might have changed it since then. I had the idea it was intentional, to stop travel via death.
