Sorry for the thread necromancy, but seeing as this is basically an elf-love circle jerk thread, I just couldn't resist. I did most of my old school gaming in Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance settings, so I'm new to DDO and the Eberron setting. Way different! But I like what I see so far. Elves are particularly interesting to me, especially the Valenar, which I chose for my first character here. I have to say, I'm enjoying my scimitar-wielding ranger both in combat and in RP.

Just have one little note to add here....

Halflings ftw!

[Marcus-Hawkeye]

This game, I like halflings... I tried a bunch of other races but they eventually get deleted...

As for favourite race in any D&D I've played... would be a tie between Thrikreen and half-giant.

Halflings (from 3rd editon) and elves are my favorite. I never really liked the whole hobbit thing (blasphemy right?) and would play elves in 2nd edition. I've always liked the lithe/graceful races and those two fill that niche. Nothing quite like being the baddest dude on the block and every thinks you're a pansy because you don't have 95 lb biceps.

only thing i like about elves are the hot chicks they offer

One thing that's specific to Eberron is how...twisted...the Elf culture is compared to Tolkien / PnP D&D norms.

Specifically, read about the Undying Court.

Elves are not your baseline happy, frolicking forest-dwelling blondes with bows. Elves are baroque, death-obsessed, undead-ancestor-worshipping, necromancy-casting happy jungle-dwelling blondes with bows.

They're a lot more like Aztecs or pulp Ancient Egyptians in feel. And they regard the Blood of Vol with contempt. Not because they're evil or a threat, but because they're amateurs. The Black Mausoleum is a sad little shack compared to Shae Mordai, the Aerenal City of the Dead.

Because they're tasty when roasted on a spit!

This ^^

I like Elves because there are not enough races with a crappy CON stat.

I like elves because it makes it easier to spot GROWN MEN who have crushes on Orlando Bloom.
