I keep seeing you around the forums and picture an elf in an Imperial Navy uniform.
Why's that?
How to roleplay a Night Elf.
Why's that?

I don't know if this is meant to be taken as good or bad. Considering Mely's a Warden...

Depends on how sexy you find a woman in an imperial Navy uniform. ;o
Eldamar flees to Dagobah.
I'd look damn sexy in one of those outfits.
Or a female version of a Stormtrooper armor.
I stand corrected.
NOW this thread has taken a strange turn.

So what color Lightsaber is appropriate for a Night Druid Jedi? I was thinking green but that feels a little cliche.

Bumped and favorited.

An excellent post. I would like to bring forth a point of something I've been noticing more and more off. Many powerful female night elf druids, powerful tauren druids and what seems to me as the most improbably powerful worgen druids. Many of whom call themselves archdruids, etc.
It seems to me like the druidism is an art which requires hundreds, if not thousands of years of study, practice and perhaps many years of visiting the emerald dream, in order to reach something near the peak of its powers. And it seems to me like the only ones capable of reaching these levels and ranks in current lore are night elf male druids, with maybe, JUST MAYBE, a very, very few females.
Tauren, the way I read it, have only learned druidism recently and in my mind it seems that it is unlikely that there would be many particularly capable tauren druids. Maybe a few who had been particularly close to nature before being introduced to druidism by the night elves. In fact I would say that is the only reason I see tauren as possibly capable of reaching relatively high levels of druidism in such short time, the fact that even before druidism they were very closely bonded with natural things and perhaps for the particularly talented they already had a head start over your average beginner. That said, I would still be very skeptic of any particularly powerful tauren druids, as I would put tauren practitioners on roughly the same level as female night elf druids..... They have a natural advantage due to the beliefs of their race, but they haven't had the sheer time to raise themselves to the level of older night elf male druids.
This brings me to the last race: Worgen. I have already seen two worgen archdruids running around. I'm sorry, but I just don't see how that could be. With the human lifespan, with their general lack of bonding to nature, with the timeframe (less then a year) since being introduced to 'true' druidic magic by the night elves as I see it ALL worgen druids should be nothing but novices running around trying to learn how to make a flower grow rather then anything else. Yes, I know it is said that Gilneas was already practicing some forms of druidism even before the worgen came... But as I see it that was a very basic level which was the best humans could reach by themselves, perhaps enough to grow some crops or heal a small wound but nothing more.

Sorry if that was a bit long but I wanted some opinions on this. The way I see it, if you wanna be a particularly capable druid, roll a night elf male. If you want to be an average to decent druid roll either a elf female, elf male or a tauren. If you wanna be a noob druid roll any of the races above and make him a beginner. But Worgen Archdruids just don't seem to make sense.

Archdruid -may- refer to being 'the leader of the druids' of a faction. So, in the case of my guild, "Archdruid of the Moonblade" would mean that individual would be the most powerful druid and defacto leader of all the druids within the faction.
"Archdruid of the Cenarion Circle" is the big one. Many people immediately assume "Archdruid" affiliates the title with the circle (and not wrongfully so, Archdruids are closely linked to the circle).
Really though, there is something like one Tauren Archdruid, one female Archdruid and no Worgen/Troll Archdruids of the Cenarion Circle. People need to specify.
