Year 28 corresponds to year 2009 for us.Īdult Blood Elves are approximately 95 years old, all Blood Elf players would have been born well before the First War, which is when the Dark Portal was originally opened (year 0).įor example, a 95 year old 'adult' Blood Elf, would have been born 67 years before the opening of the Dark Portal. The current year in the World of Warcraft is 28 years after the opening of the Dark Portal (year 0). An 'adult' character should be approximately 95 years old (which is approximately 19 human years) and that would be the minimum age you could choose based on how the characters look when you create them ingame. For example, if a Blood Elf is 125 years old, he is physically equivalent to approximately a 25 year old human. The rule of thumb to compare Blood (High) Elf ages to the corresponding human age is by dividing it by 5. On how they think, how they do things, what to think when you roleplay based on their history. Think of 19 as the minimum age you can chose, because that is how they physically look in the game, if you chose a fresh hair cut and a young face for them.Īlso, the text about elven customs will come too, I have to finish talking about it and making it more complete. Once you have both, you can chose your character's age based on how much of the history you want them to see and still look like a young adult, because they can't be younger than 19 and look like the characters you create in the game to play.

To help you guys create your character bio, below you will find the explanation on how to chose the age based on what you want your elf to look like (young, old), how to calculate it and how to chose a birthday for them, on the year he/she was born. For those who roleplay in World of Warcraft.
