…for how much of my free time the World of Warcraft expansion would take up. Posting to resume shortly.

In particular, this bit just cracks me up:

Night Elves, once immortal, are now entirely and totally mortal once again.

As it stands, some of the older members of their race, old by the time of the Pact, are approaching their twelve thousandth year. The eldest approach thirteen thousand years old…

Others, the very young indeed, only a few hundred years old and born to the call of future omens of war… adventure and prance. Some have regressed to an almost animalistic ferality in terms of their choice of activities. Dancing with very little clothing. Revelry. Frivolity. Ex-Druids become Hunters, Rogues, and Priests of Elune, or even Warriors. Females join the Druidic Orders. The actions constitute an abandon of a race now free of a ten thousand year contract of immortality.

A lore-based explanation for the infamous Night Elf mailbox strippers. Truly, an accomplishment worthy of recognition.
