The Daily Grind: Would you rather play High Elves or Dark Elves?

High Elves for me, I've always found the Dark Elves (and the Dark Eldar in Warhammer 40K) kind of tacky, even in the tabletop game... too many spikes and purple colours.

However, I probably won't be creating either, I have my eye on a Dwarf Ironbreaker or a Goblin squig herder... or possibly a Chaos zealot :D
I might change my mind when I see the game in person though.

The combination of high speed and aggressiveness makes me choose Dark Elves. More over, the look increadably good and nasty.

I'm a fence sitter! I can't decide. Traditionally I go with the forces of good in these games BUT Warhammer Online has me thinking twice about going to the dark side.

I am new to the Warhammer universe and becoming a fan of Destruction (epically the Greenskins as I am long time fans of Orcs). However the Shadow Warrior looks great also. I can or see many alts, of both sides, on two servers.

I want to play a White Lion, therefore the decision is moot.

Unfortunately, I need to play a bunch of greenskins and a Chaos Chosen a lot sooner than a White Lion, so I'll be going Destruction first.

Perhaps another server later for namby pamby goodiness...with a big axe and a sharp-toothed feline.

To be honest, that whole "I'M EVIL! EEEEEEEEEEVIL!" thing would get to me after a while. Ultimate Emo.

I`m playing a Empire(Warrior Priest) but the White Lion looks an interesting class to play,I guess I've found my alt.

I love my orc. Thats about all I can say till they lift the nda lol.

Whatever the reason, the huge crowds are going Chaos in WAR. They *say* things will be balanced, but I doubt it.

WoW made Horde the "one to be" in PvP for a long run of imbalances. I don't run WoW anymore, so I don't know if Horde still hold that slight edge, but for years the average PvP winner would be Horde unless it was open world where they were just overrun by alliance 3+ to 1.

Even known it is a different game, I can't help but to believe that Chaos is going to have a combat advantage over Order in WAR.

Thus, I will go High Elf if I want to join the underdogs, which is what made Horde so cool in the start of WoW. Or maybe I will go dark elf just so I can be on the winning side because it seems the majority of mains will be evil with the alts being good making the chaos side much more skilled due to gameplay time.

Hard choice there.

I wold probably choose High Elf, mostly because at launch, the Dark Elves will only have 3 classes, with no tank, and the High Elves will have a tank and all 4 classes. I wouldn't want to be a clothie on the side with no tanks!

Plan to play a Disciple of Khaine, so Dark Elf. Next in line would either be a Chaos Zealot or High Elf Archmage.

Shadow Warrior for me. Although when I do roll Destruction on another server I will be trying some Dark Elf characters. Not sure if my g/f will like me playing a Witch Elf though :-\

Like others have said, I normally would go with the "good side" (always played Alliance in WoW, eventhough I know that technically they're not the "good side" :P), but despite some of the emo-ness of the Dark Elves, they seem to have a more unique look to them.

Although I agree, I believe the majority of people (kids) will probably role Chaos.
