Well said. I wish we could go back to that era, but as you say, a year or two in they just felt misplaced. To me a real Blood Elf got fel green eyes that fought for survival while keeping their Arcane superiority. My favorite WC3 moment is when Kael and Tyrande met, so different but still familiar and they helped each other out.
Kael'thas was such a good character then. Hope they do him justice in SL.
