Should Blood Elves get the new diversed human skin tones in SL?

Dwarves are getting them aswell so I guess why not Blood Elves ? Personnaly I don’t play BE so I don’t really care, even though I like the option overall. If you play and roleplay a BE would you like to have the option ? If so how would it impact your rp ? Would you just retcon your character and say he was always like this or maybe it would be an opportunity to start a brand new character ?

Elves are not humans, they don’t have different skin tones afaik other than different shades of pink for Blood elves, purple/pink for Night elves, more cyan for Nightborne and blueish for Void elves. Dwarves have different skin colors today as well, I don’t see why they would add “diversity” for the sake of diversity to a fantasy race that simply is what it is.

I’d be pretty happy to see blood elves get some darker skin tones. My own elf uses the darkest option available, but should probably sit a few shades darker.

I see no reason for elves to get more skin tones. Like Velarine said, each type of elf has a base colour with shades of it.

Now hairstyles, more belf hairstyles please.

I don’t think having the options would hurt anyone – Night Elves have skin tones ranging from blue, to purple, to pink, and now to grey with the Night Warrior option. Female Night Elves even have an option that’s practically green.

I’d love to see the other variants have options that are as broad as that.

You’ll take the blue that you’re given.

I have now been introduced to the concept of a Sunfire Elf from some American anime, and my resolve has never been stronger.

Sunfire Elves are just katana weebs with a lava flare and a fr*nch accent.

Don’t @ me.

That’s not the accent I was expecting.

breed being literal in this case
