D&D has always had elves?(Although I guess you could argue that because World of Warcraft and its ilk have elves, D&D should have elves in order to make it easier to pull in WoW gamers. WoW may have inherited its elves from D&D, but computer games are far more popular now than D&D ever was, and I have to admit they are a natural place to go looking for new recruits.)Anyway, as I said above, I wouldn't excise elves entirely from the game, just from the "setting defaults." Either give them their own splatbook, or make them an optional chapter in the core set--preferably the Dungeon Master's Guide, to emphasize that it's the DM's decision whether to include them.</blockquote>
