Det var svært for Blizzard at få Night Elves med i Warcraft-universet

Warcraft-universet er fyldt til renden med kreative kreationer, deriblandt de mange racer som universet indeholder. Spørger man dog visse medlemmer af de udviklingsholdet bag universet, så er de særligt stolte af Night Elf-racen, som det vist ikke var helt let at få godkendt dengang.

I et interview med PCGamesN fortæller Warcraft-artist Samwise Didier, at Night Elves som koncept var svært at få godkendt dengang.

"We wanted to make Night Elves. Night Elves had never been, to my knowledge, seen before, ever in fantasy. We came up with them. They're purple skinned, they're seven-plus feet tall, with long blue and green hair. All we really did is go, 'what if we combined a wood elf and a dark elf?'

"Within Blizzard that was a really hard sell. The world accepted Night Elves better than most members of the team did. Because people were used to the Legolas types, the elves that are your typical elves - blondish, brownish hair, while we were going blues and greens and purple. That's radically different, but it really took was a picture to help sell that."

Så mangler de vist bare at komme igang med Warcraft 4.
