Sorry, no high elves. You can't really roleplay as one of them, since they would be part of the Alliance rather than the Horde. Really I know it's tempting, but you must just resist.

I should write a whole article about this someday, but it's really true that while the visual element of a game like this does add lots of fun to our roleplaying, it really takes a way from the experience if you try to pretend that what you're roleplaying is something other than what everyone sees. If the whole game were in our imagination anyways, it wouldn't matter, but it's right there in front of us, so your character saying "I'm a high elf" is kind of like me saying, "I'm the Queen of England!"
