Hi everyone, this is Laura Shigihara... you might know me as the Plants vs. Zombies singer/composer. This is my first World of Warcraft machinima, so I hope you like it (please go easy on me) ^_^ I made it because I really want to play as a Blood Elf Druid, and I thought this would be a good way to tell Blizzard how I feel. The music video is about a Blood Elf who goes on a quest to learn more about nature and talk to Druids from around the world.

For those who didn't catch the reference, the elf with sunglasses is "addicted" to Blood Thistle which is an herb that can be found in the Eversong Woods area... it goes along with the whole "addicted to magic" thing I suppose :P

"Blood Elf Druids"
by Laura Shigihara

(verse 1)
My people have been
Cut off from their home and their magic
Though we went through withdrawl we adapted
And found a place to live

We're not all the same
There are those who hold to the past
But if we want to grow we have to branch out
Now's the time to begin

(pre-chorus)
I know what you're thinking:
Magic and Nature can't co-exist
But if you look closer
We can be Blood Elf Botanists

(chorus)
Come on, come on, Blizzard please
I wanna fly above the canopy
Hold my breath for as long as I can
Shapeshift when I wave my hand -- oh oh oh

Little Gnomes can't really tank
Night Elves aren't well-versed in the arcane
But I'm a Blood Elf who's a friend of the trees
So come on Blizzard, make Blood Elf Druids please

(verse 2)
I've nothing to hide
I howl at the moon on a cold night
Swim the deepest sea and like a bird fly
Release the beasts inside

I really like plants
I'm friends with a lot of turtles
Walk Tooga home and never kill Kresh
Explore the world outside

(pre-chorus 2)
I know what you're thinking:
Magic and Nature can't co-exist
But I've read the Field Guide
written by Freywinn the Botanist

(chorus)
Come on, come on, Blizzard please
I wanna fly above the canopy
Hold my breath for as long as I can
Shapeshift when I wave my hand -- oh oh oh

Little Gnomes can't really tank
Night Elves aren't well-versed in the arcane
But I'm a Blood Elf who's a friend of the trees
So come on Blizzard, make Blood Elf Druids please

shes cute



[ShadowMasochist]

"...I am friends with a lot of turtles."

...Greatest lyric ever. EVER.

[Allaraina]

I wanted a bloodelf druid the moment I started playing this game. Someone else who feels as I do! If night elves can be mages, blood elves should be able to be druids. <3s for those of us who have a special place in our hearts for thistle.

[TurboMyu]

I would make you a blood elf druid !

[zikten]

@TheSnuzzle that's NOT a good reason. the game is meant to be fun. if lore gets in the way, it should be ignored. They can still stay storywise that there are only 3 blood elf druids in the world. but it does not hurt anyone to let those who want to make them, play a blood elf druid. who cares if there are 107 blood elf druids on a server. how would it harm anyone?

[zikten]

personally I think any race should be allowed to be any class. I'm not a fan of race restrictions in rpgs. I've always considered them stupid

[xaithoj]

@Rhantok you're mistaking the 'highborne' with the HIGH ELF race. 'highborne' was just a title for the nobility, not a separate race. during the well of eternity, all the elves 'highborne' or not, physically resembled a NIGHT ELF. their form comes from drawing power from the well of eternity and the moon wells.

ONLY after a remnant of NIGHT ELVES were expelled did the HIGH/BLOOD ELF race emerge. they evolved into HIGH/BLOOD ELVES because they no longer had access to the moon wells.

[Rhantok]

@xaithoj actually um no i reread war of the ancients again and it was originally high elfs and night elfs sided beside each. some high elfs drank the arcane magic from the well of eternity and some and turned into the blood els so before u try to say something read the books first

[TheSnuzzle]

@KatalinaOno Here's a good reason: Blizzard only makes race/class combos playable if they're common. Blood elf druids aren't common. Sad, but it's true. The society has basically cast aside nature magic in favor of arcane, and it's one of the things that separates night elves from blood elves/high elves.

[xaithoj]

@Rhantok ummm...NO. high elves and blood elves CAME FROM night elves. everyone during the well of eternity when they were abusing arcane magics were NIGHT ELVES. only after the well of eternity exploded and some night elves were expelled or left with Azshara did the high elves, blood elves and nagas come into being.

[Rhantok]

night elf's weren't first to be arcane it was originally it was high elfs with sperated into night elfs and blood elfs and satyr

[bgoodrick]

Every time I'm flying above the trees on my druid, I think of this song. ^.^ And then I realize it's so much easier to fly over the trees than around them.
