Re: Elves?
I don't think so. While I think they need a unique spin on them, and not just be lifted from LotR, I think they are a staple of fantasy settings.

Re: Elves?
Alot of people will say they are, but I find them nice and classical. \
Like said if you have dwarves humans and orcs, i'll break your neck.
Though looking at all the big fantasy mmos, don't they all have elves too?

Re: Elves?
cant stand them in anything other than D&D though D&D did them wrong and made them short when they should be tall and slender.
Re: Elves?
They are a fantasy staple. I agree with halls on the D&D variant being my favorite, though I'm not particularly fond of the drow; mostly because half the drow PCs I've ever seen were drzztt clones.
If you are building a fantasy genre game and not going out on a limb to create a totally unique IP, they fit.

cant stand that, and to me it seemed them and the duergars(evil dwarves) were just copies of each other.

Re: Elves?
Mmmm elves are epic they are a must be for an RPG. I mean what kind of fantasy RPG DOESN'T have elves? Players would be all what the hell there are no elves.
