Does Your IRL Height Determine Which Race You Play?

Unread post by **Miacoda** » Wed Mar 07, 2012 6:14 pm

Just thought I'd take a little survey. I'm a tall person IRL, and I can't stand playing short characters. It just feels so weird, hehe.

Hmm, in a way it might. I'm tall in real life (6'), and I highly dislike gnomes, and though I like goblins, I can't play one for the life of me. Female blood elves aren't exactly tall though, so...I dunno. xD

I consider Blood Elves Tall. And humans too. I guess anything with long legs, hehe.

Well no it's not about being AS tall as the character you play, but in relative short and tallness.

Don't know, really.. I think the girl gnomes are adorable and tiny, but I tend to stick to Night Elves and Male Trolls.. But they're huge, I mean.. I'm only like 5'7", they're 7'+ feet tall. xD

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's not accurate as well, just thought it was a fun image to go with the topic. XD

More accurate race height chart: http://onesockwolf.deviantart.com/art/B ... -261461979

I'm 5'4" and I only play tall races aka trolls, taurens and a worgen currently. Used to have a night elf and draenei too before I faction transferred them.

My boyfriend is tall (6'4") and his main was a troll, but all his alts where shorter races such as goblins, a dwarf, and a blood elf.

Im 5'5 and i play tall characters. I dont mind small ones cause the tiny height makes me giggle but it makes it hard to see things in first person perspective. I have a large mix of tauren, trolls, blood elves, draenei, night elves, and worgen, and only one goblin (a few other races like a couple undead and one orc but they're still a fair height).

I'm 5ft exact, and all of my WoW characters, and even OCs, are normally taller than me. I can't play a Gnome, Goblin, or dwarf at all. It mostly ranges from Nelfs, Belfs, Trolls, Orcs, Tauren, and even a spacegoat that I play. Iunno why =/

Average height and I play both short and tall races.

My favorites are Trolls, closely followed by Goblins. Belves currently in third, even if my main is one!

I'm short, and the characters I make and play the most (all female) are Blood Elves, Night Elves, and Draenei. So, I guess it does!

6 foot here and I'm all over the board with my races.

I'm pretty much average height or maybe just below it at 5'10". Most of my characters are Tauren. The exceptions are the classes that aren't available to the cow folks. For those, it's Orc, Belf, and Goblin.

I'm more or less average height: 5'11"

I have mostly Blood Elves, which is a preference totally unrelated to their height.

However, I also have a single Tauren (whom I don't play notably because of his size... I think he just takes up too much screen real estate when playing), a Goblin, and on another server, a slew of Worgen.

I have have a team of dwarf and gnome females ready on one server, for when I finally get my 3rd computer up and running, to triple-box them.

But I'm more attracted to Blood Elves as playing characters, even if the male B.Elf "there is nothing to attack" message is getting on my nerves.
