I take offense to this! I played a human first before switching to High Elf, and I never looked back. (Not being able to see in the dark might have had something to do with it.)
I was a Human too! Well, Half Elf first, but Human's better. Who needs being able to see in the dark when you can just carry a Lantern. Or a Moonstone. Or Enchanted equipment? Of course, it really matters hard if you started in Surefall Glade.
But seriously, why High Elf? I think that's one of two or three pre-Luclin races I never got past level 5 with (the others being Erudite because their entire island sucks and Ogre. Troll and Dark Elf were also low.
