<div>Hey Vhalen...</div><div> </div><div>Is it documented anywhere the lifespan of the playable races?   We all know that the elves are longest living as there is a elf npc in qeynos that remembers felwithe...  This is my guesstimate:</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Human/Barbarian/Erudite:   80 years?  (they're all human afterall)</div><div>Half elf :   300    ?</div><div>Iksar:        I think these are an 'elder' race with a long life span, lots of lizards live long, my guess is about the same is elf?</div><div>Froglok :  unknown, but probably shorter that human since RL frogs do have a pretty short lifespan.</div><div>Elfs       :   probably in the Low 1000's somewhere.. all "flavors" of them probably the same lifespan.</div><div>Halfling  :   unknown, but guess about 240.  Maybe stack them in the same pile as gnome/dwarf...</div><div>Gnome/Dwarf  :  According to lore in other games & fiction, they are close to elf,  i'd say 700-800.</div><div>Troll  :  400-ish?</div><div>Ogre :  400-ish?</div><div>Kerra:   unknown but probably shorter than human, cats age faster than human in RL..</div><div>Ratonga:  same as kerra, rats do have a short lifespan.</div><div> </div>

Here you go <a target="_blank" href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=lore&message.id=1529">http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=lore&message.id=1529 </a>There is another one right next to it on the thread list, but I think this is the better of the two. <div></div>

<div>The only source is the EQ Pen and Paper RPG game, which doesn't take into account a few of the races, who didn't exist untill after they came out.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Too bad they never give any references in-game either as to just how long each race can live.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>At any rate, Ogres and Trolls are lucky to live to 50.</div>
