Most RL underground species have lost their color. Perhaps the new game will have evil pure white elves with red eyes and special sensitivity to sunburn?
Pssst. Drow don't exist on Layo. It's dark elf or nothing.
While I agree with your intent behind the post and that dark elves need to be treated as stated in lore, you are off on Drizzt being the first dark elf. First off Gary Gygax created dark elves back in one of his first modules as npc monsters.
Please review the crystal clear rules on PVP and understand that *kill on sight will never happen* Otherwise Darilith or G'ork would have respawn griefed you to permadeath by the bindstone long ago... Use the PvP wands! Use Tells! Use the Arena! But don't use history and rp as a shielded excuse to break server rules killing players on sight. RP the hate, don't mutter about how its not there.
*thumbs through an original owner, AD&D (1e) "Dungeon Module D3, Vault of the Drow" module* Absolutely.Though, perhaps if dark elf characters were RP'ed as though they were down to their last Soul Strand, and would be lynched, hung, drawn, quartered, fricasseed, boiled in oil, plunged in molten iron, and exposed to Kryptonite if revealed, then perhaps that might give a certain "edge" to their RP.

I think that critiquing of the populace on whether or not they are RPing a race properly does little in the long run.
