Noob Question: Dark Elf?

[iamrabbit]

I hardly played back in the day, maybe until like 15 or something, so I'm pretty new to the game still, but what are the downfalls of playing a Dark Elf?

I really like how they look, but doesn't everyone try to kill you? Can I communicate with other players or are there different languages since it's an evil race? I have no clue.. Oh and will I not be able to do quests or sell things?

Thanks!
