Do we know? I know elves are usually long lived, but what about the other races like forsaken, or pandaren, Tauren, Draenei etc.

I think Draenei are immortal. Velen is at least 25,000 years old IIRC.

Even if they’re not confirmed to be, they’re effectively immortal as far as anyone in-game is concerned and as far as it matters as players (even roleplayers).

Afaik most races live generally as long as your average human with notable exceptions such as elves who live a heck of a long time but have varied levels of how long. I wanna say the oldest blood elves were in the range of a couple thousand years old, the other elves have immortality from fonts of magic or recently lost those, draenei seem to be effectively immortal, if youre magic your life seems to be extended though it depends how magic you are. Antonidas i believe was around 250 when he died, whereas aegwynn was 700+ due to guardian shenanigans and i believe is still alive.
Lol so incomplete
Yeah, they all live until they die.
That’s their life span.

I honestly didn’t think I would live 100 years of my life span considering all the junk we pandaren eat.

Lifespan isn’t addressed very concretely for most races. Elves of all types generally appear to live for a very long time, even when not made immortal by various forms of outside magic (Sunwell, Nozdormu’s blessing). Draenei appear to live for a very long time, with Velen being over 25,000 and even some “normal” Draenei being at least over 13,000 because they remember Argus before the Legion took it.
Most other playable races aren’t dealt with so much. Humans seem relatively close to real-life humans, and Orcs seem comparable to Humans, as we’ve seen many of their lore characters and heroes age in real time.
Forsaken don’t have a "life"span. They exist until their body disintegrates or the magic holding their consciousness inside it fails.
I think this is appropriate.

I though orcs had a canonically shorter lifespan than that? I could easily be wrong.
Your post did warrant a sensible chuckle, though.
Aegwynn is dead …unless blizz retcons that as well.
afaik she died doing something for med’an who is dubiously canon so alot of that kinda stuff is left in the air. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was dead as it was clear after she gave up her guardian powers she was rapidly aging only that i’m not sure if we can take the med’an version of events as canon due to how blizz somewhat refuses to acknowledge med’an as canon.
Yeah it seems they kind of left that hanging when the made their changes to Chronicles.
