The age limit has increased since 2050, there may well be a conspiracy to limit the information of actual life-span from getting out to everyone else who will not live that long. Until the elves actually live that long it is only theoretical conjecture from the scientific community anyway. And as far as the immortal elves go they have slept a lot to get through the down-cycle of little or no magic. Some sort of suspended animation thing or the other. Incidently since the elven ability of immunity to age and disease is tied to their essence, lots of cyberware will seriously impinge upon an elven samurai's life span. Not that we runners expect to live that long in any event. As an aside, Tolkien Silvan elves in an environment with sindar or Noldar frequently work in menial positions for long times, they where happy to do so. Some people just have that mentality and are happy, flippin burgers or mopping floors, most aren't but some

If I out in 10 years at my company I get 5 weeks of vacation a year. What would an elf with 100 years of service get?

Other the that, why does it matter if elves live that long? I fihure a lot more people would be mad that Orks don't live as long as weakling humnas. I have yet in any game had to worry about the age of one of my characters. One of my SR characters (a human, I very rarley play anthing else in SR other then straight humans) has been around for 14 RL years about 15 game years, pushing 40, but long since retired from doing actual runs, I don't think by time he is old enough to worry about getting old, I will have shuffled off this mortal coil. In D&D I play Elves almost exclusively, I just like the woodland theme, and they too have never had to worry about age, except the time one was hit by a ghost and aged 40 years. Now he is the whopping 170. Other then that character age has never come into play in our games.
