World of Warcraft's Black Characters Have Been Whitewashed

"Blizzard's latest update gives black characters a race change they never asked for."

[InTheLab]

Yeah who plays human anyway? Hell, who still plays Wow?

[Mithan]

7.6 million people. Who plays anything else might be a better question.

[OrangePowerz]

I do, not as a human.

[Spinal]

I play WoW. And as a human ret paladin and human WW Monk.

Yeah point is less people play all the games you enjoy combined than World of Warcraft. Think about that for a second.

[InTheLab]

Yeah and triple that play Farmville and Candy Crush. What's your point?

My point is, the game isn't what it was. It's a bastard version of it's former self. Back when I played there were double the number you're gloating about. Back when I played, there were ques to get into servers...most lasting 15min+. Now realms are barely filled. So who's really "playing" wow these days?

Here's a question. Of the people who Beta'd Wow till now, who is still playing Wow aside from the millions of gold farmers?

[Magicite]

Over 5m subscribers if Im not wrong. More than any other MMORPG I guess.

............. It's light skinned ***** season!!!

Drake is winning.

I can see some people would be upset by this, it did make me laugh though that this was something missed before the patch in all the betas. My female human warrior looks like every other female human now even changing the face just adds freckles or something and the eye colour, the whole face if pretty much identical.

[WeAreLegion]

Haha. I'm sure it wasn't intentional. I'd love to log on to a game and see my white guy turned black. You just have to laugh at these sorts of things.

[CorndogBurglar]

As a white man, i am outraged.

[Software_Lover]

LOL

[Godmars290]

Thought you were a pizza...

Anyway, this isn't racism. Just lazy coding, which is some ways is actually worse...

[Spinal]

Loooool as a black man i am humoured by your comment :)

[CorndogBurglar]

On a lighter note, i wonder if Destiny will be around as long as this.

[Volkama]

Pun intended?

[Alicornium]

Wow, people still play this. :')

[Mithan]

Clearly blizzard did this on purpose. Stupid article.

[trywizardo]

damn i played this game like 7 years ago and had enough after a month , how come people still playing this !?!?!?!?!?

[Spinal]

Cause it's fun?

I've played many mmos and wow has the best gameplay and still is unbeaten the numbers speak for itself.

I'm excited for the expansion I'm resubbing today to enjoy the new patch. Had played some beta so I know what's in store with class changes/pvp and it's wonderful.

[rainslacker]

I played for a few years and recently got back into it when they gave me MoP for free. Signed up for a month, and played for about 2 weeks and remembered what a boring time sink it can be. It's really gone down hill IMO. WoTLK was the start, but at least it had a ton of content, after that it was just a breeze and got boring really fast.

[johny5]

All Blizzard did was make them half black to cater to the mixed race crowd ;)

[RoseSapphire]

Damn, the graphics have not aged well.
