Change Your Face: New WoW Feature

34
After four years, Blizzard have introduced a paid character customization service to World of Warcraft.

In addition to the free changeable hairstyles that were added to the game in October, players can now change their character's gender, face and skin colour for a fee of $15.

However, this is currently only available in the US, Europe and other zones are yet to see this feature become available.

So, regret making your Blood Elf Rogue a male? You could be playing a sassy little female Elf sliping in and out of the shadows in no time...

Yeah, that's cool, and they added hairdressers in the game in WotLK, but I think this is more of a facelift =)

Don't tell me they had cosmetic surgery? ;)

Man, I was SO pissed when I realized I had the wrong face on my Troll priest a few months down the line, and been annoyed ever since, I think I'll start healing again!

Yeah I'm disappointed about the lack of race change too, but I can see why they haven't done that. Characters have different racial abilities, it would change your abilities.

This will be very welcomed by many fans who aren't satisfied with their characters. Some people may have rushed creating a character back on 2004 and 2006 to test a class. Then as they liked the class decided to stick with it as a main character, but don't like their skin color, or they chose a female character and wish a male model instead.

Indeed so, especially if you made a human male priest, which looks so silly in a dress. Casters kind of need to be female to be good/cool looking..

I agree; woman models ingame make for better casters. Looks silly having a muscled male mage; kind of makes you wonder if it could take up a sword and fight as a Battlemage like the Scarlet Crusade have.

This is what happened to me; I play lots of characters, and many I just rolled to try out a class and ended up sticking with it. The look of my characters is really important to me, so this new feature is brilliant, I'm looking forward to it so much!

I wasn't expecting this feature for WoW but it's definitely an interesting idea and a great update.

Sex changes are a part of this. You can change everything but race with this feature.

I'm glad they let you change your name as a part of the $15. Normally it costs $10 to do just that, but now you can change whatever for $5 more.

This is amazing news, I know it sounds stupid, but I hate having a female rogue, while my mage is male. Gender swaps coming up!!

I agree it is a very good feature and, as much I am happy with my... 9 characters (all on the one server however only one is 70+) and probably won't be using it... If I get annoyed with my chars face I definitaly will use this ^_^.

P.S. Martynmj... Gnomes are just horrible...

Unfortunately, I'd imagine for someone wishing to change all their characters it could quickly become an expensive exercise...

While i disagree with what you say good sir i will defend to the death your right to say it.

That was a lie i would never defend some ones right to insult gnomes, There just so cute and sexy, how could any one not like them? how ever i realise its early and you may be tired thus not fully aware or in control of what your saying, so i will forgive you this once for what awful thing you said.

15$ seems a bit steep for a mere model tuning service in my opinion.

Indeed, Terrice. Wonder if you pay a one time fee to change all your characters. Doing so for all 8 characters is over a hundred bucks.

But you have to pay, that's not cool. It should be one face change per character only, but free.

Blizzard makes mountains of money, and they expect you to pay more money to change something that should have always been included in the membership package. Hahahaha. They probably made a million dollars off this feature overnight off you chumps. I dare you to guys to grow some balls and boycott Bliz.
