The whole "Cleansing" thing does sound like they'll end up renaming them High Elves come the next expansion pack, or some kind of.. early wink at allowing faction changes whilst retaining your race.

I wouldn't be suprised to be honest.

*shakes fist in rage* those high elf wimps can kiss my fel taintend a*get's abducted by blizz and thrown into fel rehab*

It turns out we can now change both our Worgen AND Human forms:



Ignore the bug.

O.o

I was thinking Venom more than anything.

First I was like, hmm I don't remember that mask.
Then I was like holy shit!

Alliance introductions:

This means I was right! Muhahha! <Goes off to collect gold from bets>

I am very impressed with the options to change both worgen and human forms.

I'm interested in the gnome starting place, looks very usefull for rp.

The new starting robes are pure beaut. THat Night Elf Mage one. Niiiice.

Is it just me or did the Dwarf into seem to... skip.. at places?

I think it was moving to show the different points of interesting. Old ironforge, Council Chambers then out to starting zone.

Also, for all the QQ about Worgen land, I think the Worgen are a better race. They have proper lore, better rp possibilities and let's face it; goblins are just a Horde comic relief. Their starting zone is proof of that.

Eh, I wouldn't call it " better " Rp not by a long shot, The goblin offer a unique sense of charecter, to consider them a simple comic relief would be a huge under statement they represent one of  natures of the horde.

Noble Savage
Witchcraft and Superstition
Revenge and arrogance
Meschief and light-heartedness

Think of each RP you've ever had the pleasure of roleplaying through and comprehend the feel, People RP for different reasons and wants, to say any race is lesser then the other is to deny the obvious oppurtunity of moodful indulgence!
^_^

Goblins sure give that dominant horde vibe with how they remade azshara.

Also, Dwarf and Worgen intro music was awesome and voice acting.. Very grim.

Bad news on the Worgen front. THose buttons are just to get a better look. The two forms still change together. As thought at first. Also you can pick ears.

On a plus however, it turns out Gilneans will get unique human heads/skins (Much paler skins, no black characters, more 'gruff' facial expression). It's been rumored since Lorna crowley was seen to have her own unique face, but otherwise nobody really picked up on it:

Nothing would please most of the players of WoW than more Gruff everywhere. But I'm not pale and wrinkly.

>.> I hope we get some Dark skinned Gilneans... Not every single english person is obscenely pale.

Hahaha I think they forgot to put in facial hair textures for the worgen human forms, I made a druid just now, and instead of giving him a beard it just gave him a massive chin and cheeks

In the 1800s we kinda were.. Londoners were quite pale due to the awful conditions of the city. Oh and blacks were slaves so..

Indeed. Hahah! Dark skinned Gilneans...such a laugh.

You'd have to do your history lessons before questioning it, typically if they want the Gilneans to be a secluded people without outside influences. The only reason the Human kingdom in WoW has darker skinned people is because they've done the typical unite 'all humans they can under one flag' thing.

Even in Scotland, especially in the north, seeing a black person is like seeing a rare wild flower. At most, you'd think they were a foreigner and never born here.
