Character Customization

Let me be clear -- the character customization options we're seeing in Shadowlands are wonderful, and I not only enthusiastically support them, I want more, for I am a greedy and covetous soul who always wants more no matter what.

A wide gamut of new customization features are coming to World of Warcraft with the Shadowlands expansion.

Let's speak frankly for a second: We all love to play Barbie with our World of Warcraft characters.

We've talked about Unearthed Arcana here before, focusing on Subclasses to change up how your favorite class plays, but the latest playtest content from Wizards of the Coast for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition is something a little different -- instead of focusing on new subclasses to alter a specific class, it decides instead to give you new feats which can be taken by almost any class (although some wouldn't be very useful for all classes).

The home haircut has become something of a badge of honor in the current environment.

It's no secret that World of Warcraft is getting a whole host of updates to character customization options in Shadowlands -- the biggest graphical update for characters since we received race updates in Warlords of Draenor.

New Blood Elf customization options have made it into the Shadowlands alpha!

This week, we found out that Void and Blood Elves were getting a series of customization options that would include skin tones and glowing blue eyes that would allow either to look like a Warcraft II-era High Elf.

You want more character customization?

Look, I love the lore of World of Warcraft as much as any living human being.
