In 3.3 it seems like Jaina will be given a new model: http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/october/jaina.jpg

could she look more lame? =/ In my opinion I think that her face features in the 3.1 trailer was even better, because she looked smart and suspicious!

Her face displayed in the picture in that link is totally ruining her "legend" imo because it makes her look like a silly little girl

Q u o t e:
I like it, much better than the old one. I really hope they will update the graphics on the player models as well!


This is most certainly something we would like to do as well, but art development is something that is rather restricted by time. Our artists are a busy bunch of people, and unfortunately there is not enough time to do everything we want all at once. Right now our artists are working on a lot of different things related to the future of World of Warcraft, things I am sure you will learn more about sooner or later ;-)

In regards to Jaina’s new model, we felt that now was a good time to update her model since she will play an important part in The Frozen Halls in Icecrown Citadel. The update was meant to give her a slightly more unique look compared to other humans, but basically to let her keep the appearance that we all know so well... we did of course take the opportunity to give her model a greater texture resolution and a higher polygon count as well :-)

Q u o t e:
Jaina gets a new model, but Thrall and Garrosh dont?

What is this?


Nobody has said that other heroes will not receive similar updates in the future :-)
