Character creation - Blue Tracker

#1 - Feb. 6, 2014, 11:36 p.m.

I have been only been playing for about a week now so I don't have much to stand on but I really think that wow could use some more character customization at the character creation. I kind of think that it will help out. (For example being able to choose how tall or how short your character is) There may be a way of doing that in the game but I don't know. What do you think?

The game isn't built to support variation of height or weight. It's not likely to happen either as it would effect the way armor is scaled to characters.

That's a good point.

Just for fun, if you could pick your top three character customization options, in order of preference, what would they be? For me:

1. Scars/tattoos/warpaint
2. More facial hair options for males
3. Racial 'variants' for those who have them

These would make a lot of people very happy...

Perhaps. One of the things that's tricky about customization options is that, as fun as they are, so much of a character's visuals are expressed via armor, weapons, and abilities. We spend comparatively little time seeing a character's face up close.

Don't get me wrong. I like them, and I always carefully make each character just so. I personally feel that a personalized character increases my personal connection to it. Still, it's a hard argument to ignore.
