My new look is yet to show up here D:
Itâs okay. We donât all develop the same way, and everyone goes through changes at their own pace. <3
Fabolus new fur color!
Gice it the Worgen paw print of approval
Good taste. 
You guys are so lucky I have nothing much to change with Erah so the new options for me are useless Ugh!
I do not like the short elf ears. Warcraftâs elves have these iconic long, slender ears and these nubby new ones look all wrong.
Maybe itâd be okay if they were exclusive to a new kind of elf but frankly, weâve quite enough already.

I admit that the shortest ear type looks strange to me as well; the mid-length is okay, though none of my elves use it. On the other hand, I like the âchewedâ ears night elves can get, as they suit my Death Knight perfectly.
Speaking of character customisation, Iâm not sure if itâs more of funny or sad that I was looking forward to the human customisation options and⌠mostly ended up styling my charactersâ eyebrows.

Those are fantastic.
Thatâs to be expected. Your character has an established look. The new options are for new characters or to make major adjustments to conform to a long held true mental image.

That is definitely true; my human warrior is one of those latter cases, though, so I was expecting (or probably even hoping) that I would change his looks more. His in-game appearance has never quite reflected my mental image of him, and sadly enough the new options didnât help (though I liked them otherwise).
If name/race change werenât so expensive, I would probably turn him into something else. I do like him as a character, too, though, so Iâll make do with more slender eyebrows and a description in RP add-on.
What really bugs me is the way the void elves now have pink to brown skintones but the npcs are still all blue but for Alleria who for all her shadowy powers is not in fact a void elf. Or at least not the same kind as Umbricâs blue host of player characters.
Itâs as though anything but the standard isnât quite canon.
Cant, you just make it that youâre the special or rare void elf that doesnât look purple something thatâs a rare trait amongst the VE. so that it doesnât look too jarring.
To me, itâs not canon and fair-skinned Void Elves were just meant to be high elves or blood elven defectors.
Ehhh. I feel like itâs one of those teeny tiny details itâs not worth getting hung up on. I think itâs safe to say that the void affects people differently, and their skin could turn all kinds of fair or deep blue, as well as provide them with differently-tendrilâd hair styles.
There are just more options for people to make the characters they want to make. Whether itâs a fair-skinned void elf, a dark-skinned blood elf, or a high elf of some sort. Itâs all good in my book.
I mean, you do you. But there are probably better things I can spend my time having a hardline stance on. Probably.
B-but Iâm tan.
The one thing I will not abide is erasing all signs of voidelf-ness. If one is pink with blue eyes and a somewhat natural hair colour, whatâs even the point unless playing a high elf? Those pale, creepy eyes are here to stay.
My new look is finally here!

Is anything really canon. letâs be honest, blizzard with their writing just retcons everything ina few years. I think itâs about time we just accepted the madness of it and move on
All of our characters arenât really canon but Iâll make my own stories regardless. Most of my characters have nothing to do with the Shadowlands and will be pursuing independent adventures.

The freedom to choose and make your own stories is the best part of this game (or any MMO, really). Iâm considering throwing Aenor into Shadowlands even though he isnât the all-mighty champion of Azeroth. One reason is that some of the Shadowlands story content could help him get up from the nigh-inescapable pit of depression that he has sunken into, but mainly I just love exploring new places in roleplay.
I might end up mostly roleplaying on my own (or with a few trusted friends), but still, there is something enchanting about discovering something new IC while itâs still new to me OOC as well. Hopefully I can justify his presence in the new areas somehowâŚ
An interesting topic, to be certain! Gilrom shall definitely cross the veil and fight in the Shadowlands alongside other death knights.
Itâs going to be glorious. 
Iâm sort of expecting an existential crisis for my girl. Sheâs been faithful to the Light, done what she believed was right to break apart the Legionâs might. Rhymes aside, this path then cast her into the Void and reshaped her on an outright metaphysical level and with the revelation of the Shadowlands things just get worse. Assuming the Maw business is eventually concluded, sheâs demonstably a big enough bad girl to have to face Revendreth for a timeless aeon of torments if she even has a conventional soul left to harvest. It may well be that her eternity is just as an anguished wisp of inky, oily Voidstuff in the darkness beyond until itâs spun into parts of a new voidwalker by the swirling chaos.
