Cant wait, I love pretty characters and even the Draenei females look cool. For some reason the Draenei males remind me of He-Man.......

Those are all just reskinned night elves? is this a joke by blizzard or is this for real? 60 million a month in revenue sure as fuck doesn't buy what it used to I guess.

It hurts my teeth looking at wow's character generator after playing city of villains. or even EQ2. Or almost EQ1. A SELECTION OF FIVE FACES AND FOUR HAIR STYLES. BE FEARED!

There are some closeups on the character select info for both races as well as a buttload of screenshots at this link.

Draenei look like Night Elves with a tail and Tauren with a different head.

It's what blood elves always looked like anyway.

The Blood Elves aren't just retextured Night Elves, they created new models for them with higher polycounts. But good christ they look pretty terrible! I think the biggest problem is their poses. Could the male BE please put his crotch away, he's scaring the children. And lose the crookedness, it reminds of shitty Luclin elf poses.

I'm not a big fan of the exaggerated DBZ style anime hair.
Bu then again, I'm not exactly a big fan of anime... the SOGA anime style models for EQ2 aren't too bad. Understated and tame in comparison.

And lose the crookedness,

Try standing in that pose for more than 5 seconds....

I think they look good. All of them. I like the cockiness of the Blood Elves. There's definatly a touch of anime in there, but that will make killing the smug bastards a bit more satisfying.

Of course, nothing has ever come close to CoH's character generator. Kinda sad really, that was by far the best part of that game IMO. You'd think other company's would've ripped it off by now. I never saw 2 people that were the same. WoW should at least let you change the color of your armour (but not the shitty way EQ did). Of course, that would just cause everyone to dye their stuff black...
