Yeah... all the hooved ones seem really bad, it just bends so wrong.
After seeing this though, the troll female seems pretty nice, and depending on the other movements I might make one. That, or orc female, I desperately lack either one ;) (that means, I want to make them, but can't seem to get them to fit the classes that are not set in stone race-wise for me ;))

wow...all those broken wrists and ham hands look painful. Looks like the animations are the same for all races too. Hope we can recreate out characters when the new models hit. Possibly even a free race change for those who are unhappy with the new look of their race. Would only seem fair since we have no idea what things will look like once they are upgraded.

I totally agree that we should atleast get a free character customization. I've had that thought all along, since things WILL look different, if only slight..

i would be very supriced if we dident get free character costomization when new models hit.
I would think that it would force all characters to "apparence reset" and making you costumize before entering the world again.
Race change i wouldnt have my hopes up for though.

While this feature of the Grimtotem Spirit Guide wasn't exactly intended... - it will still be possible in future for everyone who wishes to tame this NPC to do so

I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't. Folks, lets not make the same mistake many did with the AP Beta Invite bit. Do not expect a Free Character Customization just because they're revamping the models. You can hope they do, but don't bog yourself down with disappointment if they don't.

No, don't get me wrong. I totally understand that there is a pretty big chance they will not allow us a free customization, especially when you can change so much for in-game money at the barber, but since people get fond of the looks of their characters, I hope they will give us that. I personally don't know if I would use it, since I tend to really, REALLY get locked on my characters looks. I wouldn't even change my mains hair for the achievement, I just changed her hair colour and then immediately changed it back. I can't change anything on her as it is now, because it just wouldn't be her anymore.

I know how that is. I've tried having Jetfyre with white and blue hair....I just couldnt. She didnt feel.....Jetfyre to me. So I put her as purple hair like she originally had.

A bit off topic, but when I tried the barber shop I noticed that both my draeneis have exactly one other colour option for their hair ( hunter light teal/dark green and priest white/dirty blonde), but everything else was no go. And I couldn't do anything to my gnome mage except change her earrings, and my NE druid had a one different tattoo option that still felt like her.

Funny how we get a feel about something, huh? My draeneis both felt a bit "angrier" during Wrath with their darker hairs, gnome was the same and NE felt a bit calmer.

Heh, I leveled my worgen druid with gray fur/animal forms and a different hairstyle, and liked her but didn't feel that attached, but as soon as I changed her to black fur/animal forms and the long bangs hairstyle something just clicked and she felt the way she was meant to be.

Sometimes I'll change my draenei main's horns but that almost never lasts long.
