Blizzard has unveiled the new "skins" for the Druid Cat & Bear forms. The color combinations of these new forms will be loosely tied to the skin/hair color/markings on the humanoid. At this time there are no announced changes to the Owlkin or Tree forms.
For those of you that don't know, BlizzCon is a convention for all things Blizzard. This has primarily been World of Warcraft, but they're launching Diablo 3 & Starcraft 2 soon & those franchises are likely to take off like gang-busters again.
Last year, Nightwind & I went to BlizzCon in October. Unfortunately, Blizzard moved this years BlizzCon to mid-August & so it happens to be the week after school starts here, so no family trip out west for it. :S
More information is now coming out about the DirecTV options. Last year, if you went to the show, or purchased the package got a Polar Bear mount with a Murloc riding atop it. This year, in addition to the DirecTV offering, they're also offering an Internet Streaming
version for non-DirecTV customers! WooHoo!!!
Fishing now allowed in ANY zone, but only catch junk if skill is too low.
Paragon of Power no longer required to apply Glyphs.
Can no longer fail when Mining, Skinning or Herbing.
New dungeon maps have been added for all Wrath of the Lich King dungeons.
A new feature has been added allowing players to allocate talent points
before confirming they'd like to spend them. This feature must be
turned on in the Interface Options.
Okay, I just saw this on the Blizzard homepage & WOR!!! I may have to seriously look into some of these changes.
Character Re-Customization
Welcome to the Character Re-Customization page. This service lets you customize your character's appearance, and includes an optional name change. Please note that each customization costs $15.00 USD per character customized. If you plan on changing the character's name during the customization, please familiarize yourself with the World of Warcraft Naming Policy.
Things to know before you start!
This service lets you change your character's gender, face, hair and skin color, hairstyle, name, and other cosmetic features determined by their race and gender combination. You cannot, however, change your character's race or class.
Each Character Re-Customization costs $15.00 USD (not including applicable taxes). This covers a single customization for a single character.
A character may only be customized once every 30 days.
If you change the character's name during this process, the name you choose must be available on the character's realm, and must be within the World of Warcraft Naming Policy.
A Character Re-Customization cannot be reversed once completed, except by a second customization operation (subject to the above costs and limitations).
If you change the character's name during this process, then once the name change is completed, your character's old name will be locked from use on the realm for 90 days. After that time, the old name becomes available again and can be claimed by anyone on its realm on a first-come, first-served basis.
