WoW‘s fifth anniversary and the interviews surrounding it have ended up providing us with some previously-unknown tidbits of information — which is a good thing, especially when it comes to stuff we’ve been wanting to hear about for a long time.
This particular tidbit comes from the Warcry network interview with J. Allen Brack and Samwise Didier about the game’s anniversary, and it’s about a subject near and dear to our constantly-complaining hearts: new character models. They might even be coming in Cataclysm.
Says Brack:
“Even though things would be better with new (character) models, we’d probably spark a lot of player outrage. So we’ve talked about giving players a choice between the classic models or the new ones, but it might not be something we want to take on at the same time as we remake Azeroth.”
That’s pretty big news.
We’ve been wondering about the status of these old models for a long time. His language indicates that it might not be a Cataclysm feature, but we sure hope so. Troll models are a bit long in the tooth — pardon the pun — and human males desperately need an update more than almost anything. But really, all of the pre-BC models do. Even just a few extra polygons
Staghelm responds:
I don’t know how much more clearly I can write “make sure to send this to my P.O. box” on these forms.
That’s all for our audience with Archdruid Fandral Staghelm! Next week, we’ll be speaking with Regent-Lord Lor’themar Theron of Silvermoon! If you have questions for the Regent-Lord, whether you need advice or have questions about hair product or bows or anything in between, send them via email to sacco@wow.com with the subject line “AAFL”.
