Shadowlands has a lot to offer in character creation. This way, every character in World of Warcraft finally looks unique.
In recent weeks, we have talked a lot about the major innovations of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. From the Tower of Torghast to the Covenants to the individual zones like Ardenweald or Bastion. But we have only briefly touched on a small feature, even though it makes me, Cortyn from MeinMMO, extremely happy.
Because the new character customization will probably connect me to the game more than some other features.
Until now, character customization in WoW has been rather limited. There are only a few different options per race, and usually many players walk around with the same customizations, because many simply look terrible.

And honestly: It happens quite often that you encounter a character that looks quite similar to your own. Especially with the more popular races like Humans, Blood Elves, or Draenei, this is regularly the case. I always think secretly, “Hey, delete yourself, that’s my character!” and feel a little annoyed. After all, such a character is something you connect with a lot.
The better it will be in Shadowlands. When I already see what new combinations and what a variety of options will be possible in Shadowlands, I am really satisfied.
Every day new screenshots of players appear in the WoW subreddit, showing either in the Alpha of Shadowlands or the dressing room of Wowhead as they create their characters. For example, take this picture here:

Night Elves, as they should look
Just seeing how many different, cool characters there are makes me happy. Night Elves with leaves in their hair, great beards on Humans, empty eye sockets, necklaces, and jewelry, or just the new hairstyles. All of this looks so good that when Patch 9.0 releases, I will probably spend a whole day just at the hairdresser to make my characters look like how I’ve always described them in RP.
Of course, character customization as a whole is just a small piece of the puzzle, and if the gameplay features don’t fit, it helps very little. But finally having “my” character and being quite sure that maybe only one or two others on the realm have the exact same appearance – that makes me very, very happy.
And who has not always wanted to have leaves in the hair of a Night Elf to finally recreate the famous artwork from Warcraft 3?
