Blizzard first announced the paid re-customization features during this year's BlizzCon event, and it's finally here. The service allows players to re-do their characters' cosmetic aspects. From the facial features and hair style, everything is subject to change, even going as far as a new name.
It's the game's version of Extreme Makeover, but you can also change your gender, without any experience of unwanted hormonal complications, or pull a Michael Jackson and change your skin tone while you're at it, though your race will have to remain the same.
In short, for just $15 USD plus tax, your ugly characters, which you must have grown so tired of during your last months (years?) of playing, can become brand sparkling new once again! Well, at least when you aren't hiding them under the same thick layers of fantasy armor.
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.
Make your way to the World of Warcraft website for more on this if you feel like trying it out.
