Greetings
I’ve recently been scrolling through the GD forums for threads associated with cosmetic suggestions from the community. Thought it’d be nice if we have some kind of compilation or index of all the great write ups people have done.
Hopefully Blizzard has some of this in the radar, as we’re seeing the customizations part gain a small traction for 9.1.5. If I have missed any feel free to add!

We should be the ones thanking you and the other writers! Amazing dedication and research. I’ve added the Saberon to the list! Can’t believe I missed that one.
Aw! Thanks for including my threads! What a wholesome this one is. This is very kind to do, and it’s awesome to see people looking at customization and our ideas enough to be put together and shown in an index.
It also shows how much work our communities put into these things which is so neat. Love you folks who give ideas like this on the forums.
No no no no no no no no something is wrong here ,this isnt happening . We are not gonna tolerate all of this thankfull ness or gratitute or liking posts . Stop it right now its giving me anxiety !
When it comes to any MMORPG, the player character is the most important part of the game, and as you can see throughout all the race request and customization megathreads, there is a lot of passion that shows this perfectly.
The work we put in shows off our dedication to our player characters, whether it’s to improve our vision of our existing characters or to create brand new ones. Several of us have this passion for specific races as well that would make for wonderful playable races and add a lot to world building in general.
It makes for a really diverse community. Moreso when you get people who really get into their character. Whether it’s the player that likes to be his rowdy Dwarf character, the player who likes their elegant elf character, or the player that wants to smash things up as his Ogre character. It really adds to the world to have players like this in the game.
I do not consider my megathreads to be perfect by any means and I do not seek fame of any sort. I do so out of passion for specific races that I would love to see playable. It’s the same for the other race request megathreads I’m sure, where they too have similar passions and dreams of being able to add their characters of said races onto their character list upon logging into the game.
I view new customization options and races as long-term investments. They last throughout the game’s lifespan, and often can make a player’s day to see them become available. While I don’t expect all these requests implemented at the same time, I hope Blizzard keeps an open mind as they see the work that we have done on here to show off our support, often for the long haul. There are a lot of great ideas shown here that would be amazing to see become part of the game.
I sincerely hope people get their wishes granted, whether it’s customization options or their dream playable race becoming a reality. We all have different interests and passions, and that to me just creates an awesome community. I give my support to each of the megathreads listed here, and hope we all see the fruits of our labor grow and flourish in the near future.
Much love from the Saurok and Stonemaul Ogre megathreads!
Just to add to this, I measure the success of my own threads off of Bagzaks. I constantly wish I had the time and energy to write such well thought out and always thought provoking posts about the races and customization I support.
