New hairstyles (African, African American, and Black)

Sorry, that would cost us a raid tier and the soul of a developer’s firstborn child.

This is a good idea and I am all for it as well as more options in general so people can feel more immersed and included.

The fact that this was flagged however is seriously why I don’t interact with this community at large anymore. Hopefully, with the social contract and them cracking down on behavior in game we will see a change in this soon.

As promised, below are the links to various customization threads for several races! I’ve separated them into Alliance and Horde, to make it easier to navigate and read. There may be more around, so this isn’t an exhaustive list. Just click on the Summaries and give them a visit!

So because a lot of idiots believe in non-scientific things, now we are supposed to cater towards them? It doesn’t make any sense. We have had enough people dead over that stupid idea. I know that Americans do not know history; however, because of this concept, we had such movements as White and Black Supremacies.
I do not dislike your idea, but it is just stupid to say that haircuts or whatever belong to a certain group of people. Like there was another idiot who said something about Caucasian.

I never said it was stupid to apply haircut to everyone. There are literally no such words in my message.
And having a certain type of hair does not cause a human to have a certain haircut (unless we are talking about specific cases which are so few that it does not make any sense)
I understand that you are an American, and your IQ is probably around 70. Please, read some books, take your daily pills, relax, touch some grass, and educate yourself before posting stupid things on forum.

there are cultures full of different hairstyles.
you have problems, localdealer. Don’t attack me or my intelligence because you don’t want people with different fantasies and cultures other than yourself not to have a voice.

you: “race doesn’t exist, yet ‘they’ don’t have hair to represent. nor would they want options available.”
The boy in your ‘gif’ would love to have his hairstyle represented. at a minimum. you portraying him in this manner while saying he doesn’t get a ‘voice’ to represent a wide variety of cultural hairstyles is appalling.

you are arguing that people with different hairstyles are not allowed to participate in this type of game because you -individually- refuse to believe that African Americans have hair enough to be recognized or included. You regurgitated how race doesn’t exist, yet you say they don’t have hair at all and all people only have short hairstyles from ‘black’ cultures or other skin tones. There is such thing as African culture and black culture where they have different hairstyles. google “African American hairstyles” add male into it too to see. There are some really cool hairstyles that people would want their heroes to have.

Can I now get day glow red hair?

While we’re appropriating things, I want a hat like Thelonious Monk.

Hey now, don’t forget void and blood elves in that. We’d love those hairstyles being added.

Honestly it’d be really nice to see that added to orcs and trolls and forsaken and other races as well… honestly all races would be nice.

YESYESYESYESYES. Ugh this annoys me to no end.

Also: I support the OP! There are so many cool hairstyles artists can create with kinky/curly textured hair.

Unironically, yes to all of that. As the world moves past the whole “we gotta kill each other 24/7,” or just allowing us to explore more sides to the world. Yes, to all of that.

I too unironically want all these things. But I still wanna kill everyone in the world as well. I just think it should include peoples of my own faction as well.

Yeah, I think something like warmode should be free for all. Everyone is on equal footing, and you remove the issue of “I am getting outnumbered as alliance” or whatever.
