Due to the discussion in another thread it has seemed that customization in general has been an extremely popular topic. Here, we can provide ourselves with a voice and list to Blizzard perhaps a few ideas we can look in to according to the race of your preference regardless of faction.
Just to drive the point home, this is a customization option thread and not a thread to request new races but to compile a list of customizations. This thread will be updated as regularly as I can stick my nose in here with ideas people have brought up.
Feel free to discuss any ideas you may want to share and remember just because it isn’t legitimate to someone else doesn’t mean it isn’t legitimate to you. So keep your hatred and anger at the door.
