The aesthetic consequences of new character models
Joystiq by Matthew Rossi Jan 23rd 2012 at 4:00PM This is neither a post excoriating nor exulting but rather simply contemplating the process of updating character models in World of Warcraft. I got to thinking about this when I realized that I'm always … |
It’s become sort of an undercurrent in a lot of WoW lore discussion lately that not everyone is happy with their leaders. Varian is too angry and doesn’t do anything. Jaina’s an appeaser and a crybaby. Malfurion’s a jerk. Sylvanas is so evil that she makes Arthas look like a little puppy.
Of course, Blizzard has a whole new expansion coming soon, so we may just see more from these leaders that could change our minds — or at least let us accept their story arcs. That said, what if Blizzard took an opposite tack? What if it just either killed off the leaders or swept them to the side and let other characters step up to drive the narrative going forward?

When a buddy asked me to consider coming back to Warcraft after a failed attempt shortly after the original release, I reluctantly decided to create a new account. When he asked me what faction and class I wanted to play, I settled on an Alliance paladin after researching classes online. I wasn’t entirely sure what exactly a tank, healer and DPS meant in practice, but the paladin could do all three, so that’s what I’d be. Plus, they sounded like defenders of all that was right and true.
It turns out, that was the easy part of creating my character. Next, I spent time agonizing over the name. I’d look for ones I liked from the randomly generated suggestions. Then I’d try combining elements of one name with another. I tried using simple words from foreign languages. Finally, I found the perfect name that would define my character for life, a Greek word representing one of the core values of a paladin: Truth.
Having picked a class and name, it was finally time to tinker with the races that could be paladins and see which ones fit the new name. After probably about 100 permutations across classes, from random appearances to manually matching features, I settled on a human, and my journey began.
How did you create your first character? Did someone recommend a class for you? Did the flavor text on the creation screen influence you? Or have you always known what you’d be?

GuildOx, one of the premier services that ranks, tracks, and parses the top guilds and their progression in WoW, has been using Blizzard’s new character APIs to some pretty hilarious ends. After mining out 11 million character names, GuildOx has sent us the most popular character names by class in World of Warcraft. As you’d expect, the pun meter is off the charts. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. Your immersion will be broken. Let’s have a look at the most popular names in World of Warcraft.
Warriors
Warrior characters love using skill names or the rage mechanic in their names. I’m actually a culprit of this phenomenon, except I like to think I was clever about it. My Night Elf warrior, for the brief time that I was raiding on the Alliance side of things, was named Rageleaf. It was awesome. Stop judging me.
