Yes, take in the title for a second, you read it correctly. There was some buzz a while back about a mystery service that would be offered from Blizzard in it’s mega hit World of Warcraft and now we know what it is, a sex change. For $15 you can change the sex of and look of your character in the world of Azeroth, my thoughts are that this is retarded. I would have thought that changing your race would be a much more interesting thing for players as there are some racial benefits that are better for certain classes, changing your sex is just odd, I have never played a female character in any game and I do not understand a need to change my characters gender? I file this one in the WTF files, what do you think?
Ready for a new look in World of Warcraft, but the barbershop’s just not cutting it? You can now change a character’s gender, face, skin color, and other cosmetic features (such as tauren horn styles or a night elf’s facial markings) using the brand-new Character Re-Customization service. Available at the Account Management page for a flat fee of $15, Character Re-Customization covers all available cosmetic options for a single character and includes an optional name change to go with your new look. For more information, see the FAQ — or log in to the Character Re-Customization page now to begin the process of reinventing the new you!

100% unnecessary. race, yes, gender… no one cares. seriously. Even if it was free it would be useless, but $15? Really? The haircuts were cool, this is just dumb.
I think that this would have been cool if they offered a race change. I don’t actually play wow but I don’t think that I would pay $15 to change my gender / looks when most classes have armor covering their body anyways.

@ Ian & Mix - Completely agreed. Armor covers a large portion of your body and makes your features almost negligible. Also paying $15 just to do this is dumb, unless I can change my character indefinitely and that is still not worth it. I was expecting Race changes, that would have been more interesting.
