[quote]My first World of Warcraft character is still around, largely unchanged even after 13 years. WoW’s character creator, too, exists in nearly the same, unchanged state. But with the upcoming Shadowlands expansion, character creation is getting a long-overdue upgrade that’ll give me something I’ve been yearning for: a real afro. This has been a long time coming. I’ve been playing World of Warcraft, which was my first MMORPG, for so long it’s hard to pinpoint exactly when I started. My first character was a human warlock (Affliction forever!) and I distinctly remember why I chose that combo over playing a gnomish warlock or a blood elf warlock (which should date this as sometime in ‘07): It was the only faction/race combo that allowed me to play as a Black person.[/quote]
