As part of this week’s WoW Forever beta update, Blizzard added new Goblin barbershops to the cities of Darnassus and Thunder Bluff! These barbershops allow players to re-customize their characters even after character creation, making them a great quality-of-life addition to the game.
CHANGE LOG
- There are now barbershops in Darnassus and Thunder Bluff, all barbershops now have barbers working at them, and city guards will give directions to barbershops.
However, Blizzard has heard player feedback that Goblins in these main cities may not fit aesthetically, and they are looking to replace these Goblins with city-relevant characters in a future build.
While quality-of-life features are a welcome addition to the Classic environment, it’s also great that the developers are listening to player feedback and maintaining the original vibe of the Vanilla world. One Goblin barber that will be sticking around is the one who resides in Undercity, but WoW Forever Principal Game Designer Johnny Cash assures us that this is relevant to the lore of the latest Warcraft III expansion – Forsaken Kingdom.
| “As a small clarification, Glix Xizzix in the Undercity will remain, as he has a narrative reason to be there. Worth checking out Forsaken Kingdom if you haven’t yet to see how he ended up there!” |
