I recently ordered the $40.00 Internet stream for viewing Blizzcon, however I could not find where I was supposed to actually view it when Blizzcon comes around. Could the Queue, in it is infinite knowledge and handsome about WoW Account, God-like writer please tell me where I view the stream? What is the difference between a Contributing Editor and a Columnist? OK, Alexs answer was technically correct, but I am just throwing that out there.
This one may be sort of silly, but are you aware of any plans to improve the character models about WoW Account?
The short answer is that yes, Blizzard has been planning to improve the character models. The long answer is that they do not necessary want it to be a sudden thing, they do not want it to be the kind of graphics upgrade that took place in other games (more on this shortly), and a lot of the process is already quietly underway about WoW Account.
As commenters noted, on the Wrath beta they experimented with adding new textures to existing models. It was, per Tigole, just a "development experiment," but one that alternately shocked and intrigued the player base. Shocking, yes, because some of the textures it suggested that the next expansion was going to be World of Warcraft: Children of the Corn Epics LOL. Intriguing, because some of the less buggy textures that went live actually looked pretty neat, or at least I thought so. Of course, I could be barking up the wrong tree here and this had nothing to do with improving player textures, but it was still cool about WoW Account.
If you have seen the Secrets of Ulduar trailer, it is obvious that Blizzard has also been messing around with better character models -- at least for faction leaders and major lore figures -- because most (though not all) of the trailer was actual machinima created with ingame animations and emotes.
