Character Model Changing.

Hey, I play a human warlock on my server, hellscream.
After several months of wondering around as a big bulky dumb looking human, id like to change my graphic, ive seen it happen alot, night elfs turning their toons into undead....
Druid changing cat form into hogger....

My goal, is to turn my human into a Male undead.

the graphic could be rough, im just trying to get a different casting graphic primarily.

Has this been done before? is it simple? still legal?

If all is all, Id really appreciate some advice on how to go about this.
Im getting sick of consuming thousands of noggenfogger a month just to change to the undead graphic

Why is it illegal? I dont see why it would be, other then personal preference.

They force us to choose a race based on what class and traits we want, whats wrong with wanting something a little less ugly?

It goes against the Terms of Service you agree to everytime you log into the game. When I say not legal I mean in Blizzard's views. They have ways to detect model changes and ban people for it.

Also check out the forum Rules

Especially the part about breaking the ToS, etc.

They didn't force me. I chose my class because of many aspects, and the look was one of them. It's a game, no one will ever take decisions (especially about what character to play or how to play him/her) for me. If you won't want to be ugly, reroll and that's all. I still can't get that :/

Would it help if each class had a racial called "Ugly" or "Pretty look" so people would understand that it's really a part of the game?

I had to roll alliance, I didnt know anyone on horde side and Everyone I knew was alliance side.

I wanted a caster, dps, Mage or warlock.........Gnome.....or human.

Gnomes look even worse then humans, so im stuck with the least ugly caster dps race.

It isn't against Blizzard's rules. Period. End of discussion. Thus, end of discussion.
