Players regretting their beta toon’s hairstyle logged in to a welcome update today, alongside some standard bug fixes and an interesting change to the Death Knight talent formerly known as “Hysteria”.

Barbershop Updates

The barbershop, which was previously a paid out-of-game service, is now open for business in Dalaran and all major cities. While you won’t be able to change your race or faction in WotLK Classic, you will be able to head to the floating city and change your hair’s style and color, your piercings and skin color, and even your face! (It’s a magical barber, OK?) Currently, getting your trim costs nothing, but given that there’s a place in the UI for a price, it seems safe to assume that it won’t be free come launch.

Death Knight Talent Change

The other noteworthy change is to the Death Knight talent Hysteria, which has been renamed Unholy Frenzy. Given the recent trend of renaming or otherwise modifying potentially problematic content in their games, it seems safe to assume that this talent was renamed due to the term’s controversial 19th-century use to describe a supposedly diagnosable illness in women.

Finally, today’s update included the usual plethora of bug fixes, including the bug that allowed Rogues to have far too many talent points. Many known issues with Death Knight spells and talents also seem to have been corrected.

Unfortunately, there are still only level 70 character templates available, and the Arena has not been implemented.
