The addition of more character creation WoTLK Gold options has long been a demand of the community of players, who feel that WoW's character-creation features are not up to par when it comes to other contemporary MMOs. Shadowlands has made significant progress in bridging the gap.

Blizzard has announced that the game's High Mountain Tauren race is the next to be added with additional choices for customization. When the options that are being added are to be added, it's now unknown. Shadowlands' patch 9.1 with the creation of a new dungeon and zone, was released on June 29. There is no specific date in the works for patch 9.1.5. Blizzard promises to keep players informed for more details.

As Blizzard seeks to expand the options for gamers to be able to communicate themselves within the game The WoW team has also been busy removing "not inappropriate" elements out of the game due to the law enforcement agency's California lawsuit that asserts Activision Blizzard is a hotbed for harassment and discrimination against women. A Burning Crusade Classic test realm has removed the capability to use the /spit emote on other players. The WoW team also removed the game's references to the former WoW buy WoTLK Classic Gold game director Alex Afrasiabi, who was identified as the direct subject of the California lawsuit.
