    Which NPC race do you want to see graphically updated?

    With most of the new races unveiled now and many other classic TBC models being revamped for Draenor, we still have a ton of races that are still stuck in 2004.

    Murlocs, Quillboars, Centaurs, even the basic Skeleton and Zombie models. If you could choose to update one NPC race, which one would it be?

    For me I personally think the Satyrs could use an update. They're not very prominent in the world, but they still appear here and there occassionally and their lanky faux-Night Elf bodies don't hold up today. A close second would be Naga, and I'd love to see what Blizzard can do adding a few more bones to their tails for proper slithering animations.

    What would you like to see revamped?

    Just as a reminder, we still have the old elf models around Blasted Lands in that cave with the blood mage gnome alliance-side and the Altar of Storms. My personal pick would be a race we see often like murlocs from your example. I think I would have to pick maybe ogres? But they're getting WoD models (not sure for Azeroth as well though).

    Naga would be awesome, although I'd love to see better versions of the all of the "lesser" or more common Scourge mobs, such as ghouls, skeletons, banshees, etc.

    I would like to see centaurs getting major overhaul and some more presence.
    Other than that, kobolds and gnolls are the races that look really bad now, and given the fact that they are seen quite often, it would be great to see them remade.

    Definitely Murlocs as they're the most common "quest fodder" race. But really all of those races could do with an update.

    Can we get this font for everyone please? So much more pleasing to the eye.

    OT: Naga, Kobolds and Gnolls.

    When I first encountered one after Cata launched ... I was like "WTF is that!"

    Personally I'd like to see centaurs updated (or perhaps a completely new model to be frank), and more centaur involvement, although Murlocs are in so many zones across the game that perhaps an update to them would have the most impact.

    I'd really like to see the likes of the banshee, skeleton and ghoul model updated to look more unnerving and creepy.

    I would like centaurs, dryads/keepers and naga updated.

    Ghouls would be awesome, since it'll affect Death Knights aswell.

    Nagas were updated in Cata (they are now too flashy for me). Satyrs got new texture too (Crystalsong ones for example). Would like to see some kobolds, gnolls and quilboars.

    I'd gladly take 12 months of nothing new but an entire texture and models update

    Who's up for it?

    I'm still itching to see the pre-corrupted Arakkoa models! Aside from those, all Burning Legion mobs, especially fel hunters and terrorguards, Skeleton mobs, cheetah (Mainly updated for travel form), moon/owlkins, rams (Vicious War Ram, please!) and warp stalkers.
    Isn't it ironic how education is important, yet people forget all about it when they visit the internet?

    Naga, furbolg and azeroth Ogres

    After that:
    Mountain Giants

    iirc Murlocs got a revamp with cata,at least the ones found in new zones and they are using it in the revamped BFD on the beta. I'd probably say Gnolls/Kobolds tho, tho most of the old world and some TBC mobs need a model upgrade,they just look silly compared to stuff added later

    Edit: yep, "Deep Sea" Murlocs http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/...seamurlocs.jpg
