World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Hands-on

[Taluntain]

WotLK is inching closer to release, so Eurogamer has taken a closer look, complete with new screenshots. Here's a bit about barbershops (yes, no typo):

The inclusion of barbershops is simultaneously the silliest, and the longest sought-after. Goblin-run barbers will appear in the major cities of Azeroth - Stormwind, Ironforge, Orgrimmar, Undercity and Dalaran, the capital of the new conteninent Northrend - as well as in Area 52 in Outland. At these, you can change your hairstyle, hair colour and one other facial feature (facial hair, jewellery, tusks and so on).

There's a simple interface: sit in the chair, browse the possible changes, click OK and you're done. The cost is 3 gold and change, so if you want a complete makeover, it'll cost you just shy of 10g: pocket-money to a level 70, expensive for younger characters - but then, they're less likely to be bored or embarrassed by their look.

Expect randomly exploding hair-do's. More here.
