Feel like you picked the wrong gender for your WoW character? Your problems can now be solved for a meager fee.

Whether you feel like making some major life-changing decisions for your favorite WoW character or simply are in need of a full makeover, Blizzard is now offering a handy new character re-customization feature that lets you make all manner of visual adjustments. No questions asked.

As advertized: “Ready for a new look in World of Warcraft but the barbershop’s just not cutting it? You can now change a character’s gender, face, skin color, and other cosmetic features (such as tauren horn styles or a night elf’s facial markings) using the brand-new character re-customization service.”

For a flat fee of $15 (plus taxes), you can access the character re-customization service from the WoW account management page. The fee gives you access to make major cosmetic adjustments to a single character. There’s also an option to change their name, if you choose. Unfortunately, the service doesn’t let you change your character’s race or class. Bummer.
