...Can we expect the CNY Costume Pack to be released on Tuesday, January 24th?

Love those Shoes and Shoulder pads. Sword has a good looking hilt and the hat! Finally something that look royal! felt that we've had a lack of royalty outfits.

Any medieval pack might change that too

Ooh, sweet. That's awesome. Although I have to say that the male hat/helmet is patently ridiculous.

I was hopin' by this comment:

Chinese new year!
It would be out by then.

I guess we'll see.

If only that was in the Highlights.

Thank you.

The female outfit just does not seem right to me for some reason. I do not know what it is, I just cant put my finger on it. It just screams at me like something is wrong with me. I am no artist or expert at the Chinese New Year costumes, it is my opinion.

It was in the highlights thread, as posted by Zwill himself:

Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

It could just be the hands on the model -- they're weird looking ( ' ;

I am psyched for it, any eastern-themed costumes are welcome additions to the game, and i'm glad for what i get. Not crazy about the sword, but we have a dao and jian in the natural pack, so its all good. In another thread, it was hoped that staff melee would also have a guan-do(chinese glaive) that would really look great with this pack, hope it gets in. now for a cheongsam and kimono

Maybe because it looks nothing like traditional chinese attire and more like something befitting of my totally-not-a-female-bloodelf-warlock MM

Really, nothing suggests its Chinese except for the model its on. I'm thrilled that the male's armor will be available to females though.

I doubt it's a hairstyle.
