Looking at all your started threads, a lot of thread title ends with "?!?!?!?!"... Just by that, we can't take you serious.

I don't think it's the time for this, maybe in the future if the community has a burnning desire for it, but not now.
There is some furry / scally races you can adjust their looks in some form but not much is known on them.
John is Christmas obsessed. 4 trees in the house, dogs dressed as reindeer etc.
I'm sure Steven will bend and we will see some stuff in the game probably better left on Earth.

The picture I am imagining is quite... holiday enthusiastic let's say
Even if the skins are temporarily allowed during said world events and in-game duration in relation, I can see the plausibility of their allowances.
Catering to a multitude of Earth cultures and denominations for holidays has made some games look like UN political correctness rallies.

And there is a strong argument to make for exactly that when it comes to asian furry... stuff. This is not a matter of commercial incentives, this is a matter of the creative head of a fantasy world maintaining the integrity and consistency of his world.
So to answer your question: No, Intrepid does not seem to want your wallet under the presented condition.
A few comments for reference on the matter:
"Tulnar do not equal furries, but there are definitely some bestial components that you can scale up when you're creating your Tulnar character, so you could max that setting I guess. Whether or not that would give you what you would think of as a furry, I guess it's going to be up to your interpretation of what a Furry is."

"There's going to be constraints to the sliders, so that was one of those big questions as work began on the character creator: How much agency do you want to allow pulling like the lower lip all the way down in this weird deformed look, or having like [an] offset cheek that's just asymmetrical to the side of the face. There's not going to be the ability or agency to create those types of weird character things. However you will have the ability to move, slide, change, grow, decrease all those components, but they'll be kept in a more reasonable and presented way in the same sense you won't be able to change the appearance of the dwarven, nor the Dünir or the Niküan races to, in my opinion, create what would be traditionally considered a **** character." source: Steven Sharif; Wiki - Character appearance

i dunno tulnars spose to be able t ogo rather humanish to beastish in char select the tulanr we saw were heavy beastial slider so who know how far it goes with the hunan side of things
So, the consensus is no cat girls, but all-in on candy cane swords? /s
these dudes wanna lick some sweet swords during xmas i guess.
dont ban me pls im just playing ;3
and gingerbread freehold skins
I know you weren't (fully?) serious about this but these gimmicky cosmetics just repel me like nothing else. I'd hate to see some gingerbread house standing in the middle of the desert X(
I don't think the Asian style we see in their MMOs needs to be what Ashes does. But something tasteful could work. I also agree with the post above. I would love to see a cat like race and a canine or wolf-like race as well. One day.
I prefer my games with more purity for immersion too but it's only a matter of time as it does seem like that type of game and company with the supporters they're attracting via design choices. It's also why I said temporary allowance which means they can only be used during the holiday event and not a year round thing.
IE: can only use those skins during the 2 week event etc.
As for cat girl ears... it's always plausible at some point whether it's anthropomorphic via races like tulnar or cosmetics but to what degree is up to the design team and player base. Doesn't have to be anime cat girls lol. Anthropomorphic is a scale from realistic to cartoonish, various reptilian and mammal etc which pretty much describes the tulnar. We already have several races with pointed ear options via character creator.
who knows, maybe even the corrupted zones will be holiday influenced during certain world events like demonic snowmen world bosses whipping dreadful snow and ice spells at the raid, maybe an abominable snowman like a yeti lol
I still remember christmas decorations all over Orgrimmar - what a horrible time to have eyes.
Anyways, I doubt the scale system for the animalistic features will allow players to make a manga-style catgirl, something just tells me this is not how this feature will work.
Aren't we all sinners?
