TRANSMOG
Opt-in confirmed
Blizzard uses the phrase opt-in in the panel recap.
TRANSMOG / VISUALS
Transmog in WoW Forever
The opt-in appearance system, HD and SD model options, restored Classic animations, and what the switch still does not explain.
STATUS / PLAYER CHOICE
Transmog is opt-in, but Blizzard has not explained the control or collection rules.
The panel recap lists opt-in Transmog, modern and Classic visual presets, HD and SD character-model options, restored Classic animations for HD models, and official gamepad support. The settings are related but not identical.
QUICK REFERENCE
The short version
MODELS
HD / SD toggle
The gameplay trailer shows a separate model option.
PRESETS
Modern / Classic
Both visual presets are listed as player choices.
MECHANICS
Not announced
Collection, cost, restrictions, and visibility are unknown.
CONFIRMED
Two separate visual choices
Transmog changes appearance; the model toggle changes rendering presentation.
Opt-in Transmog
Blizzard includes Transmog under player choice and says it is opt-in. The location of the switch is not published.
HD and SD models
The trailer displays an SD/HD Character Toggle. That is a character-model option, not proof of how appearance collection works.
Classic animations
The panel recap says Classic animations are restored for HD character models, alongside modern and Classic visual presets.
OPEN RULES
Questions before a collection guide is possible
The announcement establishes the choice, not the interface.
Where you opt in
Blizzard has not said whether the setting lives in interface options, on the character, or per item slot.
Who sees it
It is not stated whether opting out hides other players’ appearances as well as your own.
Collection and cost
Account-wide collection, armor restrictions, vendors, costs, and unlock rules remain unknown.
