It looks like character copies are on the horizon for EU players in the WoD beta!
Chris Robinson, Senior Art Director at Blizzard, has gone to twitter to explain that sadly the blood elf model update will not make it at the WoD launch. However the Trolls will still make it for launch! The artcraft should come next week or the week after.
We’ve been receiving a lot of questions about Blood Elves, so I wanted to give an update, cont.

As we near the end of development, it’s become apparent that the new Blood Elf models won’t be finished to meet our standards before launch.

I spoke too soon previously, and apologize. Blood Elves WILL be updated, and we’re pushing hard to get them out as quick as we can.

@perculia They won’t be ready by Warlords launch (but will be added later).

to clarify- mentioned a while back that BC races would be included with initial batch. Draenei are prolific in WoD so we started with them

Since that time it has become apparent that Blood Elves will not be up to par for launch. I sincerely apologize for setting that expectation

We are working hard to complete the models and get them in-game, but that won’t happen until sometime post WoD launch.

Trolls will be in at launch, Troll Artcraft coming up either next week or the week after.

@MagdalenaDK @artofcgrobinson They're the only Classic/TBC race that won't be ready for 6.0, yes.
