Someone hasn’t watched the opening video of WotLK. See it here:

Blizzard made the eyes glow to be consistent with what they were creating. All of the lich king’s servants have glowing blue eyes due to the necromantic power they were imbued with upon turning. I like the glowing eyes, and I hope that blizzard makes it optional if only for the fact that I don’t want to hear people complaining about it. You aren’t going to be playing a character with “flashlights” for eyes, they aren’t that bright, and as you’re going to be facing _away_ from your character for most of the game, I don’t see why it should matter to you anyway. Even a guy’s excuse of playing a girl so he can enjoy the butt he’s looking at all day is better than that, the rest is just being anal.
