New Ask Brad
Brad McQuaid post a new set of answers in the Developers forum. Here's a sample:
Ok. My important question for you is when the SoL expansion comes out will ANY of the faces that we can choose be smiling?!? I am a bard and I hate traveling the world looking like my dog just died! Please let there be joy across the land I beg you!

I don't know if they'll be smiling by default, but one of the cool features of the new character models is that we can animate the faces such that many /emotes will be visible and not just text. In other words, /smile should make your character visibly smile.
