Have they said it? I haven't heard Blizzard talking about Medivh in ages!
Because they haven't :P
Would be nice to have all these bits clarified, specially now that he's a major character on this xpack.
He's not. Medivh doesn't show up on the expansion at all. Were you talking about Kadghar? if so, they never clarified anything, they just said (Paraphrased) "he is still old seriously, don't let the young face and young voice and young body tells you otherwise, he's a decrepit old coot"
Is he still under influence of Sargeras?
No, he was freed when he was killed, which is why he was able to set in motion the events of Warcraft 3, leading Thrall and the horde towards kalimdor, and trying to do the same for the alliance (before they stubbornly sent him away). Jaina was the only one who listened which is why her people were the only ones from the north who survived the purge.
He then convinced the night elves to work with the horde and jaina's forces on the battle for mount Hyjal. It would be hard to do all that if he was still under the influence of sargeras.

To touch on the points: Khadgar only looks old..in reality, he is mentally far younger then how his outer body looks; he was all of 20 in the Last Guardian, so now he would be in his late 50's early 60's. He's also never let how his body looks slow him down; he was right there in the Second War and the Draenor Expedition. As for the new model...it's a new model, simple as that really.
Medivh: The only good thing out of Cycle Hatred is the reveal that Aegwynn gave up 90% of her power to revive her son after he was killed and Sargeras was driven out. When she did so, she cleansed him completely of any lingering taint.

But that's the thing man, he doesn't even look old now. He looks exactly as he would have looked if he was never cursed in the first place. He was 20 during the first war, which means he'd be 50 today. And he looks and sounds like a 50 year old man. No, hell, he sounds way younger, even younger than varian, his voice is closer to how frikking Anduin sounds like.
He's supposed to be a 50 year old man, with a body that looks as if he was at least pushing 90. Complete with skinny complexion, beard, wrinkles, saggy eyes, warts and all. This kadghar looks like a slightly younger Tirion. Seriously, compare Tirion's new model side-by-side with Kadghar and Tirion looks far older, at least he HAS wrinkles.

And like I said at the end, it's a new model....though really, we don't know that the curse would continue to age him, IE his body would age per years. The description in the Last Guardian and Tides of Darkness/Beyond the Dark Portal doesn't really change that much. For all we know, he's been mode locked in that cursed form all this time. We just don't know enough...and in fact:
His portrait from Beyond the Dark Portal
...notice anything? His
artwork pic
. Now, the comic did have him a bit older looking, but since the arc where Khadgar shows up is part of the New Guardian story line well.....
Also, looking at the Shatt version of him
, doesn't look that much older then Tirion to be honest.

I know right? who in their right mind would shave off a glorious beard? People like Tirion and Uther would look 150% less badass without their beards. Every male figure in the game worth its salt has a beard. Thrall, Vol'jin, Muradin, Brann, Velen, even lor'themar has a small goatee.

Sorry, my mind was in overblown state that day... yes, I was mistaking Medivh with Khadgar and vice-versa.
I'll go to wowwiki and read better about both to fresh this out... =P

Or you could read the last guardian.
And you get to know
Moroes
along with Khadgar and Medivh.
Still sad that Moroes doesn't say Eyup or drop blinders in the game.

Now that they added voice-acting to the game, Kadghar not only doesn't looks old, he doesn't even
sounds
old either.
did you like that bit where he goes
nu-uh
with his finger in the cut scene? Not a proud moment for ol' Khadgar.

Not this crap again... they're unattractive to at least 50% of the population.

Yes, but it did provide a valuable sentiment to his age. White beard generally implies venerability, and even if his physique is more muscular and face the same as his new model, it would at least give some impression that his curse did more than provide the dressing for his character. It would make him look older, rather than younger than Varian or hell, perhaps Jaina's age. Unless...No. No! Not down that path.

ya but...... he's an old man, he's not
supposed
to look attractive. Would you like it if they had cast Justin Timberlake to play gandalf on lord of the rings? o_O
The archetypical Old Wizard character in fantasy stories is supposed to be that, an old wizard, not a model from a teen magazine.

I grimaced hard at that bit, and just kept thinking of this
What's next, put sparkles on him and cover his robe on sequins? If they dot that I'm honestly gonna cry.
In other news, I just headed to the Inn on my garrison after a long hard day on Draenor to have myself a drink. I spot over to the corner to see who's our guest for the day, and I spot none other than Lilian Voss, so I approach her in a friendly manner watching her sulk staring at a corner with her back turned on me.
I go "Yo' s'up lily-girl, are you still brooding?" and tap her gently on the shoulder. She turns to face me and
SWEET JESUS!!!!!!
Uhh I need a change of pants, brb.(##RESPBREAK##)520##DELIM##Rankkor##DELIM##

She got hurt pretty bad in Scholomance... so it may be a special model for her?

Nah, its just a weird bug that affects forsaken NPCs at random. It just scared the living crap out of me for several reasons.
The first is that the glitch usually only affects male NPCs, I've only seen 2 female forsaken affected by it, before lilian that is.
And the second reason is that the inn is so tiny on the inside, I had to keep my camera zoomed in all the way, when I spot her in the corner, her back is turned to me, when I right click her to get her quest, she turns to face me, and there I am, face-to-face with that ungodly mess of a face, I nearly jumped out of my chair.

And now, just because, a random recopilation of Draenor Images (All of them very much spoiler free)
Hmmm, you don't look like you Tirion
(What do you guys think, his model looks better? or worse?)
And THIS is why some Draenei chose to embrace the legion and rename themselves as Sargerei
(Very minor spoilers)
Hehehehehe, this is what I love about the beta, random glitches. Female draenei holding weapons on their armpits. Classic =D
Aww come on, seriously?
I kill Al'akir on the beta and he drops the frigging mount, but I bet if I kill him every week for the next 6 years on live he's not gonna. Because RNG just hates me this much.
Ohhh yisss, the alliance troops know who's the boss
(Minor Glitch, the "Call to Arms" ability summons a small squad of troops to help you out, as horde, it supposed to be usable only on Frostfire Ridge, and summon horde troops. As alliance, its supposed to be usable only on Shadowmoon Valley and summon alliance troops. But due to a glitch I was able to use it as horde on Shadowmoon and much to my surprise, it summoned alliance troops that followed my orders and fought for me :P)
I swear to god, the more I stare at Velen's beard, the more glorious it gets.
And by all that's holy, alliance players are very lucky to have Shadowmoon as their zone. SOOO PRETTY.
See what I mean?
Frostfire Ridge looks very generic in comparison. Its like Storm Peaks, but with all the cool titan stuff replaced by jagged rocks and lava. Hurray? =/
