I haven't seen anything about his so I'm assuming that it can't be done, but can you change the appearance of yout character, such as hair color/style/etc?

No....I wish you could though.

no, but people have been hoping for a hair stylist as such to change it up a little bit, however a crude form of plastic surgeon to change appearance would be very unrealistic, and besides you should make your character as you wanted it, not so you can just change it all the time... if you ever want to change the appearance of a character you should've spent more time deciding the appearance in the first place.

Well after a couple hundred hours I might change my mind? Sorry if my impression of what I wanted months ago might happen to evolve, some of us change over time....

Sorry to offend but I did try and search and I guess I didn't use hte proper criterai to pull up the information I was looking for.

And for the record I didn't do a "OMG wouldn't it be teh awsome if you could change tyhe way joo look?"

I asked a simple question of function, so thanks for the respectful and intelligent replies.....

when search is working properly you come up with several pages of threads on this.

considering some of the responses on prior threads i thought mine was non offensive.

as to the ability to change your character it will probably never happen as the account itself was meant to be tamper proof which means no changes.

even the offensive name change is not changing the core account but only some sort of extension so everybody sees the new name.

if you customize something on the banned name character the account holder still sees customized for *banned name* while everybody else sees the new non offensive name.

but the account is not changed

Confused as to why you would think this. There have been recent patches (Dragon Festival and Nightfall PvP event) where characters had accidently been switched on appearences. One gave certain characters different hair than they originally had, the other changed character's faces. From what I understand, Anet was able to go back in and fix those characters back.

This would seem to imply that appearence would be very possible to change, seeing as how it was unintentional, but then intentionally reveresed.

Not to mention as much as Gaile talks about wanting this feature, as well. You'd think that she'd stop talking about it if the devs told her it wasn't possible.

what would be interesting to find out is if the actual account was affected or just an interface glitch showing different hair.

as for Gaile you will notice in the chat logs that she says

i like the idea a lot
i will ask the devs about it
i think it is a nice idea
i know it is a popular request

notice that in all this time i have not seen a post or chat saying what the dev response is and if they are actually working on this or if i missed it what the importance on it is or any progress.

if someone has a linkie to update my info it would be appreceiated
