can you edit your characters appearance (face, skin color, hair, hair color) after you've already created him?

if you can't, you should.

I assume they made it so...ya know...you know what you want to look like :P. Why would you pick something you didn't like? lol.

No plastic surgeons yet, you can hope though!

Well, I agree that you should be able to change your character's appearance after creation, but Tropan does kind of have a point with carefully deciding what you want to look like beforehand. I still think think that you should be able to change your appearance though. Sometimes your hair doesn't match your outfit or your cape, or you want to differentiate yourself from a clone, or you just realized that a different hair/face/skin style would have looked nicer. After all, you only look at your character for minutes during creation and for hundreds of hours after creation.

A stylist NPC fee could be implemented costing anywhere up to 15 platinum would be reasonable and prevent people from constantly switching their appearances. It would also be a good money sink.

no i totally understand tropan's pov. but when you create your first character, you have no idea of what the game will be like, and after you've played with that character to lvl 8 and you realize that you totally made the wrong choice for your character's look, you def. don't want to start over just because of that.

anyways, just wish there was an option like, /editface 3 or something like that. magus had a good idea for a plastic surgeon, tho it would suck and def. decrease my want for a face change.

but there could be at least a hair change or you could use dyes on your hair.

on a related note, can you change your name afterwards? (and yes, I am hoping for dyes on hair, a boutique of sorts maybe...)
