I'm glad that ANET listens to it's users. With the preview of the new character skins, I really hope that ANET creates a way for us to change our old characters skins to the new ones. I really love the new skins and don't want to have to spend alot of time deleting and creating new chars to get them, especially since I've already put alot of time getting skillls for my chars. I'm hoping if enough ppl support this, ANET will provide us with a way to change our appearances. What do you guys think? Anyone see a reason they shouldnt?

I doubt it will happen.
The only thing I can see changing is hair, maybe.
I mean, you can't change most things about you, now can you?

Also, with the addition of skills being avable at skill trainers if you unlocked them in PvE with another character, I think that it will be easier to "rebuild" a character again.

YES! PLEASE!!!!! PRETY PRETTY PLEAASEEE! I BEG OF YOU!!!!

/SO FREAKING SIGNED.

I need to change my hair... these new hair are soooooo BEAUTIFUL, makes me regret that I couldn't convert my old chars hair....

Yes, there must be about a hundred topics about this, but have we ever gotten any clue or even a hint as to what Anet is even thinking about this? I mean if they just came out and said no way that's gonna happen, at least we'd know that, but right now...

After all, this is being requested even more than replacing the trading channel, which is GW biggest drawback atm.

Diablo™ · Mar 25, 2006, 01:58 AM // 01:58

I agree, give us the good news or give us the bad news... just give us some clue as to what to expect.

Ggraphix · Mar 25, 2006, 01:59 AM // 01:59

well I'll sign the petition.

Erm, I think that would be a nice boon, and /signed and everything ...

*sticks neck out*

Isn't 90% of your characters "looks" associated with armor (which will obviously be available to old toons) ?

Disclaimer: before flame, please read first line of this post, twice, and then go ahead.

Diablo™ · Mar 25, 2006, 02:43 AM // 02:43

I think its because we associate with the "face" of our characters more than what they wear. Besides, its pretty often we come across another player wearing the same set of armor as ourselves, but not as often do we find someone with the same set of face and hair, color and all...

shadowfell · Mar 25, 2006, 02:48 AM // 02:48

I'd give up all of your first born children to have the option to change in the LEAST the hairstyle on my current characters.. I do like the necro pigtails the best! ^^

Hair I can understand ... I think i've been playing my Warrior way too much recently (Helmets, heh).

I blame Racthoh and his guides! Thanks alot for making me like my warrior again!

I'd love a skin pigment change ... ok, I thought it would be cool to have my necro be all pale and such, but I mean, I take her out and strip her and leave her AFK on the beaches in Kryta for hours on end, still no tan (or even a sunburn!) Is there a tanning-lotion NPC that i've missed?

LifeInfusion · Mar 25, 2006, 03:29 AM // 03:29

Not a new idea but something I definitely support.

Reversable changing = nice option

Single option convert = it sucks again later once you get tired of the new toy.

Variety is the spice of life = lets have the variety in ability to change at will on and off like showing or not showing a helm etc. please.

Relnor · Mar 25, 2006, 03:36 AM // 03:36

One idea I had was that there would be a small fee, just like changing your Guild Cape. You pay the fee and can re-create the look of your character.

/signed. I have had a problem with my rangers look for a while now, it would be nice to fix it.

Phoenix Arrows · Mar 25, 2006, 03:58 AM // 03:58

Hmm...does this include gender change? o.O

I'm disappointed with my Ranger's armor looks. It was my first character, so I didn't know how to armors looked. But the female armors look so much better...I WANT SCOUT'S ARMOR!!! ><". So, yea.

*prays for gender change*

TGZ: Will there be any option to change features on already made characters (such as hairstyle and color) or will it be locked in place like the original has it?

Jeff: That is also something we talk about frequently but we don’t have definitive plans for that yet. But if we were to introduce those kinds of features then it would be things like adding an NPC with a hairstylist or something so you can swap your hairstyle or color on the fly, so the answer is yes eventually, we just don’t have a specific timeframe on that yet.

I hate my Ele's hair >.< *looks at her avatar*

I also want to change my monk's look because Faction has better looking skin+hair styles for monks.

Mai · Mar 25, 2006, 06:09 AM // 06:09

/signed at least for the hair

If they let us change faces that's just an added plus to me. But I'd rather prefer Anet just telling us a straight answer with a yes or a no on this matter.
