I don't personally care so much about changing my characters' faces, but I know that since the lip-syncing update a while back a lot of the facial textures got screwed up. My ranger's face changed significantly, although not to the point that I disliked it. I have friends who would love to be able to change their faces because of the screw up, or just because better faces have become available since the initial Prophecies release.

I would rather see a hair-changing option before a face-changing one (anything but Tyrian monk hairstyles Dx ). But both would be very nice.

Facial Chang-*record skip!* Wait... No. Except for the eyes, but no. You want this to be like D&D, or WoW? Altering your face in GW is like a medieval knight getting plastic surgery. THEY DON'T GO TOGETHER. Even if facial altering magic is an excuse that's still bending the reality of the game. Forget it. End of that discussion.

The first bit quoted here gives us some insight into what's wrong with your 2nd bit:

Going from gray to white, and getting longer...your character's getting older. As we age, don't we change our shape, sometimes more than a little? And this holds for our faces too. I've gone through spells where I've lost weight, and the fat in the cheeks disappears a little; the face looks a little longer, less round. And then the holidays come 'round and I pork out and the cheeks fill up. The nose, incidentally, never stops growing as you age.

Facial hair on men changes over time.

Heck, our character are running around getting shot at, hacked, burned, frozen, abraded by sandstorms, killed, raised from the dead, thumped by hammers and fists, crippled, dazed, blinded. Wouldn't that alter your face? I'm still the same good-looking ranger, necro, rit....despite the thousands of hours of battle.

It would be nice, sure. Gender and name changes as well. A few of my characters I've realized I prefer their female counterparts.

Won't happen, but /signed anyways.
