Subject: Post-Creation Character Changes, Ever?
   Take a look at your character. A long hard look. We *all* have one thing about our character's physical appearance that we would like to change.

Whether this be giving you're female human an ugly peircing, or giving your troll pink hair because you thought it would be funny. Either way, you are now 60, and loathe that one little thing you overlooked.

All I am asking is whether or not the idea of post-creation character customization will *ever* come to fruition. I've seen enough posts about it to deem that there certainly is an outcry for it.

Some sugggestions:

- Have it cost money, like respeccing.
- Have a potion made by alchemists that permenantly changes your appearance.
- After doing *either* of these, or any way it is decided upon to change your characters appearance, the next time you log out, you will have the "Change Apperance" screen. Much like the "Change Name" screen if you have chosen an innappropriate name.

----------------------------

This is a very simple and achievable request, and I feel that doing this would gain you major ground with your fanbase. It has been done in other MMOs, so why not in the best one?

   Ideas and mechanics for further character customization are still on the table and are elements that we would like to include in the future.

However, one reason it hasn't shown up earlier is due to prioritization. If art and design resources are split between adding more playable content or adding purely aesthetic content, the choice usually leans heavily for playable content.

It is something we want to have more of in the game, but when push comes to shove(as it often does with patch content), such things tend to be bumped to a future patch.

Currently, our UI folks(which would likely head up this new system) are busy with work on Meeting Stones/LFG improvements and a fair number of functional upgrades for the default UI.

I'll let you know when a clearer word comes out on the subject.
No matter where you go, there you are
