Maybe not world record short, but definitely in the running for a casting call as an Ewok.
And I don't think I can.
Made me think. Isn't that a bit wrong? Shouldn't there be some kind of option for people wanting to recreate their real life physical appearance in game?
I've been trying to get my mother into EVE as she is a bit of a game nut and I think the slow drone of mining lasers would be just the thing for her.
As a surprise I was going to create a character that looked like her. Now that's OK, but she's very short. Just around four feet. I think it would bean insult to make a tall character give the pride she has in getting by in a tall world as a little person.
So why are CCP discriminating against little people like this?
This world is sad, this world is really bad and we should join our forces to sue every government on the milky way !
Why do they do everything around median numbers? -c'mon !!
Clothes, tables, leathers, chairs, why a cm does a cm and an inch an inch??
Why you need stairs to get into your car and I always hit the roof of it with my head?
I'm tired of all this !!

If you do roids, you can wear them as gloves and have 4 arms. Almost like an octopus. Went ahead and fixed that for ya (dont want my dolls being stereotyped) those were my thoughts exactly minus the roids ofcourse dont want my balls shrinking any more.

Pretty sure this is a technical issue, you have to redo animation and clothing for different sized characters. Did you want incarna to take another 4 years ? +welcome to my world+ http://venomzer0.deviantart.com |

Be damned if I'm going to sling her free ISK without her learning the value of money (sound familiar Mother?) and being blown up in five minutes.
Dunno, she's good at finding bargains, maybe trading would be more her go.
One thing for sure though, she isn't a seven foot tall stick figure and wouldn't want to be.
Is it that much to as to be a chubby, four foot player? EVE shall be purged by fire - please Gods let them ALL burn in Jita. |

Hi im Chris Hansen from dateline NBC why don't you have a seat. You say little people but why would you need a 6 pack of Smirnoff Ice and a pack of jimmy caps if all you were looking for was a little equality. The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.
One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear. |

I'll ask my mother if she would like to be a six foot tall, impossibly thin Avatar and see how that flies.
I hope the universe is ready for her special brand of conversation. "Oh hello, how are you? Say, that's a nice Vexor have you had it long? How much did you pay for it? Ooo I hope it's insured, you never can be too sure in this day and age. Don't forget to update your clone now. Old Mavis McShoe's son forgot to update his clone and where is he now? Retraining Industrial V, that's where he is. And don't forget to EVE Mail your sister for her birthday..."
And so on and so forth. EVE shall be purged by fire - please Gods let them ALL burn in Jita. |

Hah. Sony are in big trouble financially. I think this is their 6th quarter of losses in a row. I doubt they could afford this forum. CCP had better hurry up and release Dust while Sony can still afford to make Playstations... |

EVE takes place 40,000 years or so in the future. Considering we went through an extremely long dark age or technology reset when the EVE gate collapsed there would be much malnutrition and shorter average heights. When these are remedied I'd assume each generation would continue to grow taller than the previous much like today.
I'd assume that the average height of someone in New Eden would be anywhere from 6 to 6.5 feet.
Of course there are many factors. People who grew up on planets with less gravity would be taller than those that grew up on planets with more gravity even if there is a slight difference. So I really don't know however I can safely assume that the average height would be what we consider tall. |

Mostly because it complicates animation, especially for interactions with the environment or other players. Also displacements for muscularity, weight, etc generally don't look very good when you just squash them a bit and call it a day. In short, more authoring work.
This was a great question at Fanfest last year during the Avatar technology session, so if you dig that video up on YouTube, be sure to check out the closing QA session. |

You remind me of a woman I once knew. Not YOU being like her, but she was very short - and for an adult around 30, I'd say way short . She was skinny too, and being so small, had a childish voice. So at age 30 she looked like she was 12.
Needless to say, she was a creep magnet.
I think the character creator should be conservative about extremes on the one hand, but then on the other, perhaps it should go "all out" into the freak zone? Dwarf short or elf tall, he-shes, super fat, rail thin, or just plain Andre The Giant huge.
It would make WiS interesting, but then we will have to deal with the hordes of 12 year olds rolling super freaks and running around the stations in underwear, and that's what Ironforge and Stormwind are for.

You'd be surprised how critical that is to get a person's animation right for that sort of thing. Where it may work for a shorter person a tall person would start clipping though objects and we simply can't have that.

Why you think CCP tested out plex for gfx cards?
So people can afford to run WiS... 80 bill will get you a cool 4way SLI, then you can use WiS with 8 other people! Also likely just the people who had 80 bill around. |
