Im all for a way to change your race.
Im just not happy with my avatar as it is now and i have no way to redo my race.( I want to be a gal race. )
SO i would be willing to pay UP TO but no more than 30 USD to get to redo my race, and rebuild my avatar.
The only thing it should allow is a full rebuilding of your avatar Model from race selection.
BUT in no way should we be allowed to change are names to get away from are actions.

what? old why dont we have it any more? Because you can now change it anyway from stations. It didn't allow you to change race or bloodline though, you could only swap avatar with a character matching yours. |

Why not?
I think this is a pretty decent idea.
And while we are on the subject of what we'd pay for, I'd pay to have better clothing selections. If you're going to give me a dress up barbie to play with, give me pretty clothes to go along with it. Everything currently is drab, dull, and boring. What happened to color? Who designed the clothes? They are just kind of...blah, for the most part. http://amarrian.blogspot.com/ -á~ Roleplay blog.http://sovereigntywars.wordpress.com/ ~ Faction War blog. |

I can stand behind this cause. I've actually wanted a race change for quite some time.
Yeah, my reason is for roleplay. I created Aidan as an Amarr because of the fact that Amarrian ships are actually symmetrical. No, I'm not joking.
On top of aesthetics we had actual game play altering choices to make during character creation that, at the time, affected how your character started, and grew in New Eden. Yes, I'm talking about the days when our attributes were dictated upon character creation... by our Race, Bloodline and Ancestry.
As a new player, I had to put the roleplay and backstory of the character I wanted to play on the back burner to ensure that I had an advantage in the career choice I thought I wanted to be in at the time. So, I built him the way I did.
Now, I'll say this.. I disagree with the Amarr mantra and basically everything the Amarr Empire stands for as a whole, so roleplaying an Amarr just doesn't suit me very well. I'd honestly much rather be Gallente, despite the fact that I don't fly their ships.
Does it bother me to play an Amarr? No, not really.
Do I want to be an Amarr? No, not really.
Would I pay to change my race? Yes, I would.
Also, since your race and bloodline no longer affects your attributes the old argument of "it changes the gameplay" is now defunct. The only valid argument I see against it is that you're altering the characters identity. Which in my opinion is a moot point anyways because those who want to; want to change it because they would prefer a different background or appearance.

no name change, no standings reset,
perhaps the rp's would like the chance of changing race to serpitis or sansha? maybe even gurista...
but some super evil penalty like not able to enter .5 and above systems? |

The idea is in theory a good one, but would completely **** up continuity. "War is not measured in terms of who wins or loses, who is right or wrong.-á It is measured in terms of who survives." |

It completely destroys immersion. And while you may laugh at this since eve seems to be all PLEX for ISK and all that now. . . but it should still matter somehow. |

CCP have said in the past that they might introduce 'multiple clones' as in ones of different races/genders for you to jump into.
I can't find the link just now, but it could happen. |

I love how its the 'roleplayers' who seem to want to flip-flop their character creation decisions.
You are supposed to create a character and roleplay it.... not change your mind every month, because you want a hood or another race has cooler stations or whatever!

Part of the concept of immersion is to create a character and immerse yourself into the world with it. Thus being stuck with the consequences of actions you take or decisions you make. The ability to change race because you suddenly changed your mind for the flavor of the week (cooler looking stations, hoods, etc) should be limited. However, say you chose to be a Caldari pilot, but frequently work in Amarr, the option to wear the local dress (robes, hoods, etc) should be available to pilots. I mean, you can train to fly ships from other races, so I don't see why it would hurt to be able to wear clothing from another race. But the concept of changing race is one that would screw up continuity. The point here is that you made a decision, you're stuck with it. If you want a character of another race, make an alt. "War is not measured in terms of who wins or loses, who is right or wrong.-á It is measured in terms of who survives." |

While I feel that the roleplayers do need to simply roleplay within the constraints of the game (for example, the Amarr that wants to be a Gallente should roleplay an Amarr who wants to be a Gallenete, rather than just switching to Gallenete), I think the idea of swapping clones/features/etc. is a good one. Someone in this thread mentioned that they'd like to see this be a player produced service. I think that's a great way to handle it.
Make "Genetic Blueprints" a craftable commodity in-game. So, someone with the skills and resources can, say, create "Gallentean Male Genetic Blueprints".
The skills to make the blueprints may require Biology 5, plus a handful of supporting skills, like 'Gallentean Genetic Research', 'Amarrian Genetic Research', etc. etc.
Perhaps the blueprints to make them can be created via using planetary commodities, like Data Chips, Biomass, Proteins, Water, Test Cultures, Viral Agents, Nanites, and Biotech Research Reports.
So, the Amarr guy who wants to be a Gallente simply needs to purchase a Gallenetean Male Genetic BP off the market, plug it into a station service (perhaps at a station where he has significant standings), and redesign his clone. |
