(READ BEFORE POSTING)
i want to propose an idea for Incarna when it comes out, and i figured id throw this idea out there now while its still in the development stages.
First off, Im a guy IRL and my character is a Gallente Female. i made this cause i didnt even care and thought it didnt matter as it was just a sorta passport photo, and i also didnt know about this incarna feature untill months after i started playing. But having read up on it, i absolutly DO NOT want to be wandering around a station in a female avatar. that is just completly wrong in so many ways. it would completly ruin the whole experience and i would not be able to immerse myself into it as i am not a woman. It would completly cut off my ability to immerse myself into the game. And CCP you said you wanted to create the "Ultimate Sci-Fi Simulator." Well i want to be able to create an avatar that looks as much like i do in real life as possible. And a gallente female is NOT it.
I did research on google before posting this and found many other forums with the same idea, (All of which are "Over 90days Old and have been Closed")
Most of them wanting to change their race and bloodline for role-playing purposes or whatever. But the most important part was all of them were willing to pay for it. And seeing as their are no stat differences or different gameplay mechanics whatsoever between different races, this should be another added Account Service. It would work like this
Account Service: Character Race/Bloodline/Gender change
$15-$25, One time change
Change Character's Race/Bloodline/Gender upon next login
Sure that would take some coding and other technical work. but charging 25 dollars would more than cover that cost. and as was said in another post. "More money to CCP = Better products from CCP."
I dont know exactly how it would be done if CCP actually decided to do this, but i just wanted to throw the idea out there once more. Also it would only be a cosmetic change. not stats or anything. Main thing is, i dont want walk around a station as a woman and be one of those nerds that walks around in a half-naked female avatar.
Anyways i screwed up in the character creation process and have been regretting it since i heard about this incarna feature. And skills take FAR too long to just start another character. And i know im not the only one.
And as for not being able to justify implementing this in-game cause of reasonable roll-playing aspects like was said in a previous post, CCP after making the entire universe of EvE and all its coolness, there is no way you can BS me into saying you dont have the creativity to come up with something that works.
And one last thing, I Do Not support the idea of name changes, your name is your reputation, and that is the one thing you absolutely MUST stick with. We cant have people completely stealing everything from their corp, running off, getting a name change, and then joining the same corp to do it all over again. |

1) Make new character on your account for free
2) Use said character to RP and run around stations all willy nilly
3) ???????????
4) Profit

Skyee you know that just completly defeats the purpose...
Even if you dont care for this, it will be a payable feature. So those who actually give a s*** about something like this can have the option to pay CCP for it.
"More money to CCP = Better products from CCP"
Check this out, Blizzard Entertainment released an account option for their game World Of Warcraft which allowed players to buy a virtual flying horse for $25. Blizzard made over 1.4 Million dollars on that horse the VERY FIRST DAY it became available. Now i guess you could relate that to CCP selling in-game ships online for real money, which CCP will never do and should Never do. but its the same concept. I know a fair amount of people who are unhappy with their characters.
So why not let those few pay to make the game better for all of us?

I support the ability to change your gender (for the reasons outlined by the OP) when we redesign the avatars for the Incarna release. Race, no. Bloodline, no. Those are tied to player attributes and should not be able to be changed.
This signature is useless, but it is red.

This is for cosmetic purposes only, no stat changes seeing as your race and bloodline don't offer any difference in stats anymore
Also i've heard that you will one day be able to jump clone yourself into a Jovian. So maybe this is how it will be done. Like buy an in-game item like a Jovian Clone or Minmatar Clone, kinda like you buy a PLEX. I think it should be a payable feature tho, so those who don't care about this feature will also profit from it in the long run. More Money For More Development |

Meh, or just eliminate the need for gender and go with a Euro-trash/Anime fusion and make everyone's avatar indeterminately androgynous.

I support gender change only, you keep your race/bloodline. You made your choice when creating your character, that you now want it to be 'you' isn't anyone's fault/problem other than yours.
I don't support changing ace/bloodline, if you can't deal with the male/female options just sell the character, biomass it, or make an alt to be 'you'.

Ok Bhattran, First off, there is no reason for giant text like that, thats the same as typing in all caps.

This was written before your post on this Proposal, it was at the very bottom of it. THIS is what i was referring to. So after your reply i decided to edit the whole thing and make it more clear, as in edit some of the main paragraph, and add the same comment above at the top and the bottom. also the title of the proposal says Gender Change.
Finnaly, Bhattran i am Not looking for an online argument, they are completly pointless and no good ever comes from any of them. I am only showing you why i said what i said. Now with that behind us, and the overall point of this proposal clear, please Support Or Don't Support. |

Like the OP, I'm a guy, but I deliberately pick a female avatar in EVERY GAME I OWN/PLAY because I don't want to stair at a guys rump for the hours I play the game.
I for one am happy that Incarna will have full body avatar as I will get to see my sexy body all the time.
However! I support this idea because I have a male character that I have trained up a lot for marketing activity. Since Incarna will be WIS, this very activity is something I would like to do while gorking at a female form sitting on a couch or walking around and watching my avatars smooth latex covered butt shine!
So I would gladly pay for an avatar make over :)

Not directly interested in a gender change myself, but don't see any reason not to support this.
The more options we have to modify our characters when Incarna hits the fan, the better.

I support the ability to change a characters gender. My reasoning is that there are many body alterations available in the EVE universe. As shown in The Burning Life.
I support more role play based on facts given to us by CCP.

I would like to see FTM and MTF options, also I want hermaphrodites.
When you are at it, I want marriage not only between male and famele, but also between male and male, and humans and drones.
Dronesex is not a sin!
I am serious.
