Many people initially chose their race and bloodline based on appearance. Up to this point appearances are very stereotypical and effectively very limited (relative to the new system coming out). Appearance being an important identification mark, forced some players to chose races that did not necessarily suit them ideologically.
Additionally, many players, from way back, were forced to pick certain racial/bloodline backgrounds in order to acquire specific attributes. They may not necessarily have liked the appearance or the racial ideology but needed specific attributes to achieve an optimum gaming experience
Now with the new system players are able to create very unique and remarkable avatars without needing to pick a certain race to acquire certain physical characteristics. I would like to see existing players given the option of changing their race, not sex. If race is not possible, then perhaps bloodline, and if bloodline isn't possible, then perhaps ancestry.
I don't think that sex should be changed as that is a rather large change in my view.
Now many will argue that both their appearance and the racial ideology fits them well, but do realize that for some it doesn't.
Allowing existing players this opportunity will in no one affect game play, as stats are no longer based on race/bloodlines and ones background does not affect game play.
New players entering the game will not be forced to make the decision between desirable physical characteristics, desirable attributes and racial ideology, they will be able to select from a much larger pool then any older players could. I would simply like older players to be given the same opportunities as brand new players.
In conclusion I would simply like to stress that implementing this will not break or change the game in any way, other than providing a mental boost to those that would like to change and be on equal footing with newer players.

I'm thinking CCP will do something (it's in the stars as you say). I have always wanted to refine my old characters, and I am sure a lot of people do to, hence why I took a bit of time to throw this up.

Edited by: Professor Tarantula on 03/01/2011 06:11:38 I hope they also use the occassion to wipe all characters who've been inactive for years. It's getting pretty cramped when choosing new names.

I hope so.. even if I stay gallente I might be able to look more like I do now..instead of basically korean.
I want more of the middle easter or Sisiclian look.
(I wouldn't mind looking like sean connery in raider of the lost arc either.. nice long eyebrows.. swathier skin but that wouldn't be exactly what i look like now..but it would be better , not worse)
Seriously.. other than some token dread-loks giving maybe an affrican touch there are very few darker skinned character options ...even the darkest minmataur are far lighter than the average guy from india, let alone a siekh or something..
I know this isn't supposed to be earth but certainly most of the races that are included do draw upon earth.. why not include the missing ones that we can indentify with .. or at least not move farther away from that than the choices we had before... I like the way i look now.. I don't want to be paler or skinnier or younger or look like im from a different part of earth by comparison.
Tehey have plenty of time to sort it out ... no rush at all ..hopefully...I know it is still in beta and this sort of feedback will help the final product.

Edited by: Svarg Orlyviir on 03/01/2011 08:11:42 I'm also want CCP to allow old players to change at least bloodlines. Then I created my character his look was the main point of choosing his race and bloodline. But after I saw new caldar-civire look, I don't like it anymore. Their new look is too brick-faced. All the faces I managed to create looked too old (maybe because of deep laps of skin on sides of mouth/nose) or they looked like Nicolay Valuev (google that name if you don't know his face / eyebrows are too heavy and nothing can be done about this ). But new caldari-deteis looks more appealing to me now... Changes in looks of races/bloodlines are deeper then it may look on first sight... So i think that giving opportunity for old players to change bloodline will be a good idea. Changing state (race) or sex would be too much IMHO...

No one should be allowed to magically change race or bloodline but we should be allowed to opt out of this insulting 'addition' to our internet spaceships game.

This is my biggest problem.
I'm happy with my characters face, far more than happy. I spent a good deal of time getting the shadows to look right.

Well technically you do, if I remember correctly you have a grace period to remake your picture, and after that you just get the silhouette pic with the exclamation point for a face. You don't have to get a new portrait.

This was originally asked for about a year ago and at the time CCP said they would look into it. Since then we have had the dev blog were they specifically stated that they do not plan to allow this. Macrointel, the place were the nature order of the universe does not hold sway. Pirates and ore thief's are congratulated by carebears for the actions. |

Yeah and in the future they should be able to pull of some masterful traps. Can you resist surgical skill of that magnitude?

I don't think this would be very good.
I did too choose based on looks, and some research on bloodlines and stats, but after a while I kinda liked the "Caldari Way" of being. In the end I think I made a real cool looking character with a nice background.
I do hope I can reproduce its position on the picture, I'm having a very difficult time doing so and achieving the same menacing/don'tcareaboutmysubordinates look I gave it =x
