Ok, i know this may sound stupid. But i realy liked and grew attached to my original character portrait.. i did create it when starting the game, sure it didnt have all these shiny new things like the latest portrait maker, but it was made the way i wanted, so why do i not get to keep it. You have emotinaly and mentally scarred me CCP there is no way i can just...replace.. my handsome scruffy hungover bum portrait, these new ones just wont do! And telling us we have to or wont even be able to log into the game soon wtf, scarred me even more. I actually cried when i seen he was gone

I did actually say this in one previous thread awhile back before the change, that they were taking a risk changing the looks, but a small risk where this game is concerned.
As it turned out it does seem to have been a small risk.
They won't and should not run two systems, so you just have to hope you'll be able to customise the character further in the near future. |

It's called progress.
If you want to stay in the past, then I suggest you dig out and dust off the Spectrum 48k you have in the loft and go back to playing DIZZY! |

Why?
Because its simply easier to code it this way, so that when Incarna is properly released it can be done with a one-way-for-everybody approach.
If they allowed you to keep the old portrait then they'd have to write and maintain 2 separate ways of doing everything in game that requires an avatar. That would cost a lot more money for virtually zero business advantage.
Are you suggesting that when Incarna comes out that most people should have nice realistic characters, and others should get to walk around looking like cartoons? That would also be very silly. |

previously i had saved the portraits of all my old characters for nostalgia... but now that i have seen all the gorgeous new portraits i realize how crappy and ugly the old ones were.
good riddance i say!
the old avatars are so bad in comparison they are embarrasing. |

Eve is not dead, Eve is changing (evolving) like all MMOs have to do.
It might be dead to you but it won't be dead to others.
Just seems like your one of those people that say this is not what I want, so I won't play. There's a simple answer to that. |

Why don't they give us the once only choice of wasting your time recreating your avatar / actually getting the creator to load and you can walk around in stations or keeping your old portrait but you can't ever walk in stations. Which 2d picture stored somewhere that pops up when you log on is surely not going to be a problem for the programmers? |

If that's what you really think then your really have got a problem. As well as a total lack of understanding.

Expand PvP? So you're one of those players that wants easy kills in high-sec to expand on your kill-mails and e-peen. |

People who whine about the portrait change, rather than just get it over and done with (and get back to the meat of the game) have some real cheek complaining that others aren't playing the 'real' EVE. Who's the one fussing over portraits now? The real EVE players are doing what they normally do and the Hello Kitty people are still fussing that they can't get the exact same picture they had before. Fuss if you want, cry if you want, quit if you want - but EVE is still here, and most of us are still playing it the way it was before.. now the moving of the "Dock" button is a completely different story of course.... |

TRUTH, I WILL , and another question... does anyone know if its possible to create something similar to the old one or is this new creation too good on graphics to even come close to being same? I have my old photo saved as my background now lmao to compare to |

Experiment with it to see, you don't have to save it. Just use the back button to get back out of it. What have you got to lose, You could always give yourself a beard or make yourself look older, or even younger if you had an old looking clone. Younger because it's a new replacement clone. |

I love seeing these threads. It was probably 5-6 years ago (not sure, exactly when) that I started suggesting that Eve have an FPS counterpart (Dust 514??) and being able to walk around in stations, before they ever really mentioned WiS or Dust, and what did people say? "GOD no, don't attract THAT crowd to Eve!!!" and "You're an idiot, that stuff is worthless, this is internet spaceships, DUH!"....
Now, I just get to laugh, and enjoy the direction the game is going |

Face can be modeled pretty damn close to old pic. The lack of tattoos and few options for hair is what breaks it, but apparently we will be able to change that stuff later. |
