I believe that a beergut slider needs to be implemented as welll as an acne slider and a neckbeard one too.

I've seen plenty of ugly avatars. Horrendous ones, in fact. If anything, the creator enforces unrealistic ugly standards.

Yesterday I made my 11th account (all paid for with cash, you're welcome CCP) and today started up the character creator to make another mining alt. I thought to myself "hey, I don't have any characters that look like me. That would be a cool thing to do", so I get to work sculpting an "Space-Avatar" that bears a resemblance to my person; almost immediately I find that this is downright impossible.

There are a few hairstyles depicting various stages of male-pattern baldness, but none with the spotty growth and combover that convey the same lack of confidence and grace in aging that I carry with me. I put the "scarring" slider up to 3, but found that it did not come anywhere near the level of acne scarring resulting from decades of junk food and regular sodas that is so endemic in the MMO population. Then, the most egregious violation: I put the "Muscularity" slider at 0% and the "Weight" slider at 100%, and found that this only turns my character from Roided-up Bodybuilder to Professional Swimmer; making a "Space-Character" with anything resembling my rubenesque-physique is downright impossible.

I wholeheartedly disagree that the char creator enforces unrealistic beauty standards. For one, I was able to rather accurately recreate my hideous face.

wow. you did really well imo. i tried to model my avatar after myself and all it ended up doing was making me was frustrated and semi-jealous rofl!

You have to start out beautiful then slowly let yourself go by drinking too much quafe and eating too much livestock, while not undocking to get exercise for months at a time.

This guy REALLY needs to get a life.

All of these "rah rah its the future so there is no more Fat or Ugly" posts are totally ignoring the fact that maybe some of us are comfortable in our own bodies, and don't subscribe to the arbitrary beauty standards fed to us by Mass Media like "only one chin" or "no foreign flora or fauna living between fat folds".

look at this from an in character perspective

YOU ARE AN IMMORTAL GOD AMONG MEN WHO HAS ACCESS TO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AT THE DROP OF A HAT TO SPEND ON ANYTHING AND FLY AROUND SPACESHIPS KILLING OTHER GOD PEOPLE OUT OF BOREDOM DOING DRUGS THAT WOULD MAKE NORMAL PEOPLE DIE AND LAUGHING ABOUT IT

i don't see why these people would look like the commoners on the planets when they can afford to fly spaceships larger than buildings and indiscriminately kill people at a whim

if you want to look ugly wait until the WoD MMO comes out and be a Nosferatu
