Change Background after created?

Will we get the option to change our Background after creation even if costs Zen/Diamonds? One thing I really dislike about GW2 is once you make a choice of your background(even if it doesn't effect your character) you cannot be changed. For Neverwinter Online if someone chooses Selune and decides later the armor they gathered and their playstyle is more for someone of Tempus can they pay to edit that background?

This would be amazing if more deities are added to the list and your max level.

    I haven't seen many online games offer something like this, but then again I haven't seen many MMORPGS with a "flavor" option in the creation.

    So that being said I support this!

    LOTRO had your character is from. Like Rivendell for Elves.

    Are you talking about changing Deities and/or origin or your background/description?

    Yes. Being able to change what you chose at the end of the Character Creation process.

    You will be able to chance the background flavour text but I doubt you can change place of origin or God/Goddess worshipped though.

    I am aware you can't. Im expressing my feelings that the option should be in the game. Even it cost to do so.

    I'm neutral on this. I think changing your text is enough to be honest. I can't change the fact I was born in Alabama and raised by my mother, so I don't really expect to do so on my character after creation. That being said, I am all for more options!

    Cheers!

    Don't the gods of Forgotten Realms get really vindictive and angry when you switch your worship to a different deity?

    And, given the nature of the game, is ANYONE going to feel like their worshiper of Sune or Selune isn't better suited to Tempus or Helm? Honestly, if your background flavor text is so important to you; it's the type of thing that you should be able to get right the first time.

    I think background and religion should be more than just flavor, but seeing as it isn't, if PW wants to make some $$$ from letting people change it, I don't have a problem with it. I sure don't want them wasting a lot of time implementing it though.

    I could care less if they add in the background changes, but the worship changes would be something I'd love to see, especially if other gods are added.

    They could in the future allow more options to be available. If this is so then they should allow us to adapt to the changes. The current Deity List is only showing the Greater Gods. Also there is only like 20 locations(just random number).

    Lets say 2yrs from now they have up to 50 locations to choose for background. Something becomes available that you really wanted like the city of Tajar. You have a Human Rogue and you always wanted Tajar. Your rogue is From Amn. You didn't like it but it was the only other option you could live with. Now that Tajar is available you want to change it.

    If new gods are added I think it's only more than fair to give the players a choice to re-pick the god they want to worship.

    Exactly. We are willing to adapt to new MMO woes but give us the option to grow with the game.

    Ah, good point. Hadn't considered that. I'm in favor of both changes to deity choice and background then. I don't think it would be out of the question to charge for it in the zen shop or something. I'd pay for it, and I'm stingy when it comes to spending money on myself. Probably only buy that and more character slots.

    It seems like an ideal cash shop item to me. The only holdup would be if they have some mechanics based on it that we're not aware of, either planned or already being implemented; that could delay it. Otherwise, it seems a straightforward Zen item.

    Thats how I feel. I know RPers out there would appreciate.

    Trying to get my ducks in a row. It looks like Mentoring is on the way. Also with Tymora being added its safe to assume more deities will make the list in due time. With that still no word if changing Background will be available.

    Agree completely. Consider the classic Good Guy Turned Bad or Bad guy turned good throughout Fantasy literature. The Fallen Paladin for instance. This should be a ready part of the game, and should be available either through actions (Alignment change) or through spending Zen or Astral Diamond's.

    Other things that should be changeable, are hair color/styles, beard/no beard, etc... Purely cosmetic I know, but a viable change to any characters toon.

    1.) I love this idea. A character literally changing overtime. If you were a Human Paladin of Amaunator fallen into despair over the lose of your friends/family and taken up Shar - Lady of Loss. Taken in by the Shade Enclave and gone through the rites of transformation. Pay for a Race Change to Shade and a Background: Deity Change to Shar.

    2.) There is Appearence Change tokens in the game. 200 ZEN.

    Exactly! It just makes sense. ^^
