I've been playing this game awhile now...about two years or more and I can honestly say that I enjoy it, for the most part.

But something has been bugging me so I'm just going to throw it out there.

Given that character customization is so pains-takingly detailed in this game, why is it that we are limited by age.

Its basically a game of 25 year olds running around. It's an okay archetype but I honestly think choosing the character height and general age appearance would make it all infinitely more interesting.

I for one would log on and sit outside arch just to see a pint sized veno fight a barb...

Maybe my imagination is running away...again but I'm just thinking, it seems highly possible, I wonder if the devs would consider it....

So what do you think?

    I admit I think it would be funny to see people kicking butt with a old grandma/grandpa or even a toddler looking character if character age was customizable. Especially seeing them use their weapons.

    Watching a toddler use a weapon twice his size. It would be like watching Yoda go to work or something. :p

    With all due respect... from the majority of people I have seen on this game, if you could customize age, PWI would be getting the Pedobear Seal of Approval within a week b:shocked

    I've always wondered why the height wasn't adjustable. Seems easy enough, since everything else is. b:puzzled

    Well, there is that advanced makeover scroll that, to the best of my knowledge, no one has seen yet. So maybe, just maybe...

    There are ways to make your char look a little old, especially the male chars. Just add some long beard and color all grey ^_^.
    Feel free to PM me for help.

    Advanced is the same as the normal. You can just modify more then with the normal. Still not as much as in the char creation screen.

    The devs would consider it...

    For about 3 seconds before they realize it wouldn't generate any significantly extra revenue and summarily dismiss the idea as being hair-brained.

    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    I dunno...this new, expensive, boutique-only modification scroll could make them rather more than you think (ie. they don't put these extra options in the initial character creation screen).

    I'm not sure, but these seem to be on spot. At least the younger players.

    Size/height modification - yes, gimme!
    Age modification - not exactly what I'd like to see, and rather harder to do, so better forget it for your own good
