Character Creation '****' - Your views on it?

This is the thread you want, and if you don't want your opinion censored I'd suggest not discussing bans. PWI will literally censor anything!

Well, I have seen many people using this '****' to change their hair and eyes - and personally, I dont see the problem with it. I get that GM's dont want to say "Yes you can do it - but only for hair + eyes" because allowing it at all would encourage people to do more drastic things (like the stick thin avi's that look like skeletons etc).

But honestly, whats the harm in it? I dont see why GM's dont just add the hair + eyes from earthguards and tideborns to the character creation screen - or they could even make a profit from it by making it so other classes can only get it via a makeover scroll....

What are your views on banning people for this '****'? o.o

Hmm... To tell the truth, I'd be glad if we were blessed with updated models for classes other than Earthguards in terms of eyes (I guess some types of hairs were specifically designed for the Tideborn). The inverse would be true too, as for more customization options for EG and TB.

You've stated the core of the problem. If people were allowed to change some features, it could be interpreted as 'okay, you are free to do anything you like' by dummies. Hence justified bans.

The rules are strict and well-defined enough. 'Play with fire and you'll burn yourself' fits here. That is why I am not doing it, even if it does not change anything in terms of gameplay.

As for those who get banned for it, well, they just went over rules. It's a bit harsh, but there is nothing much I can say about it.

You could draw this case to two others:

- Multiclienting rules have been changed, with factors that can help people but others that are limiting per se;

- Censoring has been greater. I guess it is a bit brutal, but it sure shows that the community went too far at one point.

More to come if you ask for it. Take care!

I think the lack of bans for things such as eyes + hair shows a certain amount of something pwe seem to be lacking in many areas. Common Sense. i solute the GMs for this XD

I seen alot of people doing this type stuff..i think it would stop if people were paid some hefty gold to report them mewhahahaah

It's not like its game breaking, Hell it makes some of the characters look cooler. More original.

Great, not only you do a super necro on this thread* but your subject is totally unrelated to the topic too. b:scorn

Send a ticket to support... but given your problem has happened a long time ago and that you surely have no proofs of the phenomenon (and who did this), chances are much unlikely that you will get a good solution to your issue. b:surrender




*By the way, I am glad the partial .ini editing has been accepted, thanks to V4, the GMs and all of the people who helped make that change happen. Hooray!! Huzzah!!
