TERA's apparently profitable because of swimwear.
From massively;
Kim says his studio didnt expect the Elin race to be popular, that it was a filler race and a female version of the Popori. By the time the Japanese market requested swimsuits for the Elin, the American market had eclipsed it, but the profit [Bluehole] made from this costume alone exceeded all the profit [Bluehole] made from all the swimming costumes for all races in Korea. [ ] They say school swimming suits, bloomers, and maid outfits are the 3 wonders in Japan. Maid costume was especially a big hit. In fact, the Elin costumes made the free-to-play transition financially feasible. Kim also notes that TERA has performed best in North America.

So, how about letting us wear swimsuits (or at least mix n' match tops and bottoms) for 100 zen?

but then males will be too busy oogling female toons and trying to abuse them! We can't let the women dress up in binkis! What is this? TRIBBLE Trek Online???? No! IT'S STAR TREK ONLINE! where I can go explore strange new worlds and teach alien women how to love
WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN????????!?!!?!?
*gasps* PERVERT!!!!
That's a fine lady, you sicko!
That does sound like a moneymaker, especially when they add headbands for cat ears and add the tail unlock.
Completed Starbase, Embassy, Mine, Spire and No Win Scenario
Nothing to do anymore.

This sounds like a most delightful idea
but don't we already have kitties walking around ingame?
don't you forget the shuttlebay you naughty boy, you
no, this is star trek online, not star TRIBBLE online.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
I dearly hope they never do this. This is a game based on one of the best Sci-Fi franchises on our tiny worthless planet, not a game to help satisfy your Sexual fantasies.
Speak for yourself, you leather-clad stud you...

If I was in charge, they would've been either made freely usable and sold for real money or not made at all.
No, no -- a Vulcan in a maid outfit, wearing a cat ears headband. Or a playboy bunny outfit complete with bunny ears and fuzzy tail. In whichever gender you prefer.
Yep, this could be monetized.
and don't forget, leather outfits for people like mirrorchaos
I do believe this has already happened, on Drozsna.
shhh, that place shall not be mentioned except in bathrooms of curious new teenagers whispering in awe of the forbidden place where if you go, your soul shall be lost forever, but man what a ride!
yes i know...
im also aware of the orions, but with the orions though, thats apart of established canon, i can not argue that, but in general i made this point before, federation captains should not be wearing swim wear on the bridge of their own ships, a federation captain is always professional and always has an image to maintain on behalf of starfleet and the federation as a whole and then there is the whole distraction of being barely contained and this would head into sexist country.. not going to get into that. romulan captains have never been shown to be in anything other than their military or official gear when on the job, no matter what.

Yeah, cause this game would feel so much more like Star Trek if we could have people fighting the borg in bikini or see people in swim wear get their promotion from admiral Quinn.
I understand that people who want stuff should be able to get it if it doesn't harm anyone else... but at the same time, you shouldn't pretend there wasn't a very good reason to restrict these kind of uniforms to Risa.
I wanna take Taco Fangs to my quarters then... [REDACTED] slide my hands down to his... [REDACTED] then... [REDACTED] him until he [REDACTED] and then I'll... [REDACTED]
his [REDACTED] then [REDACTED] onto his... [REDACTED] and pound his... [REDACTED].
Too much?
You were one [Redacted] short from being considered TRIBBLE
To hell with kitties, I WANT PORTHOS!!!!

UHm i think JJ Abrams beat you to that assumption
Can you blame me for wanting to... [REDACTED] him in his tight... [REDACTED]? [REDACTED] onto... [REDACTED] and then... [REDACTED] in his... [REDACTED] but I'll have to watch the fangs , I don't want to get a [REDACTED] Infection.
**faints**
I stand corrected you have now crossed the line into TRIBBLE and not just any TRIBBLE but a taco related TRIBBLE.
Its official we will now call it
TRIBBLE Trek Online
So no fanservice is actually against the one true way of star trek. :P
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
And Orions of course can wear bikinis, but you can't talk to Quinn if you're one.
There was no good reason to restrict the ones sold on Risa. There might have been a good reason not to make them, if not for the fact that any random Orion could wear something just as revealing already (and for the record, I don't agree with species-restricting those outfits, either), but there was never a good reason to restrict them.
I think its cause im just an old school trekkie is why i never got into the JJverse ,anyways its a new trek for a new generation enjoy
I can understand where you are coming from, and I do tend to agree with you. I always like to have my Fed toons in a proper uniform. It is balancing act for Cryptic to make money while still honoring canon (as much as possible, don't read to much into this ppl, I wish not to derail the thread).
So far restricting the swimwear to Risa has been good, I for one would pass on putting school uniforms on my female alts.
