Character custiomiation

[Saske]

Hi, i wasnt really shore about where to post this so i just did it here.
anyway.
at the moment, im trying to persuade all my friends to start on planeshift and so im inviting them all to my hosu and showing it to them.
when i let them create a character they all seem to be disapointed about the fact that certain characters canot be edited yet (Kran and sutch)
our plan was to have one person of each race as we have just the right amount of people but now certain people have started fighting over the other peoples and in some cases even giving up on teh idea because they dont want to look the same as everyone else on the game of that race.
if it is at all possible, in one of the later coming updates would you be able to add a bit more to some of the character editing? just like changing the colour of skin on kran or something small like that.
if you can thankyou very mutch, but i understand that you have more important things to do. but it really would make the game just that mutch better.
in either case, thanx anyway ^_^

More character customization is definitely planned :] For example the Enkidukai started with one skin, but now they have three, and more are coming. Our artists are busy working on all sorts of tasks at the moment, so while you may not see every character model with several appearance options in the next release, there will definitely be plenty to play around with in the future.

hmm true but think Saske has a point that that part might be a good place to focus first if possible becuase it is the first thing people see and ofcourse something everyone will notice the difference of just like with the more possible enki furs

The enki have three skins? *gasp* And good old lemurs are yet to experience the joy of having a skin? 

That's being racially bias...I think that's how it's said

I introduced a girl I know to Planeshift.  She was used to games like pristontale and fly for fun.  She thought the music was beautiful, but she found it hard to get into the game because of two things... one, the crashes, and two, she didn't enjoy the aesthetic.  She's someone who makes anime character doodles and listens to jpop, so take it with a grain of salt, but she said that Planeshift wasn't "pretty".

In a way, she's right.  Planeshift seems to be more focussed on the dark, dirty nature of medieval life - at least at this stage in developement.

You have to stress the "beta" part of this game and the fact that  things will go alot slower than comericail games as everything is done for free and leisure. However I think if
they where around to see any of the updates the team does, especially the last ones, they would be very impressed. I mean who can say that they wernt struck dumb by the Bronze doors region the first time they saw it?

I wasn't.  I find the terrain to be choppy, and I'm not happy with the waterfall effect.  I'm a country boy though and I have very high standards for representing the beauty of nature in visual art.  I do see the bronze doors region as a monumental improvement however, and taken along side the other road maps, I think it shows that PS is headed in a great direction.
