I'm in love with the idea of being able to customize my appearance and I'm sure many of the other players here too feel the same way. But the restrictions in place make this very hard to maintain:
- Zoning in to a different area
- Equipping equipment that affects character motions, such as weapons
- Being the recipient of an attack that removes one's equipment
- Logging out
Now don't get me wrong, I fully understand why the 2nd and 3rd restrictions are in place, for gameplay purposes they need to be implemented. But do we really need to have our appearance changed between zones and logs? I mean I really can't see it affecting gameplay at all and to boot, I'm fairly sure it's accomplishable on a technical level as well.
