Missing Genders: A request for Male Miqote, Female Highlander, and Female Roegadyn

I cant even understand (nor do I want too) where some of you people are coming from. The topic for the last few pages totally disgusts me, and the fact that people are even considering baring people from a name change because they think they will use it to get rid of a bad rep is just silly. Who gives a shit.

2.0 is right around the corner. Its f*cking make or break time. I want to know how SE is going to entice new players, and what their plans are to ensure player retention. Because so far, Im not nearly as impressed as I'd like to be. We have bigger issues to worry about, everything else is bullshit.

On topic-ish:

Goblins = Win
Viera = Fail

I was under the impression that they will allow a name change when they allow us to change looks and races. They way it was worded made it seem like it was a one time thing... not a new service.

All I'm saying is, If SE wants 2.0 to go well, all us girly named cats better get to get new names.

otherwise there are going to be a buncha fruity male cats running around with names like Kitty Princess and Fifi McFluffyTail


Imagine how dumb the screenshots would look if those are the kinds of names running around on MALE CHARACTERS.

Last post on this topic from me...

Concern over players changing their name to avoid a bad reputation is not valid. In every MMO ever that allows name changes, players who try to hide behind a different name are always found out.

At the cost of someone getting ripped off again.

No, it usually happens because people notice when a new characters shows up on the server wearing the same gear and with the same job levels as a prior offender.

Yay for posb name change!

Yay for posb name change!

And here's hoping it comes into development!

The /names command is your friend until they do allow name changes.

That's all it is so far - a one time deal - there's no information that anyone can possibly go on that it'll be a continued service any time soon (I am of course saying that because things can change in the long run, not that I think or don't think SE will make it a service).

My only thing with this is that Lunarians don't look much different from humans (in this case Hyurs), so them being impltemented is unlikely.

I do remember something about a beast (was it dragon-ish?) like race being in the works. I personally think a Viera option would be awesome *_*

The thing is, Lunarians are more potent in size, mind and spirit. Regardless if they were the same in appearance in FFiv, this is xiv and Lunarians can look different in appearance. I would leave it open to an expansion so if anyone really wants to change their names or race, when an adventurer get the expansion and completes half-way through the missions, they could be accepted to the Lunarian community and change what ever they want.

Due the the Lunarian superior race and technology, an adventurer could/would be able to enhance a curtain degree of physical stats, attributes and appearance. Breaking the custom on the armoury system, adventurers can adopt a sub or new weapon of choice for their class or job. Lunarians have such superior skills and art that new crafts would be made available with more materials and items, equipment and gear to learn to make. Lunarian race would make such a huge and expansive difference to xiv that it would be plain wrong to ignore this concept.
