Since Camate is the most active here on the forums and I don't want him and (I don't know his forum name) Matt to go in a arm wrestling match to post, I have a simple question and request.
A Few Months ago during the Weekly Q&A The question about Race Change was denied due to equipment issues..... I was wondering if you guys can ask the devs or give us more specifics in why this was denied because I am desperate in wanting to have my main character in a new race/form.
Back when I first started this game.... I was a HUGE NOOB.... For real.... but I learn alot of the mechanics all by myself within a week or so and learned how to use the Auto chat system and everything. FFXI was my first MMORPG I ever played and I started because it was a FF game and I say a Trail disc that was only $3. So I tried it.... made my character (A Elvaan) not knowing about any of the glasses or about the history in the races and jobs..... and went with what I have.... But a year later after I finally hit 75 in my WHM I started feeling really distant with my race.... my heart and soul was dragged more to a Tarutaru and I felt more tarutaruish then elvaanish.... I could not start over from the beginning again because I worked so so hard and made my character great as it was....
I started a new character and made it a Tarutaru and loved it from that moment forward and had lots of good times and made me love myself and felt more whole inside since... but I still felt incomplete as I wanted to make it my main but couldn;t because of so much work I have and wanted to do on my main as it was....
Yes I do know abyssea is here and I can get to 90 in a snap these days... but that does not help me relive the lost times. So Please I am begging you from one honorable player to the Leads and to Altana herself.... can you please see if there is anyway this can be implemented or explained in more detail..
Thanks,
Sevokevo - Siren

06-20-2011, 09:22 PMSevokevoI want to be a true Tarutaru that everyone can see... not a fake one that only I can see.... But I don't really want to use the 3rd party windower because My Gaming Tools I use will not work on the 3rd party one.Quote:

Sorry for the double post but I was hoping to have a higher response rate in this matter. :( I just really hope Camate or one of the Community Leads would respond soon.

Would be nice to have a name change option to. I don't see the big deal with why we can't change our names if we want to. World of Warcraft offer these services for small fees. Seems like a no brainier to me for Square Enix to make some easy money.

06-21-2011, 05:54 PMRunespiderOn wow your name and character mean next to nothing, nobody really has a main as you can level a new char free for every job you wish to play. On FFXI your character is your main and that is your identity, I doubt they will ever do name or race changes as part of the game system.Quote:

I'd still like to see face changes...

I don't really want a race change ability. Your race gives you a sense of identity in the game.

There is no info on a race change because it will never happen.

Oh look it's this thread again...
-
06-22-2011, 08:01 AMsvengalisI fail to see your point. This can still be(has been done before) done now. All you have to do is change servers but I don't to go through all that.Quote:

Make a new char, do all the quest/missions you did, get back all your title, buy back all your spells, level up back all your jobs, do again all the NM you did for your rare/ex, Get back your floor 100 nyzul, your last rank assaut, do again dynamis for your access to tavnazian, yeah, it's fairly easy and fast to make a new char same as your old one... hmmm...
Event if it's only Abyssea - abyssea - abyssea thoses day, some ppl like to have all acces to help mate or whatever (farm AFv1~2, mythic WS, AFv1~2+1,etc..). -

DO it on a mule since you can just send EVERYTHING to yourself now.

06-22-2011, 05:21 PMZumiPeople said the same thing about the level cap being raised above 75. So never say never.Quote:

Look I was wondering is the reason in more detail then what was given in the Q&A. Now if I had my second computer built I might have look into making a 2nd account and dual box but as of right now on my main I still have lots to do on it and I have barely little time to play since I am most of the time working and can only get in the game at a minimum of 1 day every 2 weeks since I need to go to bed right when I get home and when I get up, I don't get enough time to have a good enjoyable time In-game till I have to go straight to work.

06-24-2011, 01:35 AMAlhanelemI don't want it to happen, so I will say never.Quote:

I wonder if it will ever go past 99. This will be really weird if it did. But that is not the point of the topic.

I use to play as a hume named Ryudo.
I got pretty far on it as well.
But after learning to play the game I made a 2nd Character on the same account.
After about a year of playing my Tarutaru end up surpassing the Hume and at that point I sent everything to the tarutaru and deleted the Hume.
I know you don't want to spend months leveling up a new character.
But since you already know what you doing, it should go a lot faster and smoother.
And with the ability to send a lot of rare ex items across on the same account.
It will be the storyline and certain wins you need to do again. -

I could see face/head change, but I'm guessing with the spaghetti code that this game started with race change would be difficult to implement, so even if they eventually decided to give us race change, it would likely be so far at the bottom of the list of things to do that most of us would not be around to see it happen
