[Suggestion] Paid Race Change Program.

[Alhanelem]

Yes please!!! I've been wanting a paid race change service since the beginning of this game

If you wanted it at the beginning of the game, why didn't you just delete your character and make a new one?

shouldn't you then be able to tailor your race to match your desired profession?

No, you shouldn't.

What people SHOULD do is pick their race carefully knowing that it can't be changed.

We'll make a deal. Once we have the capbility to change a real live person's race, I'll support race changes. Until then, it should be as unchangeable in the game as it is in real life.

Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds?

Man, how many times have you argued in other threads about how real world rules don't apply to the in-game world? ...I mean, I'm not surprised by the total disregard for consistency, so much as that I hope you don't expect anyone to take you seriously. If you do, you can turn in your troll badge now.

I don't understand. You're so reasonable and progressive on the XIV forums, and yet on this issue at least, you're extremely conservative.

You should definitely have the option of changing your race. It's totally unreasonable to say 'pick your race now, if you want to change it you have to start all over again, by the way this game is 10 years long so megatrollz to you'.

I can understand not wanting name changes, because you want to be able to watch out for players you know are trouble. But in a world where there are 12 different appearances, you do not recognise people by appearance, you recognise them be username.

It just baffles me that anyone would support a pseudo-punisment of a decision you made when you were younger, and in all likelihood, eager to actually start playing the game.

So by that logic, you would be ok with someone getting an in game sex change?

I'm guessing then that Galka would be changed into a Mithra with that service? That or they make female galkas for XI..

Real Life != A Video game

FFXI is a game they can add some microtransations to add race changes other mmos have this feature to make some extra money. Give players a chance to change up their char if they get bored of their current one and keep all their progress.

So let's see, you all want a race change because you all are unhappy with your character, yet want to keep all your stuff, accomplishments etc.? Why not make a new character? Oh wait, that will be a lot of work to get all your stuff back that you had with your old character. This is what it basically boils down to.

-This subject keeps getting necro'd every so often. I personally don't care if you all want to change name / race, but the 1st ls leader who basically swipes the ls bank then changes race / name to get away without repercussions will kill this feature once it is implemented.

Taking the above into account, maybe it is possible to just change your personal appearance, but not how you appear to others- legally. Meaning, no use of a 3rd party program to do so, yet make it available to players who want to change their own appearance for their own satisfaction only.
