Is this something you would like added in extra. I actually like the idea of a mirror to change hair style and the such. I actually find the idea of using a barber kind of lame when you can just do your hair yourself!

There are plenty of people who have quit until 2.0 comes to be. And to just log in one day and see this option here I fear could cause quite a problem. Like Rem said earlier there will be bad feedback no matter what happens, but perhaps it could be kept to a minimum. Not only that, but there could be some people who are still undecided (like myself) and may not even be ready by then. And I would like to be able to continue playing while I still know I can think about the choice.

I mean something like "I was asked to recreate my character when I logged in! I didn't want to start over so I said no. Now I find out that I could have kept all my levels and everything!?!? And I can't do this anymore? S.E. how could you do this to me?"

That would be fine, but what if you can not log in? what if the changes from old to new are so different, that the old character would not be compatible to even log in until changes are made to it.

I see what you mean about people not understanding, but that honestly would be their fault for not reading update notes.

Now that said it could be worded differently....like....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Due to many changes in character design, we have given the ability to redesign your character (you will not lose any progress in this process)"
Yes
NO
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Understandable. If things are not compatible then it would force you to recreate. Not given an option to "would you like to recreate y/n". Am I correct? If this is the case then it should be told to us in advance if done so. This is the whole point is trying to figure out how things should be taken into consideration when this happens.

I would have to disagree with you on saying its peoples faults for not reading update notes. In no where when you purchase the game does it say "You are required to read update notes posted on the lodestone forums. If you take a break from the game for months you are still required to read the update notes. Please visit the Lodestone everyday to be sure you do not miss any update notes or patches that are introduced to the game. Failing to not log on and memorizing the giant wall of text we provide you will be on your shoulders. Thank you."

I like the way you worded it there. This is much better than "Do you wish to recreate. Y/N." But now is this a one time only thing? Should you not be able to play until you're ready to decide? I personally would like to be able to log in and see how the new races look before I'm ready to select a new race or keep the current one.

Gender change is confirmed. Or we all need to make a new char for the new genders coming with 2.0
Only the name change is still in the air


I think we would be automatically entering the char creation with the char in the old setting, then we can press ok or make/test some changes.
