Edit: Wow, there's a lot in this one. Let's hope we're all distracted from that last thing...

Although all races will be available from phase one of the beta test, not all customization options will be available. We're putting a lot of work into various options such as hair styles and colors (a whopping 192 shades are being planned!) based on feedback from the alpha test, and everything should be ready by phase three.

SE LISTENED? WHAT IS SUCH SORCERY!?

Highlander female still looks like a boy in drag >.> I guess that's part of the appeal though :p and the Roe fem. just looks scary D: Man'qote? Meh. . . .

The Lalafell... Is she sporting a braid? I can't exactly tell, but sorta looks like it.

Hold on a second... is Ifrit even bigger now!?! If I'm not mistaken, the Midlander in the foreground for scale makes Ifrit look twice as big as he was in 1.0! Clearly the Amalj'aa have been busy gathering crystals.

That was a pleasant read.

A lot of good information here. Also nice to see some faces behind the names. Most important thing Yoshi-P told us was that they are on schedule so........about 3 more weeks til the Beta Benchmark and Phase 1 Beta testing. I am ready.

Female highlander is nice. :o Good read.

I'm glad Yoshi didn't draw a curse....

I thought the Highlander female looked like a 'irl' strong women - someone who may actually scare you but is also appealing.

Roe reminds me of WoW female orc, except with 1000% better graphics lol (not an insult, unless you hate WoW - but that's not my problem ;P).

So excited to see all the new combinations >.<! (Not all options will be available at phase one)

lol at the "I drew another curse face"
