You're correct Zen; they did tell us we'd be getting it^^
Edit - On the subject of hair:
To get obscenely long hair like that would be really difficult to have it so long and looking 'lifelike' ><.
It would clip like hell with pretty much everything (Here's to you, hoods, shields and 2h weapons that rest on your back!)
Even in the latest tour video when they showed the Female Ro with the long hair, it looked a bit like a wobbly board. Granted they're probably still tweaking physics and whatnot but with longer hair it's difficult because it needs to have a fluid motion all the way down otherwise it just looks odd><
The longer it is, the harder it is to achieve this effect. Also; more continued 'micro-motions' as I'll call them can create a lot of lag, especially if there are many people with this hairstyle. In 1-player games it's not noticeable because there are only so many people that would have that style... but in an MMO it wouldn't work well;;.
I've done a bunch of 3D modelling in the past and always found that the longer the hair, the harder it was to work with it and not have it look like some 'tubular glob stuck to your head' ; ;. Because of this, I'm not expecting to see anything longer than just below shoulder length ; ;
