Well, the previous thread requesting missing genders was scoring well over 1.5k replies, and I don't really think anyone will skim through the whole of that again, I thought I'd make a new thread, so people apart from the regular lurkers aren't put off by the sheer size of it, specifically regarding the request by Yoshi that we voice our opinions on how we should be allowed to change our characters once 2.0 comes.

He previously stated that we would be allowed to change our characters, since the graphics of the new engine might be different, additional race genders being introduced and some other details I do not quite remember.

Lately, he's become a bit more cautious however, such as in the recent live video

Q: With the launch of 2.0, will we be able to change our character's gender? Can we change names?
A: Are you sure this is a good idea? Continue to give us feedback on the forums! As for the name, currently it may be too long… If we implement the ability to change names, we may want to reduce the length. We’re still thinking about it, so please give us feedback.
Personally, I would like to change my character entirely when the new version hits. The options back in the day weren't particularly fancy, and since he previously suggested that you would indeed be allowed to change, I'd find it cruel if it turns out that you won't be able after all.

There's the race, name, gender and model. What do you think? Do you agree? Please comment, to bring the general opinion on this to the devs.
