Hey guys,

Some may have noticed that their characters have had a most interesting change .

I logged on my male ranger only to find out that it was a female!! LOL
Some other people characters have also undergone this change (male to female and vice versa).

GG ANET, you made me LOL.

*Note - Changes are NOT happening in Kaineng

ROFL. Yeah it's really funny.

It's a good chance to take screenies of your char, as they walk on the other side.

On a side note, I wonder if this is a prelude to some kinda hairdresser, As each character is unique and not just a remodel of the one skin.

Talk about gender issues... Didn't one used to have to go to Sweden for an operation like this?

Some how, I think this will start a new wave of people demanding hair stylists and what not since Anet previously said it was impossible and now this...

Most of my characters look like crap as men (especially my warrior and Canthan ranger, who got "old man" faces). Necro and rit look okay, though...

Amusing little event, but since it shows everyone how easily they can modify the character files, I have to wonder.



I know it's been long debated here as to if ArenaNet has the ability to simply change character features such as hair style (the argument people seem to have against the hair stylist being added to the game) and those folks who do know about coding have been trying to explain to them that each piece of the character is simply saved on the servers as a small string of data that re-creates the character each time you load them and colors them appropriately.

Since they've pretty much showed how easily they can allow changes with the characters (with this April Fools joke) do you think it will change the people's minds who are insistent that the characters are saved as solid image files that take up gigs upon gigs of space and editing such a file would require countless hours of work and as such ArenaNet has a valid reason for ignoring all the requests for a hair stylist?

If so, do you think we might get one soon?

Same armor and the hair color is the same, etc. All I think Anet did was a little bit-twiddlin'...
