Damien said:Next in my wish list are fully customizable avatars. I want to look unique while roaming around in a persistent online world. Right off the bat, let me choose my skin color, build, height, face, tattoos, hairiness, and, to some degree, what I'll be wearing when I first enter the online world. And don't just give me three or four choices; give me two or three dozen choices so I don't look like fifty-percent of the rest of the online population. I don't want my toon (another word for online avatar) to look like he was a product of mass inbreeding. And during my adventures through the wonderful online world, let me upgrade my look, and not just with clothing. Let me get new tattoos, scars, hair coloring, nose ring, etc. Let me be able to advance my look to reflect my online bad-assness (Anarchy Online pretty much does all this, so they get high praise from me in that department).
