Time To Change??
Hey Everyone.


This is gonna sound kinda dumb..... well very dumb lol but meh.
I was in a party last night and one of the guys in party said "Your chars too tall it looks like a freak"

Now my Char is a Hume Female with the Blonde Ponytail, When I made the char I made her "Large" cause I tried Small and Med and they seemed to look like lil kids and I wanted a to look morw adult.

Anyway since he said that it's kinda been botherin me.... And I'm thinking of startin over as a Mithra or Taru....

I have done a fair amount on my char...

Lv 70 SMN
Rank 6
All Avatars
Sky Access
CoP Riv Site B

Aswell as some other stuff & Jobs lvld.


Kinda comfused what to do.... Yea I know it sounds dumb but it's botherd me what he said, Do I give it all up n start over?
Or do I keep going as I am?

Think it made it worse that his char was shorter then mine he must of made a small male hume or med....

Thanks.

Re: Time To Change??
You would scratch a perfectly good 70th level character because one semi-retarded ignoramus thinks an 8 pixel height difference makes you too tall?

To become a tarutaru that looks like a deformed snow man?

...or a Jap Hentai fantasy Mithra so the aforesaid ignoramus can now fantasize about the texture of your fur?

Re: Time To Change??
Character look is only important to you. Are you sure you want to throw away all that work and start over just to look different?

I play a Taru, everyone is too damn tall compared to me. Shadow Lord looked freakishly huge though. I bet all the Kindred made fun of him after I kicked his ass.

Re: Time To Change??
Wait, some idiot randomly says your character is too tall and you're letting it get to you?

There's nothing wrong with tall, long legs are teh hawt imo. If you want to start a new character for the sake of starting a new character, then go ahead and do it. But don't do it cause some insecure shorty was intimidated by a chick with a prominent presence. 'sides, you really don't even notice height in this game unless your standing side by side with someone. And it could be worse, you coulda been an Elvaan...those chicks are tall :;>.>

Re: Time To Change??
Give it a couple weeks and/or start leveling a mule. All sorts of stuff happens "last night," and the odds of you feeling the same about it a month from now as you do now are pretty slim.

Personally, I try not to let other people's specific perversions effect my game much.

Yeah. I've fought Shadowlord as a Hume and as a Taru, he's about five times more epic for the little guys.

That said, if you don't like the way your character looks YOURSELF, you could always level a mule for awhile-- if you like it, just keep leveling it until it passes your old character. Or there's always .dat swapping, if you don't care what other people think (you shouldn't); there should be programs out there that convert your character to any race you want automagically, although those might need Windower.

Re: Time To Change??
You've suffered through 70 levels of SMN, you just got up to the part where SMN becomes fun, and now you want to throw it all away because of one stupid comment that one idiot made?

You're a bigger person than that. Get over it and play on.

Re: Time To Change??
I agree I like my Mithra with blond Pony Tails and I wouldn't throw her away for nothing even though I just started it. Besides, does looks even really matter that much in this game? To me I don't think so at least not yet, but don't let some close minded fool make you start over thats dumb!
