I think your avatars are scaring away new players

I just wanted to inform you of that.
Everyone I've tried talking into playing this end up uninstalling as soon as they seen the character avatars. :lol:

They could probably be updated. However, I think its low on the priority list.

Can't you guys use stock photos or something? These smudgy homosexuals are literally scaring away 90% of the people I talk into playing this.
I don't care about it personally, as I'm more focused on actual game play, I'm just telling you how it is.

You would have more luck with no avatars at all, actually.

If anything, I would suggest letting players upload their own image.

Alright, post a link here on this topic to the image you would like to use. The proper format is jpg in the proportion 250 x 300.

I do mean the avatars that you choose from in the game, not the forum images. If there was any confusion :lol:
Is that what you meant too?

I'm just saying that several people whom I have talked into playing get to the character creation screen, and then give up on the game because all of the character images are a bit disturbing.
I blame the high expectations for art in videogames, it's kinda sad really :(

Yes, that's what I meant too. Post the image you want to use and i'll see if it can be added as a custom portrait for you in-game.

Custom Image should cost 10k-20k tokens.


No reason to give this away, colored names cost money as should custom avatars.


BTW nobody really cares about some stupid picture in the profile, sorry but a custom avatar won't make you a better player. And I say bull on the 90% of the players you asked, 8 year olds have no voice here. Do you have a problem with homosexuals Weylin? Perhaps it's time to find a new game.....whining like this ruins the game for everyone else. The avatars are a non-issue....much more important issues need to be addressed before custom avatars are introduced unless it makes toonces a ton of cash in token sales it is a waste of time for just one player.
