pre order EQII now, DAMN YOU SOE!!!

get character creation software that SAVES your character (nice if it let's you reserve a name server wide)

get a pair of J-BOOTS (would be a nice start - I hate natural lowb run speed)

GRRR

Who is getting the EQ II collectors edition?

/raise hand

Lud and I have the character creation for EQII and it was a ton of fun fiddling around making characters. There are a few things I find annoying though as the EQ character creation is not NEARLY as nice as the one for SWG. You do get to mess with hair colors and hair styles and some facial features, but adjusting the height/weight/muscle etc is not doable. Well you can adjust the height somewhat, but it is hard to tell. Rather than showing a stationary growth they zoom in for taller and zoom out for shorter so it makes it hard to tell exactly how tall/short you are making your toon. The thing that really makes me said is NO MAKE-UP! Come on now! Girls can tattoo their faces but they can't at least put on lipstick! So far I am actually disappointed as far as the depth they put into character creation for EQII vs. SWG. SWG character creation wins hands down right now.

Few other gripes:

The barbs look more like ogres as far as body mass. That SS on the EQII website is off by far on Barb chicks as to what was on the character builder. Instead of Paris Hilton you get Stiffler's Mom. Woad styles are nice, but only one color.

High elf males look like Michael Jackson with elf ears.

The Wood Elves actually came out pretty nice for both male and female. Probably gonna be one of the highest placed races besides human and DE.

Half-Elves (didn't check out males yet) One thing though I found VERY annoying on Half-Elf chicks is that they friggin have PIERCINGS! Like totally GOTH piercings. Eyebrows, lips, nose and I didn't pay attention to the belly button, but I am sure it was probably there too. It actually looks very tacky. Maybe if they had put some gems on the piercings instead of crappy silver barbells it might have had some merit.

Dark Elves of course look like they got the most attention. Very elaborate hairstyles and best features on the face.

Ogres really look like ogres now. Too bad some of the ogres actually look better than the barb chicks .

Gnome chicks have about 10 different pairs of glasses to choose from with different colored tinted lenses. I didn't really mess around much other than checking out the glasses :b.

All-in-all I am hoping they revamp the character creation and add more too it as far as customizing the build of your character. I would like to make my shaman look less like a female version of Arnold Schwarzzenegger (sp?) and more like a chick. However I will be going Barb chick regardless.

Half elves should look punkish, they're the rebel race anyway from all of the descriptions I read. Trolls look pretty sweet (quite angry too). But yea hopefully they'll add more for body customization- if anyone plays City of Heroes, you'd see a high-quality character customizing setup, and hopefully this game follows that path (somewhat)

Oh yea, isn't Paris Hilton too thin to be a barbarian anyway?

~Nynji

PS Keiri can you post some SS of your creations for fun? Like the Stiffler's mom one :P

[Buchalter]

Here ya go, Nynji...


... yes, I'm bored at work today
