    I looked but didn't end up changing anything as there isn't really anything 'new' in there. From your news article Meg, purple and other colored hair etc is not 'new' to the game, just only available through stylists before, at least that is what I understood, that the original avatar creation interface that newcomers now get (as opposed say to the one we got a remake in with the intro of Cry engine) simply now includes some of the things only available before through stylists or body skillers. A technicality I guess, since we don't have stylists etc on NI much, I guess some of that is 'new' to NI as in new to the creation system, but not new to the game. To be honest, a bit of a loss to those hair and body skillers, hopefully some really 'new' features will turn up for them later on :)

    also there is a thread (no pics yet though) on the avatar tweaks HERE

    Lee, as i understand it, theres a bit more veriety in the sliders now.

    As before avatar recreation, they let us have all options, otherwise people with customised avas would be pissed.

    Idk tho.

    The hairstyles and colour definately isnt new.

    I think the ability to age the face is tho.

    Yeah, very true, Stave. I was able to kill ten years...

    But now I'll have some problems getting a beer, when the shipment arrives... *sigh*

    :p

    I for one needed a Nun-change :cool: I make her over everytime I have the possibility! Otherwise life would be too boring haha

    SO here's the old Nun (no jokes here, thank you very much...)
