A lot of the custom avatars from the old forums are iconic. Ttobey and his dual wielding nunchaku panda riding a dinosaur... /stops to take a breath. This is important for personalization. I hope you guys consider letting us upload our own avatars. Thanks.
(1) Icons for male and female of each race in BOTH standard and SOGA models. (2) Profession Icons, so if I hate the racials I can pick a pally icon instead. Include both adventure and crafting professions. (3) Allow us to upload a custom icon. We already can upload signatures, so there's no real reason to NOT allow customization... I assume that icons would be subject to moderation, just as signatures are. (4) Allow artists to submit custom icons to SOE, and make the coolest selectable from the icon selection screen for everyone. (5) For the love of Holy Erollisi! Why is the icon selection window a tiny and non-resizable popup?!! Just show us the icons on a full page! The popup shows 1 and one-half rows of icons and is a PITA to use. And remember, most of us these days use HUGE monitors. I have a 1900 x 1200 myself, and look at the incredibly poor use of the screen real estate:
Yeah, add me to the ones who would like to see more variety to the EQ2 avatars and especially to having one's own custom avatar. I miss my little dragon laughing. And I'd like to be able to change the bg like we could before.
Import the old forums avatars, with all the class symbols and races and such. And, most importantly, custom avatars!!! Seriously, no custom avatars, and not even all the old avatars? Why was that done?
I would love to see the old forum avatars (race/class/holiday, etc.) - the new high elf female is so snooty. Of course I would most want to upload my custom avatar that matches my signature.
I would like male/female of each race I would also like different armor / clothing of each race. I am not fond of this froglok avatar at all. Also.. if we could have custom, that would be greeeat. *slurps coffee*
This isn't directly related to the avatars, but the posters name should be atleast bold. And I believe it should be over the avatar for more prominence. I find Its difficult to quickly identify the poster if they have no signature. That is, I spend more time scanning for it than I think I should have to.
