You don't do POSER or Paint shop do you?) If other games can animate hair so it moves . . . with a little effort so could SOE. I would buy them if they were SC wigs also. . . . .forget making new hair for each toon. . . . just make wigs. . . . they shouldn't be any different than hats!
Theres no bones to animate our hair in the character skeletons. We have over a thousand animations with all the emotes. Dynamically maybe but we dont currently have that either. Maybe using some kinda of cloth sim, we also have a jigle system which we use now, but has stretching issues. Either way it is definately not little effort. I really want to make new hair for all our players just too time in our current pipeline and dont see any miracle code happening soon. Dave

Nobody will know the difference! Same with giant feet. I think all the giants I've killed died from me beating on their ankles. Seriously though, I appreciate that you guys have obviously looked at this hard. Hopefully it'll be easier to do this kind of thing in EQ Next.
