For a while it seems, you guys have been messing with the Contact images for Radio, Golden Roller and Archmage Tarixus.

I just wanted to let you know, they keep getting worse. Go back to the originals, please.

The new image for Archmage Tarixus pushes his name and progress bar up and over causing the whole contact window to look just plain odd.

I don't see why the image was replaced in the first place. It was a close up image of Tarixus. What was wrong with that? Ditto for the Radio and Golden Roller.

FYI, the contact images aren't really plain images, they are frozen 3d environments with the contact standing in a blank instance and a camera directed at their head. That's part of why it took older computers so long to load the contact list... having to load so many more 3d environments at the same time.

There are bugs that actually place other items within that instance too.. try viewing it from your SG base for example.

The costume images work the same way, but it'd be impossible for them to have an image for every costume combination... so that's not likely to change. lol

I agree, if they stopped messing with how they worked, or converted the contact pictures to plain images, it'd be a lot more consistent.
