And have you guys tried coding with bionic claws? There are no thumbs! He still can't figure out how to use the shift key.
Even if the costume is just spandex, the RP requirements are brutal. Every time we work on a trailer, Synapse has to agree to get beat up for random cut scenes. This is why our medical premiums keep going up every year. |
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom (or freem?) fighter; just as one man's exploit is another man's feature.
The thing I hate about this policy is that it's so much harder on some players than on others. Think about how it affects altoholics like me. I have over 180 characters now. I had to buy a new house last year just to have a big enough walk-in wardrobe to keep all the costumes in. And if you switch character just by logging out to character select, you really only have thirty seconds plus loading time to get the next outfit out! It's a nightmare!

Most of my characters are different races than me. I fear I'm going to get banned for really bad taste re: facepaint if this policy remains intact.

'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

Oh man. I had no idea. Guess I better hit up the store and stock up on frosting.
On the other hand I could just turn off the A/C and roll up a new(de) alt...

I tend to be quite utilitarian in my shopping; pants and smart shoes, some nice shirts. I have a few skirts and so on for clubbing but I just don't spend hours in stores as I used to.

I wish to complain about just how hard this policy makes it if you instant change between a tailed and nontailed form. Don't even get me started about going between scaled reptilian and human.
