Maybe a Transsexual Tonic? If you drink it your char will become the opposite gender for like 20 minutes?

An NPC would be a bit weird imo... But a magic tonic from santa or whatever would be believed by anyone :P

I'd like it.

But people have been wanting to able to go back and change hairstyles as well.

But if they can change your sex by just mapping into a town anything is possible. And if so I say why not.

Ye been in The Hairstylists/Auction House/Level Cap Petition forum bombarded many times. But Anet has also oficially said they wanted to implement this at some point. The problem however, is the structure of the game, which disallows changes of characters appearance, without logging out and back in. So a NPC wouldnt really work, since you would require a menu like the Character creation screen.

But this april-fools joke suggests they might have found a way around this and can make sex-changes possible, or at least by switching to certain districts. Maybe they can make a NPC in the command post, since that area is an explorable one.

A possible solution is not actually changing your account details but checking your inventory to see if a wig, belt of gender change is there. If it is switch the flag like it does now.

So, it only happens when you have an item in your inventory, otherwise it defaults. That way permanent changes to an account(the hard bit so i'm told) are'nt required.

This change could cause Guild Wars to reach headline status.

...for all the wrong reasons, of course.

Or like a miniature type of thing? Double click to change gender?

Hmm? For sex change, map travel was enough, it seems that apperance changes while inside instance are not impossible either (Third NF mission shows that), so i dotn see any technical hurdle in that...

Not /signed, unless you changed "sex changer" to "hair changer".

And if they're not going to add a hairstylist, I highly doubt they would allow a sex change.

Well if they don't want to have sex changes then why did they make it an as an April Fool's joke? Why couldn't they have done something else then? Because ANET is planning to implement this feature. It may come this weekend, or it may come with the release of GW:EN. But either way theres at least a 90% of this being implemented.

Seing firsthand that Anet has the tech and scripts to easily do this, I see no reason for it not to be introduced, that along with Hairdresser.

All they did was show they could, and we liked it.

I could see this working. The only thing that might make it difficult is that our characters may have to "rezone" to create the sex-changed effect. I'm not sure if that is true or not, as we do change into [Spoiler]Corsairs, Kournans, and even Wurms across the span of the NF campaign[/Spoiler]. I can just see the NPC in LA now. Mikal Jacson [Sex Change Operation] will be standing right next to our friend Firstwatch Sergio. Because we all know he's been a little too feminine, right?

Strangely, my male dervish ended up with the exact hair (maybe face) as what I would have chosen for a female. I wouldn't mind being able to change him. Only problem is that his name is for a male, not that most people would know (it's in an African language).

Either than that, most of my characters (mostly female) looked scary, well except maybe my assassin and necro (my other male characters).

as far as im concerned about the whole transexual protest..they let u choose wether or not to be a man or woman in the first place, so its already oldnews.

secondly-i think its a great idea..but instead of just hairstylists, and sex changers...why not a 'makeover magician', or something that deal with complete body, hair, gender (as in recreating a charachter). if there are any problems such as saved information, or having to design a program it would only take weeks tops..assuming this is a 2nd majority type of upgrade.

o and btw, this isnt my idea, i used to play runescape and i recall a charachter rebuild, like the makeover mage being used. with the graphic ups and the programmers the instal, and create updates..this should be fish food..just need enough votes on a poll or something im assuming.

unless your name is like 'manly man of men' i doubt it can be that obtrusive asto think that a women might have the name. but i do agree, a name change would be nesseccary, but easier to change then the entire rest of the charachter...think of changing the title of a 1,000 page book, vs. rewriting the 1,000 page book.
