First off, this isn't a joke. I am not by any means making a funny here. I don't mean to offend either. I am seriously interested in this matter.
I don't mean to sound dull, but how come we can't have fat characters? I have been playing for 2+ years and have wondered this many times.
I myself think it would be great to have a rotund Hammer Warrior, or a jolly Necro. The fat monk is one of those historical necessities, isn't it? I mean, with the degree of customization available to us, why not include horizontal girth? An obtuse Elementalist or Mesmer lavishly attired would be great, I think.
Coming soon, GW2, right, wherein we will be able to play characters of different races (an inclusion that I thought had been rumored a year or so back to be part of Factions). Well, if we can make a Dwarf PC why not a chubby one?
So, who else has wondered this? I did a search for "fat" and came back with no entries....

All male warriors are fat. They seem even fatter when they are W/Mo and wearing black FoW. Norgu is pretty chubby too.
It would be cool if eating made you fatter (high sweet tooth = fatter character) just like in GTA: San Andreas.

Because.. Society doesn't find fatarse people appealing. Sexyness sells more, interests people more, and etc. That's just about why we don't have this feature.

lol just like in pso my fat short force kicked some major ass i think we should have a system like that i would love to make a fat little mesmer girl that pwned all

well... when you're a hero, going from the island of Istan to the desolation to the realm of torment, fighting undeads, hordes of heket and getting eaten by a wurm, then facing Margonites that outnumber your party, without eating anything cept for cupcakes, chocolate bunny, crème brulé, sometimes beancake... with rice wine or dwarven ale... I don't think it's possible to be fat.

Fatness could work on a character made to look ugly. If it's a hideous necromancer, bulging with fat, slumped over, an ever-present, yellow-toothed grin on his face, wide glazed-over eyes...
I think more the issue is that they'd have to make two types of armor for every class due to body type. Odd how they can easily do that sort of thing in a game like Fable, yet in a MMO it's just too much.

have you not heard? Anet only employs supermodels and fires anyone over 35. Thus it is reflected in their products.

Neverwinter Nights allowed chubby characters.
Almost no one used those.

Because all the fatty nerds would have their feelings hurt.
I mean,they changed Jora simply because she would clearly intimidate them.

Also, if you run around as much as any characters do, i'm sure you won't have troubles like loosing weight.

Yet another reason why most of my chars are male.

Try running across three continents. You won't be fat either. Since it would be too difficult to incorporate weight loss in the game, they decided to just keep the weight light.
Also, sex sells. Troll thread is troll.

pft, fat assassins ftw.

Norgu is fat...

I have to look at fat people all day long, why should I have to look at them in the game, too?
Pickletron
Don't want to stir anyone up would you rather have an army of the fit looking warriors now or an army of fat guys?
They're simply healthier that fat people and when I say fat I mean FAT, not just bigger then they are now.

And most places like them Asian nations don't have a FAT epidemic going on, unlike other nations... You know who they are, classing FAT as a national health crisis, making SUV seat wider for the 'full bodied consumer"

What's wrong with having different body types.
Everyone will look different. You won't see many chubby people, but they will stand out as being different.

I too would like an option to increase waist size. Personally I prefer one character to look as much like me as possible - I'm 32, a little over 6 foot, balding, and weigh about 280 Lbs. The rest of my characters, well unless I'm being social I want to look at something attractive and GW's female models fit that bill quite nicely.
I can sorta get a warrior like that in prophecies - it even has the same general face shape if I had somewhat less body fat (not too far off how I looked in my 20's). The handful of other MMO's I have played let me do it, but then that feature wasn't worth a monthly fee (which was the only thing they ever did that GW doesn't do that I would really like).
It's just not a popular option and I would generally agree their time is better spent elsewhere (though if they did it I wouldn't complain), I have 12 characters and the reality is that only one of mine would be fat and I generally bet that is even on the high side. However, since that would be the one I generally use for social stuff that is one of the most important characters.
*shrug* it would be amusing to have a fat female elementalist, but once the "funny" wore off she would be deleted and replaced with one I would rather have on screen if I am to play for several hours. Heck, if she was just a farming character she may even stay in the lineup - it would be continually amusing to see a small rotund female wade into the middle of a group of some wild monsters and kill them all in a few seconds

So maybe allow people to spend 1million gold on making their characters fat, to prove they are wealthy.

I think its a good idea, more variation in characters.
Not everyone is a horny 12yr old that just plays to look at cartoon tits, some people actually enjoy other aspects of the game.

Honestly, if you are going to make it realistic like having overweight characters, then you would have to put up with them stopping every two minutes because they are catching their breath! being overweight and running would kind of wear them out a little.
Next we will be asking for those little electric scooters to run them around on like they have in Disneyland

More dynamic gameplay. Let's say you appear to district and are able to attack against NPC. NPC eventually respawn and your character eventually in that rate start change look and NPC guards start to coming your way. Not that all, fast travel becomes temporally disabled and gates shutted down. Of course this idea works better in-game what is not so instanced etc.

I mean if the game's setting was modern-day (like CoH/CoV), or futuristic (like Tabula Rasa), then I could see chubby characters. It would make sense. But not in GW, please.
