In the Ingame store, besides the new storage tabs, there are new items available:

Makeover Pack - lets you change hair color and style, face, skin color and height of an existing character
Extreme Makeover - lets you change the above and the gender of an existing character
Character Name Change - lets you change an existing character's name (giving the example of "Your Old Name [ Boo ]" to "Your New Name [ Yay ]" Funny.)
Pet Unlock Pack - get all evolutions of all non-prestige pets unlocked

Go check it out from the character selection screen. Pretty interesting!

I just find it funny that the name change is $15, while the character recustomization is $10.

Disproportionate much?

I have a feeling the name change is going to be much more popular than the character recustomisation. Makes sense to me to charge more for it. :P

Just wait till tomorrow or the next day. After everyone else has gotten their free storage panel, the site should load a bit better.

I think name change require some database modification and not to mention the dreading customized weapon and armors, so consider the work involved, it is reasonable to be more expensive.

I wouldn't change ur name straight away. Don't forget all ur armour is customised to ur current name. There are cases where people change their name and cant wear/ weild anything coz it is all customised to their old name. Wait for this bug to be fixed. I no i will be. Dont wanna lose my 20/20 max dmg req 8 storm bow and full ancient armour on my ranger.

What I find funny are the makeover packs. You can get 5 normal ones, or a single extreme one which is exactly the same, except it can do gender. and both cost the same.


I think out of all the things you can change the gender would be the simplest, since it only has 2 values. Why the quintuple price?

Get over it.. Even subscription based MMO's charge real money to redesign characters.

Considering we're paying nothing for GW, I have no problems with occasionally having to pay for little things like this, especially considering the £6 lets you redesign 5 characters.

Although I do agree the name change and the tabs are a little overpriced.
