I created a BEAUTIFUL DARK BLACK Paragon, then tonight I logon, get patched and now he's an ugly white boy with brades!! WTF! Even my other characters have changed. Yeah, I've been away.

But, since did become okay to change your character's appearance then post a message saying I can change it back for 10 feraking dollars....WTF!!!??

Uh, I see a black paragon on your screen there. When was the last time you played Gw? There was an update that changed how all our chars looked on the login screen once, but after you play that character it reverted back to normal.

Yeah, I really don't see what you're talking about. You're in game and your Paragon isn't white, he's as dark as you said he was. His appearance was changed at the log-in screen, but reverted back to the normal look as soon as you play him.

They just took the notice off of the login screen. No need to be alarmed.

No, those pictures are from 2006, when i last took ascreen shot of that character. Sorry about...my bad.

I'll try the log in, log out. I was afraid to, because i really did believe that it would set the character to the way it is on the log in screen. That's why I posted a message to see if it can be fixed before i got back into the game.

Alright, all you have to do is start playing on that character. The last big update in april changed how the faces were recorded or some technical reason like that.

As others said, it was a byproduct of a big update which will fade once you entered the game with each character.
