I didn't read all 33 pages so this may have been said, but the suggestion of earrings isn't doable - the earrings come with the top, at least for my monk's armor.

I would love to change my monk from a bun-head, though you don't really see her hair cause she wears a bandana most of the time. xD

I really like the Idea of an NPC to change hairstyles and colour in-game, my char is about 500 hours old and im getting bored of her hairstyle, what more, it doesnt seem to sit nicely with the armor I recently bought. An NPC to change hair would be an awsome update!

As has been said a hundred times already, this is something so many people want to see.

Gaile suggested some time ago that it might happen, but then, who knows. It'd be damn fine if it did (and i really am only refering to hair styles/colors), but i still feel it to be a longshot at best.

Just being able to change the hairstyle from among the choices of your character's default continent would be nice. No extra modeling work needed for artists/programmers, no extra download Time for anybody, and the character creation process already demonstrates that hairpieces are just modular "wigs" anyway. I'm not really into the idea of changing skin tones however.

/unsigned No, we don't need a hair stylist for a money sink as if you read other whiney threads you would notice that having no money to spend is already a big issue with a lot of whiney players. This would just add fuel to the fire for more ways to get money in the game and easy ways so people can just pick their noses and money just jumps into their bank vault.

It has already been said that it won't happen unless we want to pay for it through the online store like some other games do.

I don't believe ANet ever saying they'll implement it if we're willing to pay for it... although I guess that goes without saying -- "show me the money!!"

But really, this needs to be done, I made a second warrior just for this stupid purpose. I don't understand why it's not doable... and even if it's not a gold sick, why does it matter? Not that I mind having to pay for it.

There are numerous other NPCs out there that one can continuously use without the need to spend money. So saying, "this will be abused" is ruled out.

I don't know much about programming/coding but if it's doable in a simple game like RO then I don't see why it's not doable in GW. Dammit even a piece of crap game like Priston Tale had "hair potions".

I would like to think they've already been persuaded and know what 90% of the community wants. They will likely implement this either before Gw2 or in Gw2.

What better than to get people giddy then to go "Hair Stylist in six months when we start to loose some people, that'll be perfect." or such?

GW2 it is then... oh well, too bad for me. I don't think I'll be participating in GW2... life's getting a little important/busy for games

If you don't need something, don't use it.
I thought it was kind of obvious, at least more than "ok I dislike something I don't need to have, let's make other players not being able to have it either"

/signed. It's not like GW's economy wasn't screwed, was it ?

If would be annoying to have all things one after another until GW2.

If they add them NOW, they'll keep more people and you won't get things when the new game is there, so more people would move to the new one.

Perhaps a cost of 5k per hairstyle change would be great.

Cost is of least concern. More important is: would it be done?

Would be nice.

I dunno about rings and stuff, but hairstyles would be nice.
Maybe even full body costumes... I dunno.

Well given that this thread is 34 pages long, you'd think Anet would finally listen to us.

But we appreciate your luck.

Once again .... as everybody says .... /signed definitely, this would be really great, and I don't think this would be hard to implement in game ...
As said before, cost isn't the main problem right now, we just have to know if Anet will listen to that one day ... will consider our request.
It makes so long I wanna change my Monk's hair ^^ or .... should I erase my char and make a new one ? no no no, definitely no.

People want height to be changed as well. This should be implimented, since there's half a million threads about this. I've been wanting to give Raenef new hair for a long time.

/signed like it has never been signed before.

I would really, really, REALLY like this hairstyle thing to be put in the game. When I made my assassin, I tried to make him look as much like me as the options would allow. I like to do that as it's kind of like putting myself in the game. However, times change and so do tastes... My assassin has fairly neat, short hair... And mine is down past my shoulders. Surely his hair would have grown in this amount of time... :S I feel so alienated from him! [/sad]

But really... I would like to be able to keep my character's styles up to date with my tastes.
