I think there have been numerous good reasons to add it, and none why it shouldn't besides "I wouldn't use it". If you don't see the need for it, that's fine, but as this topic clearly shows, many people would like it.

Some of us made our characters over two years ago. Expansions have been released since then that add new and better faces/hair, and peoples tastes do change. Maybe someone created a character with pink hair, and would like a more natural colour now, or would like them to be a little taller/shorter.

So again. Why not?

If you wanna be rich in gw, you will. Just farm. Hard? No.

1. New money sink is always good, i want something to spend my money on, which is not titles.
2. Looking rich/cool is always good.
3.Suggestions: As you cant see many chars faces under the armor it would be good if you can modify armor too. Like colour it like you want (i wonder if rainbow colour armor looks cool...

).
4. However i dont really see this coming to gw1... To gw2, yes, it could be possible. But... in gw2 you should be able to customize your character when you make it. Customizing armor for money afterwards would be good.

I thought I recall a dev saying they were not going to put this into the game, though I don't remember exactly... it's a pity, too, because this kind of thing really doesn't take that much time to code. I think any excuses about needing to take people off other projects for a significant period of time are disingenuous. Won't stop them from making that excuse, of course.

I would really like to see this happen. I like to play my necro a lot lately and it's about the only character I play now. Only problem is that I don't like her hairstyle anymore. And i don't want to start a new necro because I'll lose all her titles.

So Anet, pls add this to GW or at least give us a reason why you're not adding it.

It could be useful also for all those graphic bugs like "piercing hair through your armor".

Add it to the NC Store for 10 or 15 bucks...there's a large demand for this type of service.

Ah hell, who am I kidding? I'll throw in an extra 50. All that title farming down the tubes, unless I want to tape a weight down to Z.

this thread has been up for months. i doubt A-net even looks at these threads. don't get me wrong, i would LOVE to have a stylist npc. But we all have to realize, a-net is too worried about gw2 and doesnt really care too much about regular Guild Wars anymore. Thats why they made GW:EN, to keep players occupied and give some elite re-skins of armor. But, keep fighting for that stylist NPC, it would really help out alot of my chars.

more customers for changing hair is bs.

as to why not the head programmers said more than 2 and a half years ago when this first came up that the account database of which your hairstyle is part of is designed (ON PURPOSE) to be tamper proof and not alterable.

they can not do it without reprogramming the database which they will not do.

thats why not

I love this idea! Who wears their hair exactly the same every day? Oh yeah...*looks in the mirror*. lol Anyway, I'd love to have this happen (name changes wouldn't hurt either haha).

But perhaps this will be a Guild Wars 2 thing.

I still think that they could 'fake' it by adding a new variable that 'covers' the base hair.

That way, you go to the Hairdresser, you get another hair that replaces your current one, and the 'default' hair is saved in the fixed properties of the character.

Chaging to other hair styles would cost money, going back to your 'default' one would be for free.

It'd be nice to have a Stylist NPC, just to see what various hair styles would look like on my characters; also, to see if there where any new ones (plaits on Ele's? Afro on your Necro?).

Also, to anyone thinking about name changing, that an be quite hard when it comes to how a database is set up (I assume this is how ANet holds character info), and a character's name can be one of many unique identifiers. Changing names can seriously mess up a database, especially when it wasn't originally planned for.

Im definatly for this idea, I live in constant fear that other players will laugh at me if I show my face in outposts. So pleace anet do add this feature, so that I may once more go into an outpost(ive been stuck outside of shing jea since factions came out since im to afraid to walk inside).

/signed i love this idea and would like to see it put in mainly for my monk and ranger both of which i made right when i started playing and didn't know that i could for my monk any way move the camera angle around to see the back and for my ranger because i think it would be tight to have dreadlocks for a ch that was made in Ascalon. Edit; the other idea i had about this is to add quests like making and getting the stuff need to make the different hair styles just stuff like that.

I'm pretty sure this has been suggested a few dozen times.

It's been /signed by about 4000 people, and Gaile Gray already said they have no plans for something like this in the current Guild Wars, but it is a possibility for GW2.

Lovely idea. I have re-made level 20 characters (who had nice armor and appropriate skills) because I was dissatisfied with the way they looked. A "Stylist NPC" could have fixed this problem. A "Stylist NPC" would simply be nice to have.

This has been brought up a million times, yet I feel it is a great idea and I question what, if anything, is holding ANet back from pulling this off.

Considering how costly armor can be, and how weapons cannot be seen in towns, it's just another good way for players to show off their wealth. This can be good or bad, but, hey, variety!

Also, though there's no real lore explanation, we need height changing. I'm starting to regret making my assassin so small...
