...would you?
Why?
Why not?

If CCP made this possible, would you be butt-hurt they were not spending time on pew-pew and spaceships?

Edit: Please note that I am not asking you what you want to be, nor am I looking for in lore justifications, nor am I advocating for such a choice to be made available.

By the way, since we're already talking, do you want to buy a rifter? I've got the cheapest rifters in Metropolis. If you can find a cheaper rifter, buy it!

One month old character. I'm as happy as I ever could be with everything.

I'm surprised that CCP doesn't have an option to change race, gender and bloodline.

I get that we can't change names for in game reputation security reasons but to not be able to change the rest makes no sense. Money is money and more options is only a good thing.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

I can see the backstory allowing for re-sculpting of an avatar(plastic surgery) but how do you account for changing races? Also, why would you want to? There is no advantage to one race or another other than the very minor skills you get to support each races ship and gun types.

Yeah.. I wouldn't give it two thoughts, unless there were some sort of advantage/disadvantage in game.
I made this character back when I was an innocent newbie thinking that race mattered. I wanted to be part of the organized and militaristic caldari! Hah Big smile

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I want to be an obese ,sweaty, covered in grease, grime and veld dust with a filthy rag hanging out of my back pocket that I'm constantly using to wipe my forehead 'cause I'm a hard working miner.

I would change any character I have but dont want to Minmatar.

Just before I biomass them.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

Nope. I like being minmatar, and bloodline matters not.

What I'd really like is a clarification on whether it's legal to bribe a friend to do character creation on alts. I have serious trouble with the incarna system.

You're asking the wrong questions. The proper question is "why shouldn't they be able to?"


I can see many reasons. First that people just plain want to which is reason enough. Maybe they bought a character and want to give it a more familiar identity.

No. Gallente is the choice of the interstellar gentleman, why would I want to change?

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.

Why not?

Only if CCP added "Carebear" as a race, and "Tears" as a bloodline.

Given the amount of butt-hurt on the forums, "santorum" would also be a reasonable bloodline choice.

I couldn't have this face if I were another race.

Race is trivial in Eve meaning you have no advantage choosing one or the other aside from a little bit of sp. So, there's really no point in machinating over the issue of changing race. Would be a completely different story if there were racial training bonuses. Thank god there aren't any. Though, it would be kind of nifty and sad at the same time.

Don't ban me, bro!

Of course not!! I am darn proud of my Amarrian blood, and would never even consider tainting my body with the blood of lesser beings. Gah, the very thought!!

And in the same way those lowly inbred minmatar should never be allowed to even say the word Amarrian.

So if you were given all model sculpting and clothing options you would be fine with race being removed from the game?

By the way, since we're already talking, do you want to buy a rifter? I've got the cheapest rifters in Metropolis. If you can find a cheaper rifter, buy it!
