So I recently found this

http://www.eve-avatars.com/?

And have been shoving some names of frequent forum warriors in it. Have to say you could have some REALLY ugly or really awesome avatars. Also seems like you had a bit more customization's at your disposal during those times.

Did you old hands have more options for character creation at those times and do you miss them? What would you like back if you could have it?

I joined after the introduction of old avatars, but for some reason they had a more... lively feel to them.

Old eve graphics looking back look more interesting, Its hard to explain

There's more of a variety in facial features now, but a lot less variety in outfits.

The old customization was far more limited when it came to features. IIRC it was just 4 2 dimensional axes that distorted the face, no fine control whatsoever.

And then there were the clothes. Lets just say I am thankful Akirei no longer wears this.

I really liked my old character. I dunno a ton of characters just looked stylized. I kinda tried to make this one like it, but it just isn't the same. http://www.eve-avatars.com/?chainsaw%20plankton

that said my alt looks a lot better, damn male achuras. http://www.eve-avatars.com/?manu%20hermanus

I'll never recognize the new chribba, just looks like some completely normal dude, the old one had character! http://www.eve-avatars.com/?chribba

I loved my old avatar and have never been able to really settle with the new one.
The old ones just had more...personality and seemed more unique in my opinion. Maybe because there where more limited options and people where a lot more creative and did not try to make them... attractive.

You'd look dashing in the old transparent gallente suit.

I never really made any conscious effort to design poor old Kharamete.

He looked down-right ugly with the old style, but then again he was always meant to sit in Jita 4-4 and check prices. Didn't need much in the way of looks. I'm kind of pleased with his current looks. I imagine he's looking up from a table strewn with gold ISKies, annoyed at being interrupted counting them.

in 2007 i've thought it's a sci-fi simulator, not an "e-sports" game. I'm not a teenager, how would i like it much?

The old avatars look terrible, like badly drawn cartoons. Members of a bloodline all look the same. Colours, backgrounds and assets are naive, results are tacky and look horribly dated.

New ones have much more variety, character and staggering amount of realism, and rendered in glorious detail.

Nostalgy etc, but come on :)

Frankly, old me looked terrible and like a certain character, and I must have been doing something right with the 'new' character creator, someone just complimented it!

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

I really miss being able to wear bits of see though plastic on my head and the charcters these days defiantely lack allot of the character and style of the old ones. That being said they are stunning in some cases and i really only ever see my own portrait so its not a huge deal. Here are 3 of mine.

I dont miss my old face one bit, i do however miss my awesome combat body armour thing.

My Jita alt used to look allot better

As did my other random no purpose toon who after the transformation ended up looking an awfull lot like Keanu instead of the scary space badass he once was.
