What's the big deal, you say? They're only pixels. Only pixels?

Well, you're correct. However, I find EVE Online's lack of beards disturbing. I myself wield a mighty beard OOP and desire... No, demand, that more beards are added to the game for player character models. I'm not talking about the generically cut and short variants as seen amongst New Eden.

Who would want their PC to sport an epic viking-esque beard or evil looking long goatee? Something that players can see in the system chat and tell right away that this guy will, in all probability, blow your ship to pieces before ransoming your pod and killing your clone outright anyway. Or perhaps complement the respectable look of an experienced trader grizzled in the ways of interstellar travel... Or add a bit of obnoxious flair to the booster addict trolling in Jita.

In the end, simple idea. I know that there are certainly more important things that need attention to these days, but a bearded man can dream. What says the community?

I was quite shocked to see my beard in the character creator actually looks better than in the captains quarters where it looks more like a mislaid shadow. Beards need love FTW.

more Neck beards would more accurately portray your typical eve player... the women at least

I honestly think PoCo based sov is a good idea https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1417544

For CCP, a company from Iceland of all places, not to implement proper levels of beard power is just appalling. For the balance of the game, this issue must be addressed.

Good luck, they've been resisting beards for a long time.

I believe I would look fantastic with a beard, supported.

Agreed. Beards (longer ones) could even have movement like long hair does when your avatar moves their head. I want to have braids and plats in my beard too!

If enough players support it, way more than the previous attempt, I think we'd have a good chance of at least being heard. Wouldn't you say?
