Will I Be Able To Be Black?
« on: August 31, 2010, 03:50:30 PM »
I honestly couldn't think of another name for this thread. I apologise.

I was just wondering - with the character customisation, will there be different skin tones available?
I'm Caucasian so I have no idea why I'm asking, but I guess a lot of MMOs don't have the option to change skin colour which, in my humble opinion is:
A) Lazy
B) A wee bit racist?

I know that I will make my character look like myself as much as possible, and I know a lot of other people want to also, but if they're black, that's gonna be difficult.



EDIT: I realise that I said it's "a wee bit racist" when it's mainly just laziness, but it can be a little offensive if you don't have your race included in a game.
Which is why I loved WoW, since I am a strange bull-man.

I can't say for sure, but there weren't any 'black' sprites in the prebeta.

You could have posted your thread in the 'Suggestions' area.
No one can go back and change a bad beginning; but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If it cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?

Currently playing Pokemon XY/ORAS/Shuffle and Clash of Clans and testing out PokemonRevolutionOnline and Dragonmon Hunter....

That's a good point, and well made. I think I will. :D
