Michael Jackson did it, but I woldn't suggest you do the same.

There's also that guy who shaped his face to look like a cat. But that was even worse.

Realistically, could SE offer a fee through the playonline website that would allow you to change races like they do in FFXIV?

Or is the game simply too old for such a service?

They could, but it's highly unlikely we'll see that happen at this point in the game's lifespan. Dressup addon is the way to go right now.

They could and they should. It might seem silly but, if I could change Kojo into a new character; new name, new gender, new race, etc. and not lose all progress I left, I would probably play again.

Indeed. I'd pay for a server transfer and a race/gender/name change. In this case going from Hume male to Hume female.

Oh don't get me wrong, I absolutely think they should and would love if they did. I've made do with plasticsurgeon/dressup for a long time. It's probably one of the most requested features of the past five or so years too.

I thought at one point when asked about this they said that they could not, as they would have to make a whole new interface for it in the first place. With the game being low budget now, i highly doubt they will do it.

I don't want to change races. I just want to change my hairstyle because no one told me the hume with BROWN hair on the creation screen would be a *** ginger.
Souleater doesn't work for you.

They should do this. And no they wouldn't need a whole new interface for it. They could send you to the character creation screen then save your choices behind the scenes and update their database uses those choices. It would be a great addition and would make them money you'd be surprised how many people would continually do this

Nice necro.

One of a million ways they've left money on the table with this game.

If you care a lot, there's plugins and 3PP you can utilize to accomplish this.
