  1. If ArenaNet wants to continue drawing newcomers in and holding on to long time veterans, personal housing would be a plus. FFXIV has housing, BDO has housing, New World has housing, Elder Scrolls Online, ArcheAge, LotRO, and even Ultima Online had housing...and future competitors will have housing (coughAshesOfCreationcough coughPaliacough). That said, I don't see ANet ever adding in personal housing and if housing is truly important to the player, they can seek that feature in any of the competitors. I'm personally waiting on Ashes of Creation to drop as it seems to have everything ANet is offering and then some so once Verra opens up I won't be calling myself a Tyrian any longer. :classic_laugh: 

    GUILD WARS 1.

    Ah, the best project ever birthed by ArenaNet. Pre-Searing is beautiful and still rather active to this day (though not as active as it was in its early life). I have a Perma-Pre character who still hangs out at the bottom of the stairs doing the swim and shooting the breeze with the other locals. Have a crap ton of birthday minis on that character too.

    For me, it's worth having a Perma-Pre character if for no other reason than the heavy dose of nostalgia that tickles my dopamine receptors. Lol.

  2. Do you feel that crispness in the air? Ah, soon pumpkin spice will rule the lands.

    I'm still team spiced cider though.

     

    Whether you're all about the pumpkin or all about the cider, you'll find your flavor in Above Water. Join us before the holidays hit and be prepared to run amuck when our Mad King makes his entrance into Tyria. We're actively recruiting for Guild Wars 2 and other upcoming MMOs (Ashes of Creation, anyone?). 

    Getting burned out on fighting dragons and slaying the god of War? We get that. Above Water hosts party game nights like Jackbox Party Games and Gartic Phone. Want to simply chill? Hop in comms just to hangout with members and shoot the breeze.

    If you're in the mood for a co-op, Above Water is currently hosting a Project Zomboid server. (Co-op servers change every 30-90 days to keep it fresh.)

    If you're interested in joining, just pop to our AboveWater.net site and give us a read.

  3. Are you looking for a community that does more outside of just playing Guild Wars 2? Above Water is recruiting!

    We do play Guild Wars 2, but we don't limit ourselves to just the world of Tyria. We're also busy exploring the realms of Elder Scrolls Online, venturing through survival games like Raft/Project Zomboid/V Rising, preparing for Ashes of Creation, and we have a couple of amazing DMs running Pathfinder nights (veteran players & newcomers both welcomed).

    If you want to explore more lives than that of The Commander---join us.

    If you want to be a part of more lives than just your own---join us.

    If you want to be a member in a community---join us.

    To see our latest shenanigans, watch Above Water Plays Raft.

    It is the system that is currently offered, though. Race change has seen no hint of acceptance from Anet, while various tonics have been implemented. Working within the system may be more successful than requesting something doomed to never happen.

    How does asking for a permanent disguise go outside the system though? They already have the ability to flip your character to a randomized version of whichever race fits the gameplay---so one would think that having a customizable, but permanent option would be possible.

    Editing tonics to do the same would also work, but if I'm choosing between a drink or getting hexed by a powerful Mesmer (like our Barefoot Queen), I want that hex. :classic_love:

  6. Sorry to necro a thread, but I've been thinking about this more and I think I've come to a good compromise.

    In the world of Tyria there are missions and fractals that change one's appearance into a different race. Like Urban Battleground Fractal that changes everyone into a Charr or the Thaumanova Reactor Fractal that flips you to an Asuran. There are also storyline quests that will put users in a "disguise" of varying looks. With this in mind, it could be possible to have a "Mesmer Illusion" spell that would change your outward appearance, but all of your storyline would adhere to your original race choice. So, I would continue on my Human Story while looking like a Charr and vice versa.

    Boom! It's lore friendly and solves the problem.

    Also, it can be sold in the BLTC. So, more revenue for those ANet pockets.

    It also let's people do the whole, "My character is a Charr who identifies as a Human" thing and I feel like that's all the rage these days (because they can look like a Charr while doing the Human Story).
