Lore:
“One day after an small earthquake, when a researcher from the Asuran Dynamics college was going to his laboratory that was in the affected area, he noticed that the frogs he was experimentating with weren’t there anymore, instead, in the same cage, there was some strange rats, some of them didn’t even had teeth, and some with frog legs and tongue. By analizing the chemicals that could have spitted in them with the accident, he remade the experience several times untill making the last test on himself, and becoming, after moments of true pain, a Sylvari. Now, after thousand of tests and experiences, he learned how to control the mutational subject “X”, and he sells for the Black Lion Company the rights of selling his “Unstable Elixir” that can guarantee your race change, and it comes togheter with a verifyed and authenticated “Personality Confirming Document” so that people could show their superiors to prove that they are the same person that just choosed to live with a different look."
Price: 800~1200 gems
Function: change ONLY the esthetic race of your character, all skills, dyes, story, levels, craftings, fractals, etc, REMAINS THE SAME, once the character is the same person and have the same beliefs and personal experiences.
For the storyline quest: when the player use this item (that would function just as a total makeover kit), you can add a new immediate history quest that the players just needs to go to lionarch and report himselfs to the coordination of the Black Lion Company (new or rerolled NPC, really easy to do), to atualize his documents in order to prove he is the same person, and so the player can go back completing the rest of his history quests.
For the cultural armor: is easy to set a check in the invetary and the bank in order to see if the player holds any cultural armor soulbound to his character, if he does, don’t let he uses the Unstable Elixir until he get all them gone (trought crafting, mystic forge, or anything else), and the problem with this is easily solved.
To people: please, comment things that could go wrong with the stuff I just invented so we can work togheter as community to solve all problems and concerns about this item idea.
To developers: take this solution for the lore/programming part of the race change option and please think about letting this happen soon, or just say something here that is new. Please, no one thinks that rerolling the same class is fun.
Thank you all, sorry for any grammar mistakes.
