Hello everybody!
I was thinking about something GW2 doesn’t have and it’s race and name change.
I am thinking that you could simply pay an amount of gems and redo your hero from scratch but ofcourse your lvl and proffession will stay the same.
It would work like the ‘’Total Make-Over kit’’ and it would be really nice to change you tiny asura or giant nord into something more fitting for your gamestyle.
Since you are changing race your skillpoints would be resetted but not your traits since that will give you a to much of advantage in gold.
To be more precisly it would be creating a new hero with height and facial hair and all that, but now you will start at your current lvl and have the same gear same proffession skill but a different name.
I hope you enjoy my idea and please give me feedback so we can disscuss this topic.
I’m sorry for my bad english, greetings from Sweden!

About the 20 millionth topic on this my friend. Race change is unlikely to ever happen. Never say never, but it’s highly unlikely it’ll be anytime soon. There is name change available however.

Well it is a shame, just thought it could renew the ’’bond’’ between the player and his/her hero/heroine and make them play more.
But as you say it is very unlikely it would happen..

Race change couldn’t possibly work because of the personal story…

You never know. If they have a system that translates the personal story choices to data, its possible. If x personal story choice in the human story relates to choice y in the charr story, etc.

But I do agree its unlikely and will probably not happen any time soon if at all.

Race change could work if it would reset your personal story.

One problem is with people who bought cultural armor, do the story line and then get a race change. The race change would not only have to reset in some manner not only all of your personal story but the cultural armor as well. The storyline branches, how would it reset all that? Would the player need to select each branch of his new personal story? What if he did Order of Whispers and bought armor and weapons there and then choose Priory for his new storyline, does he get new armor and weapons? It may be too much of a programming problem to do all that.
