I'm pretty pleased with all of my characters, but this is something that should be in game. There's no reason for it not to be there.

1. It makes everyone happy. There's literally no downside to adding this.
2. It creates a new credit sink, which is vital to the economy of MMOs.

Sometimes just being able to switch up your hair is all it takes to keep you interested in that character, and by extension, the game itself.

I think the omission (or delay) of the feature is so they have something they can charge us real dollars for if/when the game loses the subscription model and goes F2P.

Honestly, that's the only reason I can think of as to why this isn't in the game already.

I cant say I have too many issues with this and there is only one alt that I would change up, but since it was the subject of conversation in general chat today, It has sparked my curiosity, and got me thinking if this is something intended for a future patch?
I fully support this, and just an F.Y.I., there are other MMO's besides wow lol, like City of Heroes & Champions Online, that have "tailors" who you can go to anytime to change the appearance of your character for a fee

Well I think it was a great first step to let us keep the gear we like that looks good (provided it's modifiable of course).

But ya the next step is definitely some appearance customizations.

I'd be happy with a barbershop.
Sometimes, you just pick a haircut without considering all the consequences. Sometimes, you even pick a scar you don't want.

It might be nice to swap up my haircut, but I don't know if I agree with a full blown appearance do-over.

No offense, but that's pretty ignorant.

The only reason it isn't in the game already is because they didn't have the resources to put it in pre-launch. Most MMO's don't have this feature at launch (even though they should). They have no plan to ever go F2P, they've said this over and over.

I did not realize how pale and not-as I imagined to play my pale character turned out to be. I'd also like to make him look older now, since he is almost a Jedi Master!

BioWare, lots of people are looking forward to this feature. We would be so happy to have it.
