Also agreed - no name change. Friends lists, posting history, etc. would all become a mess. And clearly those who have gotten a bad rep would get a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Picture yes, name no

I would expect that they would have to be approved before being live because of the great potential of incredible abuse and offense. And the time to review them all might be more than the current support could do. I'm sure that's part of the problem from their end.Quote:

I'm assuming that we have been talking about the in-game avatars because in the forum you can already have your own.Quote:

i wrote support half a year ago about that no answer
My thoughts exactly. I'm not easily offended by images either but it would make the whole game very messy. I have no desire to see pictures of cars, football team emblems, dogs, cats, women in bikinis, Kim Kardasians backside or whatever else people decide to use. The Settlers is a classy game with some great artwork. I would hate to see it destroyed by tacky avatars that you see in so many other games.Quote:

I'd expect some data for the avatar is stored within the users table although that could just as easily be 1,2,3,4 under the avatar column, other than that I agree, chances are it would cause additional server stress for no real reasonQuote:

Hi!
The good old avatar question. I mean the FAQ entry has been up since the game pretty much launched and we would really like the option to change our avatars. Be it by gems cost or anything, please. You can make it have charges or anything like that too in the shop but please, can we finally have the option to change it?
hugs

Some of us started playing at a time there wasn't much choice.. there's lots more to choose from these days, so yes, I agree with Snugglz, the ability to change would be good. (Even limit it to 1 or maybe 2 max.)
+1 I agree, even if it is just a once off change.

I'm quite happy with mine, so wouldn't change it. But I still agree, people should be able to change it at least once during their time on this game... Maybe a special event or something.

long overdue
People actually look at their avatars? Weird...
yes pls
When i look for a new game i usually have to register in order to see if i am likely to enjoy it or not. Particularly the avatar that is chosen can be changed later. At this stage i am not picky because i do not know if i will play more than one session.
So I think it is likely that when some players register for Settlers they can make a rash decision over their name and even more likely over their choice of avatar. My understanding is that players may change their names in Settlers providing someone has complained or they have some other good reason for the change.
So I really would like players to be able choose another avatar after registration - just the once. Just a standard Settler Avatar already in the mix.
This is not just about wanting a prettier avatar but about the gender chosen at the start. I have known players that love the game, spent money on gems and stop play because they cannot put up with their original choice of avatar. The consequences of choosing a different gender to the one you are most happy with can be huge for the person involved and one that others usually find amusing but then this is why the one that wants to change then leaves the game. I dont want to lose any more great friends in the game BB . I am sure it is in the game design somewhere , I even think it used to pop up as a bug . Edit: This was the bug after disconnect or sometimes as you were playing you would be already logged in and on your isle and this would pop up. It was personalised with your game nick but asking you to choose an avatar. When you did it took you back to level 1 but I do think this shows that you could change after registration the system could be adjusted to allow it.
