So what do you all think of the new avatars? Why don’t we all post here and let the Dev’s know how we feel? If you love them or if you hate them post your verdict right here. Let’s give them scores out of 10. 1 being the worst thing you ever saw on your monitor and 10 being totally amazing. Here’s my opinion...

When you play an online game one of the most important things is your avatar. It’s how other people in the game see you and choices are very important, leaving the game mechanics aside (that sometimes depict what you wear). Far from being heroic, upstanding warriors they just look plain weird to me. The male avatars look like they have some kind of serious back complaint, or that somebody has just kicked them in the groin. The female avatars are a little better, the pose is more upright but their hair is kind of shaggy and monotone.
The worst thing about the clothes are the parts that will not dye the colour you choose. Why not? Why are we forced to have brown and silver parts to our leather armour? Why have clothes with white parts that you cannot dye and parts you can? I want to be able to choose the colour, not be forced to match it with colours that I cannot change.
I really do not like the new avatars and this is the biggest problem for me. I can live with all the other faults to get those nice macros. Why not make something like Andrea’s Artwork?

Now these avatars would make me want to play UO again! Why can’t we have something like this? These get a 10 in my book -- easy...
