I would almost have to assume it can be disabled by the server similar to how they can disable the use of the cartography system and the dye system. It cannot be entirely client-side else nobody else would see the changed face. At some point the client has to tell the server which face is being picked and the server sets it in the character database.

Is it possible to stop that from happening? Sure. Is it worth spending time on when there are almost always more important things that need fixing? Not imo.

you're probably right now that I think about it. if anything the devs could just trap all incoming face change requests and ignore them

Let's not downplay the importance of immersion in a video game. This is what Everquest was always the best at.

Does this actually work for anyone who is not the client?

I feel like I tried to change my characters face from non-mustache to mustache and my groupmates said they weren't seeing it change, though I could see it on my screen.

Have to relog/zone for other people to see the changes.

Sweet! I have a new warrior and realized I totally hate his face, but didn't think I could change it!

pretty sure it was luclin. I assume the developers haven't made this change because it's something they'd have to screw with in the client?

The ability to change faces came with Luclin and the new character models. The option was there because some of the Luclin faces were just hideous and if you changed the Luclin face model the corresponding classic face changed as well. You also had a lot more options with Luclin models, sideburns, eye color, hair, hair color, etc.

The faces aren't that materially different. And if someone decides they want facial hair, could a character not let it grow or shave? Could they not dye their hair if they wanted a different color? I've got a photo album full of Halloween pictures that proves that I can look any way I wish. Why shouldn't my character be afforded the same ability?

I am opposed to locking the faces.

face changing demons. ho ho, young face off brought a small chuckle forth.

[Amelinda]

luclin models brought this ability.
