Custom Avatars

[Azroth]

Actually this is true ! Unless made from scratch it would be of some time ,however usually its pic used from the net or somewhere add some font a few graphipc things and presto maybe ten mins tops during coffee break .

What it boils down to is we can't access the devs can and they charge a toll where its fun ?

i have no idea maybe Mods should pay taxes ???

[LordporkyP]

To say the Devs are doing nuff all is a lil far fetched as they do a bit of work at the moment they are trying to combat the lag issue that a lot are crying about. Yes in someways i agree we should be able to upload our own avtars but hey what the heck if you had to work and do something and not get paid would you do it? i think not. So plz take this in concideration.

We would do it for free its no work at all for one of us to sit down and make or upload a image, some are harder to make and take an hr as some images just don’t work out and we need to get creative. Other images take less than 5 mins to make.
Then why the hell don’t ZuLu get on with it then?
Remember the game is nothing more than a simple homepage that just looks like a game
A web server has to publish the images to the page and every time an image comes up that your pc has not saved to the temp file the game freezes for a half a second until the new image has rendered to the screen and saved to the pc temp files. This is not to nice in a chat that stalls 200 or 300 times per hr.
So the reason for the cost is not to buy my lunch but to stop every body having one. This also makes it something quite extraordinary.

Yea this is true all true. As firestorm said way at the begining of the posts its a luxery. There not saying you NEED one its for a bit of fun and also its rare thing to have a costom avatar and it make you speacial. So i can understand why they want you to pay. Although stuff can go only so far ; 50$ is a little much even for a Little bit of fun. I do know that it takes uploading onto the server. So im probably not gonna pay 5000 pearls ill buy LOTS of bbs instead.

i think players that have been playing a year or more should get 1 for free we have been playing your game its about time you repay us

[Captain Atko]

Guys this has been blown out of proportion.
I agree with firestorm that the avatars are just for a little bit of fun and is not a necessity.
I do know many a player that have bought them and are very happy with it, so if you feel you cant afford one then that is your problem but you need to remember the devs are very busy and what you will be paying for with your 5000 pearls is there time which i belive is rightly so. you wouldn't go to an business consultant and expect not to pay if they don't sort out your business problems its the same principle you pay for there time that is all.

Yours

i agree with col on that one having it being free to upload would be better

[rocketer]

I sort of agree but then you have to think about the negatives of that in which if that was the case that you can upload for free then you probly will have some moron upload and perverted picture

[Lord Sift]

i agree with storm on this one....it is a want not a need...the option to turn it off is available....no argument that the price isnt fair...but even thinking about paying 5 euros so you can have a duck on fire as an avatar is crazy on your part....when i find the photo i want i will gladly send 50 in after my wife beats me with a tire iron because IM BROKE and still spending money...why...because like you...i log on every day and i try not to miss skilling up:)...happy sails

[rocketer]

im getting mad now. Now they are taking forever to just resize and upload the damn things. Hells Minion has been waiting a month and a half for his avatar i have been waiting 3 weeks for mine. like devs are being so damn lazy!
