I care about how I look. Obviously not in a real life, because I’ve chosen to be a short, lumpy gnome of questionable heritage, but in MMORPGs. It’s not a wasted evening if I pause my adventures to head back to base camp and whip up a new outfit that requires, at minimum, 45 minutes of color dye selection. I can’t recall ever leaving the City of Heroes character creator because of all of the fine-tuning that looks required.
I am Justin, a soldier in the MMO fashion wars. Just a grunt, really, but willing to put my neck on the line to make our online games look better, one character at a time.
Do you fight in the fashion wars too? Do you find yourself consumed with outfit manipulating, clothing collecting, and dye choices? Have you ever felt devastated when you saw an amazing ensemble that wasn’t on your own character?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
