As I said previously, I meant no disrespect. It was just a suggestion.

I just want to say I did not mean any offence to the staff of fRO. >.< I'm not suggesting in any way that I'm dissatisfied with the work that has been put in to more important things, like bug fixes etc. I really appreciate all of the hard work that has and is being put in. I just didn't think it was difficult to implement such an option, so I saw no harm in making my suggestion. Perhaps the ability to interchange between the sprites would be going too far - I'm ignorant of the inner workings of RO. But as someone mentioned, an alternative job class could technically be possible? I'm not saying that the staff work endless hours to fulfil this at all. Everyone thanks you for the huge amount of labour already done to improve the server. If it is too difficult, then I'm sure everyone can appreciate that. =]

Oh, okay. Why is that exactly? With my limited knowledge of the fundamentals of RO, I don't see the difference between changing sprites and changing the cloth colours. Why can it not work the same? Or in some other method, perhaps through the Control Panel.

Yes, exactly what I meant! I found it difficult to put it into words, but relating it to the Stylist NPC works well. Veggi&Mac's solution works, but it really isn't quite the same as what I personally would prefer. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. It is too one-sided for someone just to choose how they see all sprites, because I doubt everyone would want to represent their own characters as whatever preference the other user chose. For example, if I was to be on my Sin X, I wouldn't really want other people to see it in the Third Job version - I'm alot fonder of the regular Transcendent sprite. My Gypsy, I would probably want to keep switching between the two - I really like both.

My suggestion is... Instead of the new optional patch, which makes all sprites into the Third Class, perhaps it could be made more optional than that. In the sense that a player has the option to make a single character into Third Class, and which all other players can see too. Perhaps this can be done through an NPC? I personally don't like the fact that the new patch is so one-sided. Would it not be better for a player to choose between two different sprites, for each of their characters? This would be a decision that everyone can see, and provides more variety within the server and individual expression. If my explanation isn't clear, please let me know and I'll try to place it in better words. =]
