My kingdom for a beard!

Here's the deal, chaps: You are making an MMO based on Pathfinder; that means you already have stolen some years from my life to be charged once you release.

Be that as it may: BEARDS.

I've played more MMOs than for decency's sake I dare admit, and in almost all of them I encounter the same gut-wrenching issue: Bears that look more like overgrown mutton chops than actual beards. And even in those few games where you get actual beards (such as WoW, WAR, LotRO or Darkfall), it is usually restricted to dwarfs.

Now, I understand that dwarfs are indeed the best of races and thus deserving of the finest of beards. But we all like to play Elmin-gandalf-tilus once in a while, and that just doesn't work with a proper beard on humans. Elves, pff; no beards for them. We don't want them getting tangled on their dandy harps.

So my request, from the bottom of my chin, is to please put an eye out for a dignifying beard selection in character customization, one that makes our XIX century ancestors proud.

More importantly, will dwarven females get braided beards

Beard-love is an affliction that is difficult to admit, but once you embrace it, it only serves to strengthen your love of facial hair. Elves are not entitled to beards, their love of all things feminine means that anything more than a misplaced whisker would mean they are not pure of blood. Dwarves deserve the best of beards and the roundest of guts, a dwarf with neither is merely an ugly Gnome or Halfling. Humans also should be able to sport a good healthy beard and if their heart is set on it, should be capable of showing the dwarves that they too can plait and braid their beards like the best. In conclusion I totally support Klaus van der Kroft in his quest for beards. There should be more full beards available than side-burns, goat-tee's and fu-man-chu's beards that make a Dwarf woman blush and put a tear in Chuck Norris' eye.


I used to want awesome beards in MMOs like you... Then I took an arrow to the chin.


Lord Pretty Beard demands pretty beards!

And you don't want to argue with a god do you?

We could make a bundle and offer both our kingdoms for some really awesome beards.


An important point. Beard and moustache combos are great, and a must, but at the same time we need some truly magnificent, stand-alone moustaches. Teddy Roosevelt quality or better please.
