Question:	For quite sometime now I have been fascinated with the idea of physical changes, as the player’s alter ego plays the game. Any possibilities of seeing characters’ bodies undergo any changes while playing? Examples include: A quest that might improve a player’s ability in a certain attribute, perhaps making the character’s eyes glow? Or perhaps even change the skin to a different color, or texture? Perhaps maybe even a temporary change for a certain amount of time after a quest or item has been obtained… maybe a werewolf type change, or even temporarily into a shadow? Maybe a tattoo or scar that might become available after attaining a certain item or ability? The ability to dye the characters hair? Perhaps a special particle animation for the players that have the highest abilities or attributes in the game… much like the effect that the different rings have, but more subtle and on constantly. The possibilities are almost endless, could any of these examples in any way or form happen?
