Inquiring Minds Want To Know About First Impressions

During the last test, while walking thru GF, I came upon a newb who was amazed by my "look" even though they had obviously been to Vanity & Wardrobe since they weren't the default boy with gray & yellow stripes, but perhaps hadn't spent much time there. And it got me to thinking about ALL KINDS of first impressions that newbs will get of our game when it goes live..and not necessarily the most important one, but the most immediate one after the Greeter at Start, being how so many people look exactly like them, while so many are all glam'd up.

So I think this deserves our attention. Have you given it any thought? 
1.) What vanity/outfit will YOU chose to be wearing immediately after reset? 
2.) What first impression are you hoping to achieve thru your look?

And has anyone considered a server wide themed reset, similar to our themed parties, where for the first day only, we all wear hula skirts or teddy bear heads or a free item like Hawaiian shirts or whatever...  :)  *thinking we could have fun with go live if we coordinate* Clothing is just a commonality & easy idea, there are definitely others....  

3.) What are your fun reset ideas?

  • I kind of want the one I have now... fashion-conscious boy from 5th & Park in New York with a twist of hipster.

    If they made a gay pride outfit I'd probably wear that, too, though. These are things I wear IRL and I want my character to do the same, lmao.

    Also, a THIS IS WHAT A FEMINIST LOOKS LIKE t-shirt would be amazing.

    As for parties, people have been talking about actual IRL launch parties. Speaking of which... where the hell did That Kid Tyler go?

  • That would be so funny if we all wore some version of the sushi outfits* the first 48 hours.  New players would have no trouble finding people to ask questions of.

    off to look for free outfits so everyone can play

  • Well...my look is "whateva"..some days jammies and bunny slippers, some days coconut bra and a tutu, some days a demure polkadot dress...but I never quite am able to go with Rascals nudity thing...I am much to old to expose my multiple layers of wrinkes.  Now when ironing skin becomes a skill or something I could purchase at a vender, I might change my mind...OOH, new idea for vender...cosmetology vender.  :)

  • oh yeah... I should probably think of wardrobe for the game as well....

    speaking of Tyler, I saw someone by the name of "That Kid" in another game. might be him. I'll ask next time I see him on.

  • OMG...if I went neked in rl it would make the national news....Thousands faint at sight of old lady naked in bunny slippers (that part is from Glitch)...MMO is to blame for encouraging old ladies to go naked...Stoot is quoted as "it was a game..not meant to move off the internet..and no, I will not comment on nono".

  • I am constantly changing my look. I love the variety......One day I'm gonna be daring enough to run around nekkid, wrinkles and all or at least do the RM thing. Back to topic, I think the diversity of looks would dazzle and excite newbies. It would make it easier for them to identify the more experienced players, imho. The impression I want to give is "Hey! Join the fun---stick with it-- this is a cool game!"

  • I'm all about the goof-ball most days.  Occasionally as in RL I'll but a bit more effort into my appearance!   :-P
    Right now I'm running around in a straight jacket and bunny slippers, my inner crazy needs some release!

  • LOL!  Maybe nekkid with bunny slippers and a hat of choice.  This would let the Newbs know right away how funny this game is.

  • If I'm coming nekkid to the party, I'm only going to wear my wellies.

  • +1 Nekkid with footwear and hats.. So what if we just forgot to put the expected in between items on LOL!

  • Yes, my vote is for naked except for shoes and hats on launch day. That would be most excellent.

    I think Wardrobe ought to include halos or full-body glows. I can't imagine that would be more difficult to code than the more elaborate dresses.

    A subscriber-only thing could be interactive clothing...right now if you click on someone, you get a menu of options to view their profile, kiss them, etc..maybe "spontaneous rainbow" or "play music" or something because the character is wearing a novelty tie.

  • I only have 60 credits and I'm not a subscriber so I can't put together the outfit I want. Only one of my clothes in my Wardrobe isn't free. :\
