I would like to see cosmetics for female characters that do not look like bikinis and booty shorts.
My characters are warriors who fight dangerous and bloody battles. Their armor should reflect such. Armor that leaves their entire chest, abdomen, and other parts, completely exposed, would just get them killed. I am currently stuck trying to find drop sets that actually cover my characters, and then having to convert them to costumes.
I looked through the store costume sets. Not a single one fully covers their chest, abdomen, and/or crotch. The shadow whisperer set comes close, but even on that one, the legs are just under ware with stockings attached at the sides. The whole inner thigh is exposed. The enemy would just send an arrow to my unprotected heart, and slice the main artery in my thigh, and I would be done. Not to mention how uncomfortable riding a dragon would be with all that exposed skin. Sitting on leather with bear skin, no thank you.
New cosmetics are something we are going to do, but it requires a working model exporter. We are probably just going to write our own for Blender, so that we can ditch 3DSM as working with proprietary plugin architecture that has changed drastically since this game was originally developed is a nightmare.
We probably won't do design contests, because it exempts more players; it is why we did color contests vs art contests (though we've not done one again due to problems with certain individuals).
