Closed Dark Skintone Options for Elves!
and 20 others.

I don't even know why Nexon didn't give us this yet (they already gave us black hair too)
P.S before this gets derailed by some "lore" BS, i am pretty sure that is definitely NOT the reason why Nexon didn't give us this yet.
Been waiting 8 years for DevCat to finally give us the dark skintones... I'm not going to just give up. They gave us black hair and having black hair were against Mabinogi lore because elves having them were considered as the omen... so where's the outrage by then?! LMAO
Pretty much, one guy who was against this idea kept on insisting that elves having dark skintones goes against the Mabinogi lore and refuses to provide any source... which is why I added a 'note' in my original post asking to provide an in-game screenshot where it was stated if people are going to be against that idea because of 'lore'.
Ah yeah, I remember that part because I did it back in 2009... G7 also explained a bit about the lore relating to the elves but I only remember black/dark hair being mentioned to be part of the omen for elves yet we got the black hair option... nothing about tan/dark skintones.
Haha maybe! I remember the SpongeBob meme you shared. :^) But I'd like to actually have that brown-grayish skintone humans/giants have and I know some elves would like to be actually tan/dark though.
This game is dying b/c its developers don't seem to give 2 <Text removed> about their player base and what they really want. and instead are focusing on carnival style goofy events and RNG events. thats only cool for like a day or so then it gets boring. what happened to the fantasy life thing this game promoted? apparently went down the toilet. i can get more of a fantasy life out of Aion or WoW or Dota2 or Tera or Guild Wars or ESO or even LoL. all of which have better customization than you nexon. get with the game or get left behind. all we want is just a few stinkin' skin colors that be programmed into the game in an afternoon coffee break! Don't believe me its that easy? I mod games for fun and i can tell you unlocking some options in a menu and changing textures/colors around is what first time baby-skill modders do, so even a 3 year old could do it in 2 hours no problem. I mean come on!
Yes this is pretty ranty, but I've been a member since 2011! 6 years and you still can't even do what other MMOs can do for customization or when MMOs with crappy character customization can do. like, it's bad when DCUO has better customization than you, and they use unreal tournament 4 for their engine and only have 6 or so color options FOR YOUR WHOLE CHARACTER in the ENTIRE GAME, but they let you pick them as whatever you want to be using hexacode coloring, same thing you do actually. so why can't you give us this tiny little thing considering they are preset colors hmm?
P.S. I'm not apologizing for the rant and this will be my only post on this topic.
Yeah well,
Some people believe elves are supposed to be some white/blond haired creatures even though that's not even MABINOGI's lore.
Yup! Most of us have been trying to push this for several years now and we are not going to stop til we actually get what we want. I'm pretty sure this just require some simple coding to add in the rest of skintones so I'm not sure why this is taking too long.
And I noticed two people voted for no (at this time) on elves getting dark skintones... obviously I had to add in "No" to avoid making it biased obviously but I am rather curious on why they voted no because there's not really any reasons to say no to elves getting dark skintones, to be honest... lol.
Oh boy, someone who actually don't know something about Mabinogi lore! Please read my original post more carefully and ACTUALLY provide a proof where it was stated that elves are not supposed to have dark skintones? I'll also quote what someone said in another thread.
In Mabinogi, there are no such thing as High Elves and Dark Elves. The lore is much much different than... err... the Elder Scrolls. Mabinogi is not some messed up cross-over between World of Warcraft and the Elder Scrolls.
This discussion is about the skin tone of the elves, which had no connotation with any piece of Mabinogi lore and why it is so limited. The lore only suggests that black haired elves to be an omen of disaster. Ever since certain updates, black haired elves are no longer a thought in elven society and added the option to character creation. This discussion is about the skin tone of the elves, which is never mentioned in any piece of lore.
The races aren't the same as each other and I am pretty sure there are more obvious features that differentiate humans, elves and giants than skin tone. Do you seriously are unable to differentiate the three races because of skin tone?
