Well, I don't feel like players should be allowed to just transfer all those things meant to be earned, onto another race. The things you listed should be something you need to achieve through effort. It's like saying "One of my characters has r1 all skills, so all of my characters deserve to skip to r1 in everything". Only those who put in the effort for each race deserve to have an end-game character of each race. Being able to freely change between races is, as you've put it, 'spitting in the face' of those who actually took the time to train multiple characters.

Not really. If you do a race change on one character--say, Human to Elf--that you've played for years and maxed out, you still had to work long and hard to get that character as strong as they are. Is it really cheating to do a race change and get Falcon in exchange for Paladin, but totally lose dual wielding and Final Hit and all the stats associated with those skills as well as having your character's stats change to reflect the amount of stat points and bonuses given for the Elf versions of those skills? No way. It's a fair trade-off, especially if the player still has to grind the race-exclusive abilities for their transformed character.

I'm personally training up multiple characters of each race, and I really don't see a race change feature as spitting in my face at all--and it's definitely not like the example you put forth about the r1 characters. The analogy doesn't work because you are comparing simply shifting an already trained character from one race to another to demanding a max level boost for all of your alts if you get just one character maxed out. Those are two entirely separate concepts, my friend. A more accurate comparison would be someone saying that they should be able to change their fully upgraded Gladius into a fully upgraded Trinity Staff. There would be changes to what can and can't be done after the change and some adjustments would have to be made (getting a more fitting reforge, for example), but at the end of the day you're trading the advantages and disadvantages of one thing for another. Nothing more, nothing less. The people who took the time to fully upgrade both a Gladius and a Trinity Staff don't lose anything from someone else being able to transform their weapon. In fact, it's the person making the swap who's taking the risk.

Honestly, I think it's a good idea for people who just play one main character. Me? I have a bunch of alts for playing different races and skill/stat configurations. But, if someone just has a main that they want to spice things up with, race change would be a fun system for them. Maybe make the race change card/potion something like $5-$10 in the cash shop and give the player the Premium Newbie Wear of the race and gender they're switching to or some other special outfit or goodie (like a non-tradeable 30-day wardrobe key or non-tradeable skill reset capsule) when they use it. Nothing too powerful or anything, just a nice little trinket to celebrate their fresh start.

oh well I hope it's fixed before 6pm PDT.

Yeah. It would be a shame if we couldn't do the 4th if July event on the actual day.

...Or, worse, everyone on the Mabi team over at Nexon not being able to enjoy their 4th because of this mess! I mean, having the day off but not being able to play is one thing, but having to troubleshoot a no-doubt headache-inducing problem all through the holiday is a whole different can of cherry bombs!
