skin colors?

[xXEdwinxX]

what ever happened to the different colors of skin that was in CB?
why did they take that off?:confused:

I'd assume it would be the same reason why they took it off of the other games.
It created an extremely huge patch, so they decided to take it off for the sake of the game size.

Wish I still had the post SKING made about it on another thread...Oh well. It's something along those lines.

I would totally hate to see *skin colour options* on this game :(

I played another game for 3 years that gave you a choice of skin colours:

Pale, Tanned and Dark.

Being an Aussie when I made my character I decided I would be a *Bronzed Aussie* and chose the *tanned* skin colour. That simple and innocent choice gave me many many hours of pain ingame. I finally decided to change my skin colour to *pale.

Giving people choices of *skin colour* brings a huge racist aspect to the game. You see my tanned skin meant I was classed as a *dark skinned person and on average I would get called the *N* word at least 20 times a day. None of those people knew me, they just classed me by the colour of my skin.

The only good thing that came out of my initial choice of skin colour, was that I got an insight into the world of bigotry and racism. It showed me *skin colour* is such an important tool for cruelty and meanness to a lot of people. With my pale skin I still get called *noob* etc but it is no longer *you black *n* noob*. Always amuses me how a lvl 40 calls a lvl 141 a noob :P

So I for one sincerely hope that Fiesta do NOT ever give us choices for skin colour.

With this game's community I doubt there would be that many issues if more skin colours were put into place.

Plus Outspark has a Zero Tolerance Policy against Racism, which results in Automatic Bans. No warnings. No Jail-time. Just a flat out termination of the account.

Yes I agree they do, however it is only early stages of the game. As time goes on I am sure things will change just as they did on my previous game.

When I first made my character on my previous game racism was not tolerated. As the years passed and the game owners became more and more involved with the money making than the game play things changed.
