    Options are always a good thing...so as many customization options available without causing delays would be my hope.
    And keep adding options, to many games stop adding customization options after launch. but after a year in the game everything starts to bore even the way your character looks.

    new options every 3 months, 


    Just have a character remodeling mirror, no need to have an option every 3 months. Eve Online have this option. 
    I disagree, even if you add a mirror, you'll still get bored of the options presented to you in a year or 2 years time.

    It might not be relevant to your playstyle, but there are alot of people who enjoy recreating their character and a continuesly updated character creation would help with their gameplay experience.

     
    you mortals and your good looks, it whats inside you that counts. BONES!!!! ^^
    Crawl back into your coffin, you old sack of bones 😝
    Then you can dive back into the Ocean that spawned you  ;)

    Or crawl back under that rock you live under.

    I hope they add a style salon or somthing to that nature as well. It would be nice to change my hairstyles n makeup when ever i wanted. Like not remake the whole character but just with the options to change hairstyles for free ingame.

  • I think having a barber would be a good start. Allow players to use dye to dye their hair. Maybe add a tattoo artist if they add those. Even a make up artist... The more in-game options there are, the more immersive and rewarding the game is.

    Now for the cash shop: Adding reroll/remodel tickets for like 5 or 10 would be great. Adding new hairstyles for 1 or 2 bucks would be great. Allow these to be unlocked for the hair stylists. Add dyes (exclusive optional) that could also be used for dyeing the hair (other than just armor). To entice rerolls you could add more face models/ scars/ whatever.

    In my opinion, if you add a ton of stuff regularly and add it for cheap, it will sell. Don't do what other companies do and get the highest price point by selling it high without pissing off too many people. I would love to buy a bunch of cool stuff for 1/5/10 (depending on the type (costume, pet, mount, dye, whatever) but would rarely buy awesome stuff for 20-50. 
  • The EQ2 Barber lets you change everything on your character except the race and sex.  So you really get an extensive change if you want.  I mostly use it to change hair and wing colors on my fae.
