Will There Be Cosmetic Hairs For Sell

Will there be hair cosmetics for sell?

For ex: maplestory (and other games) have TONS of hairs. Some crazy wth? And some that are just popular.
The idea is that if you're to keep people's interest, cosmetic items (preferably not loot boxes) have a high "WOW" cause now your character is "beautiful" in your own eyes and "strong" based on where they're at in the game.

If I wanna cosmetically dress up as a hero then I want to do so, if I wanna look like a villain, then so be it.
Hold contests that give the players a plushy prize, or a gift card, or the option to redeem the "prize" as in game paid currency.

    The idea is to add flavor, not over bearing.

    Something that fits the game but makes you feel like, huh that looks good, I'd like to add it to my options of hairstyle for the day. 🤔

    Or make it so once u get the hair only certain barbers know how to cut that hair, thus making It more marketable as a place?

    Something that let's u make your character good looking by your own means. Or by large public view.

    An idea to make it easier for the DEVs is "here's some of the tools we use. Feel free to make a hair and we'll consider the 1st 50 entries"

    "Every 1 entry (max of 5) that you enter and it wins, will net you 100-500 EM."
    The winner determined by #of likes. Will be getting 1k (?) EM.

    Why? It's hair, you should be able to style it as you please, when you please.

    I want a lot of hair styles but I want all of the hair styles to be in the base game. I'd rather not have hairstyles behind a pay wall.

    I hope not; it should all be in-game obtainable.

    There were some hairstyles that will be exclusive to those who earned them from the APOC battle pass. Along with mount skins, armor skins, weapons skins and emotes.

    The world is beautiful whenever you're here.
    And all the emptiness inside disappears.

    Maybe we let players earn specific hairstyles by scalping pvp kills? That’s cosmetics and gameplay. Hours of entertainment…

    Race specific hairstyles available to all races but being locked into a city/area of said race's culture would be a neat touch.

    yea I hope not but... there were exclusive hairstyles as cosmetics in Apoc so... it is likely, unfortunately

    Those weren't behind a pay wall to my knowledge...

    totally love me some wing cosmetics.
    larger than life (rare legendary?)
    Wings that are wide, but snug to the character model
    baby wings to aid in a cosplay theme you're creating

    idea: make it so if you get a "winged mount" have the option to have a "slow fall" off terrain or mountains. it's a toggle on and toggle off? :flushed:

    enlighten me on your thoughts against cosmetic hairs in shop?
    They don't have to be expensive. If they are we can ask for 20% discounts, or make your own unique hair events so that you can use the hair you made, and can get it for free for being unique.

    Highly doubt all future hairstyles will be obtainable in-game. I think there will be a set of hairstyles available in character creation and new ones being added to character creation once they release expansions. But monthly cosmetics will most likely be behind a paywall and i do not mind that at all. As long as the company is not relying on cosmetic purchases and they come with an affordable price tag. Let Intrepid milk the whales out there!
