Not sure if you all saw this since some were questioning it when it was announced (myself included)


News Update: Avatar Customization December 28 2007

We are so excited about the avatar customization updates hitting the game in February, and from what we've heard so far, you are too! We have noticed that some players are concerned that they will have to create a new Pirate in order to take advantage of these new customization options. However, this is definitely not the case. You will be able to customize your current Pirate with tattoos, scars, jewelry, new clothes, hairstyles, and more. So for anyone who was worried about this, we're hoping this update brings you a sigh of relief!
