  1. Kingsisle is it possible for you guys to create a shop were wizards can change their name,hair and face? Like how it,is In the beginning of the game. I think it would be really popular because so many people have been saying the same thing. I guess when I first made my character I didn't really care what he look liked but now his face and name is starting to annoy me and I really don't want to start over because of this. It's sorta sad how our pets can have a name change but we can't and I feel like the face and hair change would help not just me but other wizards as well. If this shop was to be made the shop owner should be a moon surgeon or teacher since the moon school is mainly focused on shape shifting.

I totally agree with you. But how will our friends recognize us if we changed our name, face,and hair.

Good question I had another idea when it came to that. In our spell book, you would have a message/update section that keeps you updated with your friends for example, if your friend made it to lvl 20 you would have a message saying that, example: "lily goldstar is now lvl 20", and if you got a name and/or face change you would also get a message for that example: "Jordan lifeblood changed his his name to Jack Frost". Or "jordan lifeblood got a face change"

oh ok. one last question, lets say we did not see the message at first, will the message vanish or still stay there?

That would be a good idea. Except for one small thing. For those wizards that power level, in other words, level up really fast, their friends are gonna get spammed with those messages. Besides, wouldn't you recognize your friends with their name highlighted?

I agree with being able to change your features, but disagree with being able to change your name.

If you got a message about your friend leveling up it wouldn't last long, probably for a day or so.
But if you got a message about your friend changing his name or face it would last at least 30 days. Both will be temporarily so it won't accumulate over the years.

I know that could be a bug and a bit annoying if that happens. For that case there would be a mute icon in your settings where you don't won't to see that notification. For example let's say your friend leveled up every two hours (if that's possible) and you start to get annoyed, you could go to your settings and press the mute icon that will stop sending you friend leveling up notifications. If you didn't want any nonifactins or messages talking about your friends and their updates there will be a mute icon for that as well.

Appearance I don't see any issues with being changeable, I don't think names should be allowed to be changed though. This is a family game with a lot of children playing. Name changes just opens up a can of worms not only for keeping track of friends but also for keeping away from certain people.
