Gender Changing Potion

My suggestion: A gender changing potion!

Where to buy it: the crown shop in the top left hand corner

Price: 1,000 - 2,500 Crowns ($2 - $5 USD)

Effect: After buying and/or using the potion a screen will pop up allowing you to switch your gender, as well as name, hair color, skin, and hair style.

Why it should be added: After a while you may get bored of seeing the same character everyday. Maybe you accidentally (or purposely) chose the incorrect gender and would like to revert back now. Or maybe you just want to see how it is to use a character of the opposite gender. Whatever the reason I feel it would be a great addition to the crown shop!

My reason for this suggestion: I would most definitely buy it. I don't like using guy characters and am not even sure why I did when I did. I have already spent $70 on this game ($40 on crowns, $20 on membership, and I still have a $10 card I'm saving.) and was quite dissapointed to realise that there wasn't one in the shop. I am only level 28 and haven't been playing very long, but I thought i might as well try to suggest something. I really do hope this becomes a small update, and if you support me please post below!

To FlipFredFredBurger:

You choose to subscribe, buy crowns, or both. You bought the subscription so you do get every area as well as free ranked pvp matches. People who use crowns have to buy every area just to go to them, so why complain? I payed $7 just for my weapon, $10 for my broom, and a few more in areas. After that still bought two months subscription and I'm not complaining. I feel that if they do have to use their time creating this item they should get payed for it as well. I only know of one online game that doesn't charge you real money to change your gender. On the games that do the price is normally around $5 I believe. If you want to complain about purchasing the item, then guess what? Don't buy it. It is as simple as that, sorry.

Oh wow! That's an odd, but kind of neat little fact. I actually had no idea. I looked it up and it said that some are male, others are female, but then there are some that are uni"gendered". Imagine if people really did that lol, that would actually be a bit odd haha. XD

I recommend doing this as a "barber shop" where you can change any of the variables about your Wizard's base appearance for a moderate fee. I would like to change the color of one of my characters hair for instance.

You can't accidentally choose the wrong gender. Even if you press to wrong button its easy to see it's not what you want and you can go back.

Or maybe you just want to see how it is to use a character of the opposite gender. Whatever the reason I feel it would be a great addition to the crown shop!

You can simply just make a new wizard.

Sorry, I just don't think something like that would work.

Keep in mind though... I'm not trying to be rude. I am just giving my oppinion.
I think your idea would be pretty cool though with a slight change. Like maybe instead of changing from boy to girl you just change your looks?

That way you don't get bored of your wizard and it keeps the game friendly for kids. No offence... but the ratings just wouldn't be the same if you could change gender mid-game.

theres also a kind of fish that can change genders to (in real life of course) and when it does it also changes colors.

i agree with you they should only go as far as slighty changing your apperance, like your hair.

No crowns, there is already enough of buying with crowns. It'd be better for 1,500 gold for gender changing potion..

Other Potions:
Face Changing (Eyes,lips, etc) 500 gold
Hair Changing (Color,Style) 1,000 gold

This does have some great potential, but I can easily see some players going a bit.... erm.... "Overboard" With something like that
