New faces or new hairstyles with the hair?

Wizard101 has been out for several years, (about ten years actually.)
I feel like maybe we should have at least new faces when you go to create
your wizard along with new hairstyles.
It'll probably make the game feel more fresh, and slightly more modern. I wouldn't mind if it
took some time! But I feel like this would be a nice little update.

Someone told me it was the opposite lol, I am so confused. Has it been confirmed? I hope we can change the names of our wizards too. I know quite a few people who would be willing to see the name change for an update as well, it would be great for business.

That will most likely come with the barber shop update that is coming soon

I really hope that's the case because I would never start a new character all over again just to have a name that I like, but I'd be down to pay Crowns for a name change. I hope it won't be too expensive though lol.

And never mind, it has been confirmed on KI Live. I'm a bit late since I've been too busy pet training lol. Can't wait for the update!

Well, Dworgyn did say it wasn't a Salon ( but I don't know what else to call it ) He was sent into the server where the developers were designing a Magic Mirror and the player will be able to change hair style, color, expressions, eye color and skin tone ( and one more mysterious thing ).

All of this sounds really amazing! I have only recently got back into Wizard101 after two years...I've been playing this game for like seven years now and I assumed that maybe it was just time for new faces and hairstyles, lol.

Face shape or body type would be nice to change.

Thank you to Dworgyn for sharing the hints and for anecorbie for posting it here. I hadn't heard about this confirmation yet.

Great news.

I hope there will be a color wheel but am happy for any updates.

Lol now I'm a bit scared of hoping for too much because if the last icon is not a name change feature, I'm just going to discourage myself in the end. Hope they will consider it though in the future, tons of people will like the idea!

But just so that people don't abuse the name change if it were to be added in the update (otherwise there'd most likely be lots of trolling and confusion happening), we should only be allowed to change it twice or have an unlimited name change but every time you do change your name, the cost increases?

They should also give us some new first names and last names too, so we have plenty of new options to choose from. I see tons of people with similar names almost everywhere and everyday, so it'd be great to see more variety and diversity. I have a friend who regrets naming his character Patrick Star and there's a bunch of Patrick Stars in the game lol.

If your name is Luke Skywalker or Taylor Swift, raise your hand! Now, wouldn't you like to change that to something original for once?

Adding to the name change ideas, maybe there should be a box on our character profile which allows others to view our original name for a week or two so that we don't have to tell every single one of our friends who we are, they could just see it for themselves? And once that one week ends, it disappears. It's just a little idea for a way to give others some time to remember our previous names to prevent trolling and mass confusion. But our friends will probably recognize us from our stitch anyway lol, though if we do drastically change our appearance as well, that would be a huge issue.

Do people click to 'inspect' that often? I know I don't.

Maybe the old name in parentheses or hover text below the new one for a while?
But as you said, if they know you well they will recognize you other ways.
If I don't remember someone it won't matter what their name is, or what they're wearing.

I am super excited for the magic mirror though i hope they find a better way to display the faces because all I can think of is that scene from doctor who with Cassandra, like I'm just gonna go to that page and the mirror will say something about needing to moisturize my skin. Its so uncomfortable...

Lol, I was laughing while Dworgyn was comparing the ( admitablly ) ghostly faces on the walls to the Haunted Mansion in Disney World. Wouldn't it be cool if you could interact with them or have some sing like the Barber Shop quartet?

It was bad enough that I cackled when they revealed the faces on KI Live. My stomach will probably hurt from all the laughter if that were to be added into the game. Now I kinda want them to sing lol!

Hi fellow wizards!!
The new update is amazing so far, my oooonly issue is why the HECK can’t I 1. Take photos with the new lady bug quest and 2. I cannot see any hair colors from the magic mirror shop. The verdict? I have a MacBook and it’s “incompatible?” Ouch. Cmon KI ☹️
