I zone with this  human persona tagging along and it when we reappear on the other side my PERSONAE is FEMALE!?? please fix this or I may need therapy! <div></div>

Cool, dont bug it I hope mine does the same, although I don't use my Personae in groups...and cannot solo now...so NM.

<DIV>Zone when wearing cerimonial armor.  When the pet is female, she wears a nice cerimonial dress.  It's kinda like running around with your sister though.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>47 Illusionist/43 Sage - Kithicor</DIV><p>Message Edited by TastesLikeChicken on <span class=date_text>11-11-2005</span> <span class=time_text>03:12 PM</span>

<P>Yeah...I noticed the same thing, but it is even odder.  I changed my Erudite's apperance after turning on the SOGA modeling.  He was so light colored that you could not see his glyphs at all.  So I darkend his skin some to try and bring out some contrasts for his glyphs.  I logged in, and was surprised to see that his skin tones remained basically unchanged.  But oddly enough, my personae had the darker skin I had set for my guy, but he was also shorter, and probably human.  Hard to tell because the hood of his robe covers his face.</P> <P>So I zoned and noticed I was now being followed around by an even shorter female Personae, but she had my lighter skin color.  She was kinda cute, but it kinda wierded me out.  I have always heard a lot of politically-correct talk about getting in touch with your "feminine side," but this was a little too literal for me.</P> <P>Then I found that when ever I zoned or what-have-you, these two versions of my mini-me would take turns showing up.</P> <P>I don't know, maybe in the process of zoning, all of our Personae's are getting lost, and we just get whoseever personae happens to make it out with us :smileyvery-happy:.</P> <p>Message Edited by Sotaudi on <span class=date_text>11-11-2005</span> <span class=time_text>03:29 PM</span>

it would be nice to hear from a dev if this is a bug or a "new feature" thanks <div></div>

<DIV>I was stunned when I logged in and cast my personae only to see she... er HE had a beard!! And White Hair!!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And was probably human while I am a High Elf. I played gain last night and had a Dark Skinned Human Male alongside me, very strange.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also, did anyone's robe change appearance?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My Honorary Robe of Marr is now a textured white robe whereas before is was a royal Blue with black and gold trim robe.</DIV>

I miss the human female.  She was mighty cute!  Especially using Soga models.  I understand the reason to fix but still... <img src="http://www.jaggedpine.net/zephanor/soga_pet1.jpg"> What more could you ask for?  A quiet, faithful, devoted female that followed you at your beck and call, heheh.  But it would be a shocker to zone and find she changed into a DE male!  Youch! You will be missed m'lady. /sniff, sniff <div></div>
