Is aging ever going to be implemented? What about change in body weight or looks? Are we ever going to get taller?

I think your character ages at the same rate you do in real life. Otherwise we'd have people dying of old age, and I don't think you can come back from that.

Well ancient is the farthest you can go, right? Why not stop aging when you're ancient?

But I still think Change in body weight and looks would be cool

Then we'd all end up a bunch of ancient people, and have awkward silence whenever people ask why we never die.

How fast did you wish to have your character age(5x irl? 10x?)? What are the age ranges currently(youthful is from where to where? How old is 'mature'?)?

I like to thing that it's more a description of how old the character -looks-, not how old they actually are. You can look 'young' and actually be older, or you can look 'mature' but be more young.

Take me (IRL) for instance. I have a total baby face, so that when I'm clean-shaven I look 'young' When I grow out my beard I look 'older'.

Well, I was thinking more of realistic. Like, you grow taller a tiny bit every year.

I can imagine that this might not be easy to code, but I would *love* to see body changes after a while or the chance to change how your hair looks.

I've always thought some kind of mechanic/NPC to change your hair would be cool.

Like dying or cutting your hair.

Also, growing beards and mustaches for guys?

(Your hair would grow as well)

Having to shave as an elf in DR was never cool. Grumble.
