When I played my first MUD, I really wanted to be a forest warrior, like a ranger from D&D. Their classes didn't provide the right mix of nature and combat, and Lusternia gave me pretty much exactly what I wanted.
These things only cost 50 dingbats. If you're spending money on an RP device AND you're worried about that one person who would look at your description and cry foul, I fully expect you to shell out another 50 credits to customize the hat into somet…
You failed to understand the "customize the hat" part. Lots of people wear hats. Change the look of the hat to fit your RP, and they'll never know you're a liar.

Yes, I got that. I disagree with it. The hats are simple devices to allow RP of a different race. If you want to hide your "fake" race, at least pay to customize the hat.
The "old man" part seems aimed directly at me, and I barely even play now, so whatever is still there has very little to do with me. The majority of my own "dissatisfaction" has to do with the pointless, disparaging remarks like this. However, YMMV.
