I think the Marapet avatars should come in all shapes and sizes. Frankly not everyone has the stick thin body that the Marapet avatars advocates. I think that by allowing only one body type as your avatar sends a message to Marapet players who don't have that specific body type. Especially the younger ones. Body image, and the presumption that skinny is ideal is illogical to the people with regular un-model like bodies. I find that by letting players choose the body they prefer when creating their avatar would be beneficial. They will be able to choose what they want, they can choose skinny, or curvy, pear shaped, ect.

Just a mini-rant. It was kind of bothering me Smile I wouldn't mind an avatar that was similar to my own body type ^_^

I don't think they're that skinny but I agree with the point you're making. The problem with this idea is that with different body types, the clothes won't fit anymore. Unless they do a version of all the clothes for all the body types which I don't think will happen considering how much clothes we have.

me to, it's a nice distraction. And it actually teaches some things if you think about it...like money management...and buying and selling, you know, real world skills lol

Yes I think so too
Staff is working hard, so us players need to keep showing our support.
Marapets helps me unwind so it's a win-win~

yeah I remember those days. ^_^ And everyday more and more came. It all just fizzled out in the last year or so when there were less and less updates. But it seems like Staff is back on track so who knows, maybe it will start up again.

Yeah, it was quite the rage a couple of years back, when there was more then 1000+ people online.

It's definitely a cool idea. Who knows maybe they will if the site starts growing like crazy again.

that's true it would probably take way to much time. Maybe when Marapet's has more profit they can expand the avatars in all different kinds of things.
maybe an account upgrade dedicated to the "new bodies", so they'd make an actual profit, make them look super cool, set up new stores, that sells the clothes for the particular body type (it would be like real life), in Lush Lake, give it a quirky name, also restock it every five minutes with new items (gotta make the restockers happy).

ah, well it's just my idea, I really thing this site has loads of potential!

I understand though. I am not even close to the 'mara-ideal'. lol
