Character costume contest?

I think a character costume contest would be awesome. I am sure this has happened before, but I think another one should be held. I think it would be fun for all those who have worked on the aggs for their gear. I wasn't here for the last one (if there was one) so im sure many others weren't here either. Just an idea to think about for yall GM's. (Think about how much money you can make with aggregators) HAHAHA

There was one within the first year of Open Beta (the results can still be found somewhere around the site), but I think it would be a lovely idea ^^

I agree. While I know I wouldn't win (still finding the right stuff), it would still be fun to enter and see how creative people can get. I mean, who doesn't like looking at beautiful armor? :P

Edit: Here's the original contest: http://us.runesofmagic.com/us/gallery,li…_challenge.html

I would have, but I thought you were too busy beta-testing. :P But I'll be on! ^^ And yes, your gear is amazing.

I need to get to 55 so I can start agging and coloring my gear without having worry about outgrowing it in a week. :P

How about having a design your own costume contest. :D

The costumes in the item shop are obviously geared towards men playing female toons. Not only are the female costumes ridiculously ugly they are borderline pornographic. :mad:

I think its time to have some consideration for all the women that play this game, dress the male characters in a g-string and tassels and see how they like it :p

I partially agree with you, but I'll only say this: If you don't like the CS costumes, don't buy them. I've only seen a few characters with the "bad" CS gear on (like that Angel's Dream Coat), and I usually just ignore it when I see it. Now, I said that for the sole reason that I'm tired of arguing about it and I don't want this thread to turn into an all-out war. :)

On another note, I've thought about just starting a character costume contest, but I don't know if I'd be able to keep up with it. But something to think about...

Not ALL of the female costumes are bad. But they do it on purpose though, to distnguish between one person or another. Alot of the endgame sets are not like what you say, for example, the atrocity or the strange bug on females are just that. Female costumes.

Out of maybe 20 costume pieces or gear, 2-3 will be revealing.

That's what I meant (or at least...I thought I said that O.o). Personally, I like many of the female CS costumes, and like you said, sharing, only a few are revealing. And the ones that are revealing (like Angel's Dream Coat) I usually ignore.

Edit: I just read back over what I wrote in my previous post. /cringe I should probably wake up a bit more before I post. >.> In addition to what I wrote above, I want to say that not all CS costumes are geared towards men playing female characters. Some are, but I know there's women who like the costumes as well. So yeah...

I would feel bad for all of you having to look at my Banana Suit and realize... you cant do better then that. My outfit was courtesy of Ystra Lab bosses =]
(Royal Thread & sparkling cape) granted I had to substitute some pieces because gloves, boots, and shoulders are not on any loot table I know of. and I have killed every boss down there hundred times over looking.

And my silver suit of course! Courtesy of Kalin Shrine bosses, Ensia's Pants, Poems pants, Corona Wings, and Ventis boots, since the boots dont drop either >_>. Not shown: Gloves from Turtle.

neither set was colored (except boots/hands from banana suit. So not my fault however)

Gaze upon my outfit in astonishing awe, as no one can match the awesomeness!

Get the Augury Cloth Boots fomr the Dalanis Vendors for like, 10 mementos. They match the silver outfit perfectly. It's got the exact colour, and with full graphics up, even the same thread design. Trust me on this one.

Sweet! thanks sharinganuser, that solved my clothing crisis! If they color easily, they could match the yellow also. Much appreciated! +1
