The CF Graphic Designer team are working behind the scenes to launch a new CF feature:

The CF Character. ;)

You get to create your own virtual character - choose skin color, hair color, lips etc.

When you get Armor of God items... this character WEARS them!


Armory Info.....FAQ by LibertyChic




What's going on with the armory?
Erwin and the Armory Team are in the midst of revamping the entire armory system. You will have characters that you can now equip with your armor so they wear them.


What's it going to look like?
See preview below.
So where is my stuff?
It's all still there. The armory has been split into three parts. Character, Armor and Specialty Items.


Do I have to buy it all over again?
No. Your items will convert automatically.


How much do characters cost?
Base bodies are 100 blessings. Eyes, eyebrows, lips, etc are 10-15 blessings each. Hair starts at 45 blessings.


I don't like this new system. Can we have the option for it to be like it was before?
No, this will not be an option.


Can I equip items w/o having a character?
You must have a character in order to equip your stuff.


I hate the color of my armor now. Can I get a refund?
You have the option to return any pieces, as always, for a portion of what you paid for it. That has not changed.


Can Women wear the generic clothing or only the women's clothing?
Women will be able to wear generic clothing, but men will not be able to wear women's clothing. Men may purchase women's items and gift them, however.


Will there be a genderless version?
No.


Can guys wear long hair?
Yes.


Does my character have to be human?
Yes


Are there different races available?
Yes


Why do some people have one and I don't? How come I can't get a character yet?
During the beta-testing, those on the armory design team have characters that you can see. This allows everyone to get a sneak-peak at what's coming as well as work out kinks, all while the armory is being converted to the new system.


What's going to happen to all my Specialty Items?
Specialty Items will be converted like everything else.


What about my Bare Feet?
Yes, those too


And my Banner of Love?
Yep....that too


My X-box??
Even your X-box. Everything we can convert will be converted.


Can I equip more than three Specialty Items?
Only three Specialty Items at a time may be equipped.


Is anything going to be deleted?
In the unfortunate event anything needs to be deleted, plenty of notice will be given to allow people to return items. For 1 week after the new system is launched, refunds will be 100% instead of the usual 30% to allow people to return deleted items so they can get their blessings back. Once 1 week has past, the refund amount will return back to 30%.
When is it going to be done?
In approximately 2 to 3 weeks from the time of this posting. We started out with over 1200 items to convert. Most of these have to be done from scratch. As of this posting, there are still 900 some items to re-create.


What about download time?
The servers are no where near capacity, but as always, you have the option to turn the graphics on this site off, for faster download time.


I love the new concept and am good with graphics. I know what a gif is and how to make it transparent. How can I help?
PM either LibertyChic or Freak4JC for more info


Can I request some new items now?
We will not be taking any new requests until after all items are converted.


Are we going to be able to hover over the character and see what's equipped?
Erwin is working on this so a list of equipped items shows


What's that little character under the rep thumb in people's posts?
This is a Job icon and has absolutely nothing to do with the armory


Is it done yet?
Not yet.....


How 'bout now?
Pretty soon......


Now?
;)

Well
a few questions...

This site is slow as it is. It takes quite a while even on broadband both here and at work to load a page of posts. And I have respectively 100Mbps at work, and 768k at home (for now)
No doubt the inclusion of this amount of graphics and code makes it harder to load. I have not seen the code, but with all the features there are on this site, there's bound to be quite a bit.

So my second question is; Will you do something to increase the speed? Will the code be streamllined, or a new connection speed used?

I can only see 1 question, but you can switch off the Armor graphics (you can do that now).

All our special features are "opt-in" - you can disable them. :) No one is forcing you to use them or see them. Plus if you want speed only we do have a PDA/Text version.

As for making the site faster - it has multiple servers each with its own 100mbps connections with the net AND with each other... I'm not sure how much faster I can make it. :)
