I hope everyone has a great and scrumptious day today, for those who are celebrating! Thank you all for being part of the community!
So, here's an idea I had considered about a week ago. As some folks may be aware, I had implemented a sort of 'permanent' custom displayID a while back. Ideas of making it 'mainstream' so to speak happened even before we went into TrinityCore, but there wasn't really a good way of doing so that I could think of. I know there was a lot of disagreement with the handling of the prestige system in regards to it being too open. Quite a contrast to the previous implementation, I know.
The idea I came up with was to have an application subforum for custom models (which could be something as simple as a warlock's "pet" demon, or something like an ogre or goblin). The purpose of this subforum would be for any interested people to pitch their idea. They'd include such things as the race, the purpose of its existence, how it'd interact with players, if it'd be based in a certain location (maybe), affiliation, etc. To avoid overpopulation of these special characters, they would undoubtedly be rare. Any Grunt would be free to post, but a GM may not reply with a decision unless the time has come to allow another custom character in the world and we feel the player could portray it well, or the presentation is not done well (either the idea of the character or if we feel the player would not be able to handle such a unique role, is not an active member of the community, etc).
If the idea is approved, the player could create the character and I'd set them up with the proper displayID and appropriate faction adjustment.
What are everyone's thoughts?
