Ya know, I think it would be pretty neat if we could get some new avatars loaded up on to these forums. A good place to start, in my mind, would be to make some using sections of the various event images we've had. Looking though them, I can see that the "priest" and the "mage" from the first HE image was added, but maybe the Hobglup stuff could be put up too? Or, the gnomes and broken spider? Or, any of them. Like the image for the new barrier quest/akigwe's/riot 1 and 2/etc.

Would be fun and pretty easy to do.

I think that's a really cool idea.

i think it would be cool if we could load up any avatar we want. Forums rules would still apply, but some of us have creative juices that flow far beyond a picture of http://www.play.net/images/forums/avatars/Alliance_of_Heroes/hx_face.jpg

I'm one of those people.

I agree. That would be pretty cool, however, probably take more work to do that than it would to make avatars from already approved play.net/dr artwork.

Just sayin'

Out of faint curiosity, are you using the Play.net forums, or the Tinyheroes? I ask because the Tinyheroes allows Gravatars, which pretty much fulfills your stated desire.

I'm using the play.net forums. I personally do not like the tinyheroes forums because I prefer the "legacy view" when posting and reading. Also, IIRC, tinyheroes avatars will not show up here.

I'll see what I can do, but if anyone wants to try their hand making some avatars with the former event art, they just need to be 100x100 jpgs.

I don't know if there's a tool out there that lets you set a 100x100 box and cut out sections of an existing image, but if someone knows of a way to do that, let me know and I can stamp out a bunch.

I'll also look into the Gravatar thing.

Thank you for considering this and possibly implementing it, Solomon. I appreciate it.

I just made a quick Akigwe's using that site I just linked. Looks pretty good.

What a great suggestion.

I'm going on ten years with ole Truffenyi by my side. You make me want to consider changing it finally.

PS I've wanted to start an avatar drive for so long. So set your avatars if you haven't done so already! I like associating accounts with an image, simply because it's simpler to know who wrote a post.

Ok...I THINK you should be able to see a new folder of icons to select called "New DragonRealms".

If that works for you all, I'll add the others I made.

They do! Or should at least, I came over to the old forums to check and can see Shaidval's gravatar up there, and you should see my black haired elf girl gravatar.

Let's not talk about how long it took me to find this post over here to check though :P

Regardless, as charming as I find the old school avatars, huzzah for new ones!

OK.

Added a New GemStone group and a New Miscellaneous group of more icons.

i want to use a picture of myself because studies show that extremely good looking people are not only perceived as being smarter - they usually are. I want people to take my posts SERIOUSLY.

Dude, that thread is from 2014. Just use Gravatar, it's supported almost everywhere.
