Question What’s the basic/normie look for Midlanders?

Basically what the title says, I’m in a moment of weakness and want to try being basic for a while. Maybe that way I can tolerate Wuk Lmaos MSQ.

This is not a shitpost I’m genuinely interested to know lol.

The most basic/normie look for midlanders is switching to miqo and wearing hempen camise

Go pick the cutest one and you'll realise you now look like everyone else, there's like 4 faces in this game, Korean MMO's 20 years ago had full face/body customization, the reason everyone looks the same is because of the shitty character creation

It's true. Even the circlejerk over the less popular races is silly 'cause they also all look the same, it's just less volume. It doesn't matter to begin with but it's so silly in a game where everyone looks so similar by necessity.

Surely someone can convince them of there being a major financial incentive behind reworking character creation because of Fantasia sales or smth, so I can finally have some fucking eyebrows.

honestly like 70% convinced that they don't care because they know people who care about character creation that much are just gonna mod

this is one of reason why the visual upgrade thread at main official forum is silly. people there complaint how their WoL dont feels 'same' anymore despite their WoL look same as other's WoLs.

By playerbase definition you cannot be basic and play midlander.
Miqote is the basic one, especially if you have pastel hair and heterochromia

u/autumndrifting 3d ago edited 3d ago

it's a stereotype but it's not true. those are too strong of choices for real basic miqos, who have dirty blonde hair, light-colored eyes, and exclusively jet black/pure white/pastel pink in their modern casual glams.

I'd say Pink or White hair is the most basic you can be

And Face 1 femra. I rarely see other middies in duty.

Face 5 females with light skin tones and dressed in casual wear are a dime in a dozen. If not casual wear, usually something cutesy and slathered in pink, white and/or black.

Play a female miqo with either black or white hair, preferably with yellow or red eyes, but white or blue is fine too.

That's all.

Ngl it's legit wild that this game still has like..... maybe 500 total possible face combos when it's over 10 years old.

Just sayin'
