Makeovers & Money Trees

Something that I must admit I am addicted to is the makeover function in Guild Wars. I can't help myself - there's always something about one of my characters that needs to be tweaked (both my ele and my necro have undergone major pixel-surgery) and sometimes I'm just itching to spend a little money. Therefore I think that there are things that can be done to improve the makeover system. Just as Guild Wars has recently placed a new NPC that gives you a free costume (that you pay for, of course), why is there not a function to buy new hairstyles that are exclusive to the seller? You could have seasonal styles and colours, and this could easily be blended into the existing Festival Hat makers, which will store and reproduce your festival masks across accounts. I suppose the fatal flaw in my plan is the fact that in order to list these exclusive hair styles, they would need names; an aspect that isn't used in the other hairstyles in the makeover and character creation zones. At least it's an idea towards funding Guild Wars 2, A-Net. By the way, I wouldn't mind a job in development =D

Speaking of Guild Wars 2, the main website has published the clues towards the first novel in the upcoming Guild Wars 2 novels. These are designed to plug the gap between the end of GW:EN and the beginning of GW2, in order to make sense of 250 years' worth of history. The website does nothing more than explain that it follows the human struggle against the Charr by that dolt Adelbern, the loss of Ascalon, and the eventual move to Kryta. While the storyline seems a little thin and predictable, something that personally interests me is the level to which it may explain possible game play and potential items that you may find in-game. Bring on the treasure hunt!
