In real life, I am not the most slim person.
I would love if my avatar embodied this.

This would be hard because of clothing, for they would have to be resized.

I would love to see skinny, normal (size of current avatars), body builder, chubby, a little bigger (but with numbers i guess)

"Hard" because of clothing doesn't even begin to cover it. I don't think you comprehend the scale of the task this would require, or the ramifications. We have over 6000 items, the majority of which are clothes. They'd have to be completely remade again for each avatar size, you wouldn't be able to just add a few pixels to what's already there..let's say 5000 items that need remaking for 5 extra body types, that's 25,000 items that need making. How long do you think that would take? Seeing as it's taking two and a half years for us to reach 6000 items.

Plus there's the stores issue. Would we sell each size of clothing seperately?So if you changed your base size, none of your clothes would fit and you'd have to buy a whole load of new stuff?

Or would we make every item a multi-equip that contained all 6 sizes and consequently cost 6 times as much. Which everyone would have to pay regardless of if they ever intended to use a different size base.

See, you need to think this kind of stuff through ;)

Things like different base sizes are only feasible if they're in place when a site opens, they really can't be implimented at a later date :)

You're right. I should have thought harder.
