i have been playing fonline for about a week and i ran across players with odd skins, like brahimins, dogs, or just hakuin, i asked about it and they told me that the gm's gave them the skins.
The problem is, i want to get one as well, but somehow,i never find a gm!I tried the hub, ncr,all over the place, i requested help(+requesthelp) but nothing.
How do i get those skins and/or contact a gm?
I would like that skin you gave to metzger.
(Sorry for asking such idiotic questions)

There was a kind of "Skin Event" yesterday, where skins have been given out. I am sure such a thing will happen again in near future.

Beside this, we have strict rules and don't give out animal or plant skins, etc. because it's ridiculous to run across a talking dog... or plant... or whatever. If you meet such a person, it must have given some specific exception for them.

[Fino]

other idiotic question please...
some of the players i ran across told me to call out for a gm using the +requesthelp, asking him to give me a skin, and he(or she) will give it to me, can this be done even without the skin event?
Can i contact a gm in this forum and ask him for a skin please?
Where is the next skin event?
(yes i know, there are 3 questions)

[Lexx]

Using the +requesthelp for such things can make GMs angry. We added this command for important help and not for such things.

Maybe a GM will post in here later. I try to catch one.

[crunchtag]

The GMs have said that they should not be contacted through the +requesthelp command (it should be reserved for important game-related issues) or, I believe, outside the game regarding skin requests.

Instead, just play the game, and when you happen come across a GM or Dev (you can find a list here), ask them nicely if they would please give you a specific skin. Keep in mind that some skins can't run, use certain weapons or armours, or/and are not given out to players for whatever reason.

Can someone answer me if are they giving our Vic skins sometimes? And can Vic skin fix stuff, repair stuff, shoot big guns?

[Archvile]

Vic could only use knives, pistols, rifles as far as I remember well. Maybe SMGs but I'm not sure. No big guns.
And he's got the fixing/stealing/healing/cow-milking animation if that's what you mean by "fixing stuff".
If you put on an armor, you will stop looking like Vic for the time you wear it.

[Izual]

Actually, skins have quite only disadvantages. You can't use all weapons, sometimes you can't run, and you can't wear any armor.

So actually we are officially only changing male skins to one that can wear armors, use weapons and run : Long Hair Dude skin. Beware : We won't revert your skin once we've changed it, so think twice before asking.
For now, no skin is given to female characters, sorry.

Don't use +requesthelp for such a thing. I personally never answer +reqs that contain a question that can be answered on the forum or on IRC, or concern a small "issue" - like the skins one. We'll change skins in some "Skins Changing Event" that should happen sometimes, or if you see us in-game.

[Fino]

yes i am quite aware of the disadvantages for certain people, here is the big new, no disadvantages for me!
Thats right, i am a unarmed fighter, i dont use guns at all so i dont need gun animation.
So more questions please.
-I thought it was a bald hair dude skin too, or am i wrong?
-Izual, do you have powers to give me a skin please?Please?I am sick and tired of being  just another one.

[Izual]

Bald dude is only in leather jacket, so we do not give him. We only give LONG HAIR DUDE. =p

For your skin, try to catch me in-game. I just made a skin "event" announced to the whole server - it ended now. Around 20 people got a long hair dude from that "event".

[Roachor]

Also for actions with missing animations you can still do them. For instance one of my characters has the goris skin, but only in the robe. Since in F2 it was basically 2 different sprites combined in one all I have is movement animations. When I attack or heal or drop something I stand still.

[Fino]

i am sorry for being so boring but  if even without animations i can still do stuff i dont mind losing a few ones to get metzger skin, and is your ingame name the same as here?

[_Youkai_]

i guess not =S

How come is it that Sulik could use knives and hammers, but my tribal skin char can only use spears?

[Roachor]

How come is it that Sulik could use knives and hammers, but my tribal skin char can only use spears?

sulik has a unique skin, tribal is just generic npc. What about the Restoration project follower skins that can equip CA and PA? They had sulik, cassidy and vic for sure.
