I have noticed, since I arrived here, the sheer number of characters who have chosen to design their headgear to look like spectacles.

So OBVIOUSLY the best profession would be an Opthamologist (eye doctor). Big Money!!!

Can we PLEASE take it out of the crafter for a while, so we can end the epidemic?

We will not be removing the spectacles from the available headgear, although Cere is kinda reviewing the available options. It is possible that she finds a different headgear that we want in, that has the same "number" as the glasses, then they may get overridden.

Besides, you think its bad now? About a year ago it was practically de rigueur if you were evil you wore shades.... glad that phase is over and done with.

I would also like to point out the existence of regular eyeglasses, but only for specific female heads. Several of the "young girl" heads, in character creation, will show the option for "facial hair" as selectable. Click it, and you wind up with a permanent librarian look.

But no, not getting rid of the glasses. Xndar and Reptiller would round up a lynch mob.

yeah, i'd be joining in that lynch mob. my necromancer who is not EVIL, does wear the sunglasses, partially because for a time he was blind. Still wears his magical sight replacement that he'd had enchanted because he's gotten used to having both means of sensing things. (Blindsight helm)

Amusingly though, one day I was sitting around as this Character, John Cabal, in his glasses and started having a character hitting on my character, around Zeets. Couldn't figure why but rolled with it but this character truly seemed to think I'd really interacted with them before...

...I'd been playing the character for months, so maybe I had and was highly amused at rolling with it since my character could be an opportunist, then this guy comes along, named Charles Goodman and guess what... in identical sunglasses and suit, he's my ringer.

Yes, the evil glasses were a plague. You're right. But I think our characters must have looked so utterly similar too because we were shooting for the same thing by chance, sort of a cool Johnny Depp, as opposed to a scraggly Jack Sparrow Johnny Depp.

Just remember when you see folks wearing them... before you chuckle and roll your eyes, some characters have worn them all along. Maelfina, Hildmor, Charles and a handful of others. They've always had them.

And good luck getting Charles to remove them. Ain't gonna happen! They are definitely a part of his character.

A lot of people also wear it because they have Darkvision... and a bunch of people like to run around with a miniature sun (Light spell) above their heads :P

And in terror they run and hide,
From the shadows of old we rise,
Awakened, from the dark!

Over the ancient ruins we fly,
Where the old kings go to die,
And the new kingdoms rising high,
Awakened, from the dark, dark slumber!"

I think the proliferation of eyeglasses has something to do with those who don't want to engage in pvp.

After all, you wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you?
