Oh yeah, you could buy different spells in different colors... It's slowly coming back to me. I don't remember how it worked though. I guess you just used it on the item you wanted to recolor?

Recolor.me has an unlimited dying system. It's pretty versatile.

@sunny: oh yeah - that rings a bell somehow (although I'm not sure why; I think at one point I made an account on ernya but didn't stick around very long).

I... kind of hate Recolor.me a lot, but the dye system is good.

Voltra uses gradient maps as well right? Like they make the item in gray and then color it accordingly

Yeah, Voltra does! I think it's a good way to reduce workload, though I'm not sure since I don't design for Voltra.

So you guys like being able to customize the items.

And yes, of course the people and culture are important, and it's just not an avi site if you can't play with your avi and items...

Drama is a no-no (of course it is!).

The spell system on Ernya was fantastic for customization. The problem was, they needed to have the spells available at all times, not just be at the mercy of those who had extras to sell.

And I'm not comfortable disclosing the names of sites whose owners/staff were terrible.

i loved spells on ernya, but the workload to create a new spell each month was huge. i think they did their colors by hand and especially certain items has custom color gradients per spell color (rainbow LOL)

personally i would find a dye system to be kind of overwhelming ... i understand why ppl would want it though!
i think for me it's just wayy too many options i would never get anywhere .... i prefer having constraints in order to put avis together otherwise the options are endless and i will get overwhelmed!

@Aisukohi: Of course that's fine! Again, I'm just curious - not looking to bash other sites by any means. Not my style. But I do tend to be curious ;)

I remember another incident on a site where a new user made a thread asking a question that was answered in the rules, FAQ, or something, and a user replied pretty much calling them stupid and telling them how they should read the aforementioned threads before wasting people's time asking dumb questions. I don't remember what they said exactly, but it really surprised me. Obviously the new user should have read those threads, but they could have just linked the threads and politely told them to read through them. I reported their comment shortly after it was made, and it was deleted thankfully. I hope the new user didn't have to see that. Imagine joining a site and getting talked to like that from the start... Not a good first impression. And most users on the site were nice

they also recolored the pattern so like a rainbow item could be recoloured with various different rainbows (grayscale, sepia, bright, pastel etc)

I worry about the workload associated with integrating a customization colour system, for THAT reason. Ernya took on an enormous workload with theirs, and I think it was part of their downfall.

But that's the only site I've been a part of with a customization feature like that.

@Wildfire: I getcha--sometimes drama has me like -big side eye emoji- lol. I will say that some of the sites that come to mind start with S and M lol. That's all I'll say though.

I'm liking Pantheon for the avatar creation but.. that's it, honestly. Recolor.me I'm never logging onto again. Dappervolk is nice but... so click heavy.
