  I'm not a computer whiz. But how much trouble would it be to offer the option to simply buy hats? There are a lot of people with the same avator and it can cause some confusion at times when there is matching avators in a group. I like my avator but I would like to add a hat to him. A straw fedora, golf cap,etc. You could go crazy with the options. Price them resonable say 100 credits and you would sell thousands of them. It may not be possible. like I said Im not a computer whiz and  i don't know how difficult it would be to do, but I think it would be nice to have the option. It  would let us all be  individuals.

  Dual purpose  - bank robber in the morning, golfer in the afternoon.

  I had to wear a hat for work for too many years so I hate them now, but could always be swayed by a straw hat with corks dangling around, keeps the flies away (not that the manicured courses on WGT seem to have any).

  I have to admit playing before and thinking why dont they just hit the f*****g ball, only to realise it was my turn! OOPS lol

  Let us add accessories to our avatar.   I'd buy a hat, new shoes, belt and matching glove. My woman would buy necklace, earrings, lipstick, belt, visor, shoes, sunglasses and at least 3 or 4 complete new outfits.

  The 2 of us would probably spend at least $50.00.  Half of the 10 million WGT members would probably spend $10.00.

  5 million x $10.00 = 50 MILLION DOLLARS.  I own a business and if I could add 50 million to my bottom line, I'd get my computer pros started on changes.

  It might really complicate matters to break up each avatar into a bunch of individual picture files compared to the one picture file WGT transmits now.

  As for 10 million WGT customers,  90% of them are possibly already gone. They were either briefly trying WGT out and left or they have become bored/frustrated and left. WGT still counts them as customers.

  Out of the remaining players, quite a few of us don't put money into the game. We either rely on the free credit options or we play with the starter balls and/or clubs.

  Add to that the people who only spend on clubs, balls and gambling. The income from hat sales is probably not worth the effort and possible game instabilities.

  Excuse me, the avatar business has been dead like this thread IMHO. They never responded to any accessories, and also not to new (nation) avatar requests.

  The only way seems to be open for businesses like Lexus - they talked WGT in to some new avatars for the latest VUSOs.

  You have their marketing purse?

  No black hat.  You'd burn up in the summer.  You need white in warmer weather temps.  You'd burn up in a black hat.
