It is most noticeable in Men and Elves, less so in Dwarves. Hobbits have yet to undergo/suffer an avatar update ~ so there would be no difference in yourself to see as yet.

Ha ~ very well put!
I'm sure there was talk initially from the developers that the update would be in addition to existing avatars, but sadly that seems to have fallen by the wayside.

That is correct. No matter what you do, you have no control over whether others see the avatar you actually designed or a poor substitute. By default, users see the much-despised "update" versions.

Um, yeah . . . I think this is in Butterbur's room for private parties. And doesn't the old avatar option only work for yourself, not for the "you' that other people see?
