Hello again
@Nicolas.D (and
@Psycho) ,
Apologies for the delay in getting back to this suggestion.
We are very happy to inform you that most of these suggestions have been accepted.
The 3D hat suggestion has already been implemented and will already be live. Honestly, the house elf did look rather sick without it and looks far better with it, so thanks for the suggestion!
We agree with being allowed to customize your house elf further by setting a different name for it, so we will be looking into adding that in the future. As we allow players to change their housing welcome message, pet names, etc, moderation isn't an issue here, so the idea of preset names isn't necessary. That's not to say we won't be moderating it, as having an inappropriate name here would fall under the Inappropriate Behaviour rule as well, but as we already allow customization it wouldn't make much sense to restrict this.
However, we don't want to allow players to change the house elf model, since a house elf is a house elf (like in the Harry Potter Lore) and being able to change it's appearance would not make much sense. We deliberately selected the house elf for housing, as it makes the most sense with HP Lore.
Thanks again for the great suggestions and have a magical day!
