The thing with being able to change your sex at will, is this: you destroy the RP aspect of MMORPG. UNLESS you work it the world in a way that makes sense. Barbers make sense, tattoo artist and hell surgeons and even make sense. Sex changes in game you'd hope there would be a support group for newly changed individuals. I'm somewhat kidding and not. :/

OMG you're bringing rl stuff into a game! Not, really, I've been role playing is my problem, my characters are now breathing entities that have a background, a life and a purpose. I have a hard time seeing them that way if the game has mechanics that break the illusion. Imagine watching a good movie you really want to get into, while the person next to you keeps talking about the RL of the actors... There you go total immersion breach. That's what I wouldn't want basically, so I hope with a gender change they either make it fit the infamous 'lore' or make it hard for people to do.
