This is another re-take on the Armatar discussion because we need to clarify a few points.
First, this topic is to discuss how the AG3 beta manages armatars.
Secondly, if you just want to ask for new armatars, discuss it with Dan.
Third, we are still discussing whether we want to allow custom armatars in the future, because of copyright and licensing issues that will come up from that, so that idea is ON HOLD.
If messages in here aren't about the interface we've built, how we could improve it, etc., then I'll probably trim the message.
Questions about how to unlock armatars, etc., are totally welcome and I'll provide answers as I have them. As of the time I write this, the understanding I have is that all AG2 armatars will be unlocked on AG3 by default, and we will unlock seasonal armatars through some process eventually.
We are also going to start asking game developers for one or more armatars related to their game, which users can select, but I don't think they'll be locked in any way. We've talked about unlocking special armatars based on achievements, but since achievements aren't finished yet, we can't go into much detail on that.
I've heard on numerous occasions that cormyn is taking the seasonal armatar list back.
I have nothing to do with seasonal armatars. For a while it was under Carlie's control to turn them on/off. I think we were going to look for a way to automate it somewhat, like telling the site to look at the calendar for certain events like the dates of each solstice, 14 days before major holidays, that sort of thing.
will the custom amatars be like creating your own character or still just basic photos?
I think at first they will just release the seasonal/holiday armatars at specific times, then in some time after they figure it all out they might allow us to create our own and use them.
how do you buy armatars with your armor points?
You don't buy armatars. If you're asking how to change it, then click "control panel" > "armatars" > scroll down then press "update armatar".
I don't know if this has been said yet, too lazy to look, but I think allowing people to use the flash game icons on this site for their armatars would be a good idea. It'd add a lot of new armatars, they are already correctly sized and none would inappropriate.

As for the game based armatars, will the cover of the game and certain pictures from in-game be up for use? The cover of the two Sonny games would make a good armatars:
