When all the customisation is complete, you'll move on to the posing screen to prepare your final character portrait.. Although I find myself nostalgic for the old backgrounds that were removed, they've been replaced with a huge range of great new high-resolution backdrops. The first 23 backgrounds are gritty and highly industrial images of the bulkheads inside an EVE ship, and these are definitely my favourites. The remaining backgrounds are a mixture of lights and rappelz rupees , some subtle and others very bright. The subtler of these work very well while the brighter patterns can be distracting and dominate the portrait.
The rappelz rupees  head can be turned and tilted, and its eyes can be rotated to make it look in a particular direction. Decide whether you want the character to be looking straight at the camera, staring into the distance or looking at something off-screen. Before working on your rappelz rupees  expression, cycle through the lighting options and find one that looks particularly awesome. The eyebrows, eyelids and mouth can all be morphed separately on each side of the face, which is handy for producing a smirk or a raised eyebrow. A great tip I picked up from the forum is that people naturally widen their eyes in shade, so raising the eyebrow a little on shadowed eyes and lowering it on eyes in bright light can make your portrait look a bit more natural.
So far I've been really impressed with the rappelz gold . There aren't many clothing options or natural-looking hair styles available so far, but these will likely be focused on in Incarna. When creating your new avatar, remember that the scaled-down forum avatars and chat icons will look a little different than the full-sized image. How you see it in the portrait preview box is how it will appear in-game, so be sure you're happy with the small portrait image before continuing.
With three days to go until rappelz gold  head start kicks off (and a week until the official launch), excited players may be forgiven for running in circles in an attempt to speed up the passage of time. While Trion Worlds can't make Thursday come any quicker, the studio did finally reveal on Facebook the hour that the head start will go live: 10:00 AM PST (which is 1:00 PM EST and 6:00 PM GMT).

  just completed its six-day open beta event, and developer Zann has promised more details on the head start as the week progresses (including, presumably, server names): "For everyone who is asking about the head-start client, we will post all the information and instructions before the event kicks off!" 
To get in the game on February 24th instead of March 1st, you'll need to pre-order RIFT either online or at a retailer. In the meantime, why not check out our guide to pre-launch preparations?
