There are certain armatars that people don't use cause they find them ugly or not cool. I've always been searching for an armatar that fits my username(as you can see, none does), Zanto is from the spanish word "Santo", and Santo means Saint, you probably already knew that. Now if you have a username, that's really... nice and all, and you can't find an armatar that fits it, talk about it here. Examples of Armatars nobody uses:
Those are some examples ; cause there are still more. And from those examples, some people use them, but not a lot, about 10 or less. Prove me wrong, well I'm glad there are armatars people don't use, you want to know why? cause if I start to like an armatar nobody uses, i can use it, and be actually unique on the AG Community. Like the one i currently have(The Troll with red hair), that one fits my personality, cause i'm a fail troll(said Poison).
In the past.. which was quite some time ago. It's what I call people who almost always stick to the forum games section. Though that obviously changed quite a while ago. As for the snake, I recall its usage but it's getting hazy. Was more commonly used two years ago.
I've seen almost every one of the armatars you posted being used! That has to be a coincidence. The only one I don't remember seeing is the white ox/ghost thing.
And this is just my opinion, but the first one posted actually looks slightly saintly to me... Although he looks kinda bummed.
I've seen a couple of people with my armatar, but I'd rather go with something rarely used and quite good looking then never used because it looks quirky, to say the least. And who knows, maybe when I manage to level up to the point where those armatars are available to me, I might actually grab for myself - though I have the feeling that sticking to the one, no matter how commonly used, and posting, well, a lot, gets people to associate that armatar with you.
The alligator is great though but I haven't achieved that one yet. Being from the south I've seen a lot of gators.
I really wish AG had a hawk, a great horned owl, a falcon or any other bird of prey that looks great with a little armor on them. Oh, well...Once I learn how to utilize my limited artsy skills to fit the pixel count that AG requires, look out. Then, you'll find my art in Wajor's War Chest, in the AMW!
