I think I would be great if cryptic were to sign an agreement with a 3D printer in the same way as the Spore Game and allow users created character to be printed in 3D.

Eg http://www.sporesculptor.com/

The product would obviously be premium rate but it would be a good way to keep operating cost and subscriptions down for those who don't have the money to spend.

For my part I would certainly buy one as I am already "attached to my character.

I wonder if there is much support for this in the community? If there is perhaps the "market" can move Cryptic to act?
