			Any news on when we'll be allowed to change our avatars from these hideously faceless silhouettes?

There have been dozens and dozens of threads made on this since F2P went live. Fact is, you can change it now.
Ignore everyone telling you it needs a certain resolution or png/jpg/bmp/etc format, it's just not true. The only restriction is a kb size limit, but it'll tell you it's too big if you hit it. If you get the generic failed to upload message, then it's sheer random luck when it'll take one.
 
Really, you just need to get the same picture in three different formats, and pick one to upload, then the next, then the next, then the first again, then the second again, then the third again, and repeat this 70+ times in order and it'll eventually take one. 
 
EDIT: I'd imagine you can do the same thing but with just one picture and one format of your choice. Keep plugging it 50/60/70+ times and it should take it.

			make a 25kb or lower jpeg, and keep trying to upload that image, eventually it will work. that's how i got mine up.

			I just kept using the same picture until it took it. It was always going to take it, no question. Remember, 50 "no"s and 1 "yes" means yes. :P

			It took me about 8 trys. Just like it has been said, if you keep trying it will take it, just make sure it is under 10k and 200x200, that will probably help.
