Name changes

Tanith1 wrote:Just to let those know who dont know, now u can buy a name change for 3 MTs. Its available on the market page.


I posted this in a few other places but felt it might need it own thread.

Mod if you feel it doesn't then feel free to remove it. I posted this in the market update thread too but it seems to have died so thats why I posted here.

It would also be nice if someone posted how it works.

Does it give the name change on main and ascended?
Can you "save" name changes? Or do you have to immediately change the name?
Can you change the ascended name and leave the main name and vise versa?

Wicked Idea as I already said, this should ease up all the emails the Admin receives regarding the name changes. Good modification

Thanks.

i rekon it is a great idea, but as lore said, if you have to change your name straight away or you can store it?

If you have to use 3 MT's to do it and you can sell MT's for like 8-10bil each, why don't you just sell your MT's and get a lot more out of it then just a different name...

Accounts move from person to person sometimes. Look at it like this. I have a 50 mill army size and say I just get disgusted with the game and say "Hey Metallic Man/Forrest Gump you want my account cuz i quit!!"

Now There are some who would turn it down but then again there are many who wouldn't. Problem is I have no name changes left. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be stuck with my name or would like to have to pay 50$ to change it. I inturn would not want you using my estabished name.

Also take into concideration that many people change. Some may start out aggressive and pick an aggressive name. Some may start out passive and chose a passive name. Then somewhere down the road they change they style of play but can not change their name to reflect the inner change. Also some people link their names to their alliance. If you change alliances you therefore need to change the name as well.

Just a few notions as to the need for this update.

you dont have to change your name straight away, it just adds to your total previously

I like how we can now obtain a name change on the market.

I initially thought it could be reduced to 1 market turn however having it as three means people will not abuse it.

Well ID#'s never change, and yes I think the cost was well placed.
