IGN change prices are ridiculous, make no sense & should be changed

...

because they're donators. They actually paid money to the server, and at least that shows a bit more commitment to the game, even if they wind up disappearing for months or forever. Let's just call it another little perk that isn't pay to win.

And yeah, 10k donor nx does sound fair too. At least it's not something ridiculous like $50. Oh right. Let's also put a limit on how often you can do this.

 

I was thinking once every 6 months. Because something like a name change shouldn't used often, otherwise it will just be abused by a bunch of people. You know, those same people who think spamming smegas is funny. But this time they'll think confusing everyone is even funnier and who knows? A name change is something that could potentially be abused by someone trying to scam.

 

Just because I didnt have a credit card and couldnt pay to donate to the server (not because I didnt want to) and went on a break for 6 month they could take my ign?
I dont think donations have to do anything with it.
Donators should be treated equally to others, one of the things of the server that paying/donating doesnt give you privileges.

Also on another note 6months is way to short, people been playing this game (in generall) for over 10 years, taking a few years break here and there means no time at all for us.
If i take a break and I reserved an ign (which is part of the game) I wouldnt want it to be taken away when I come back.
Im not planning to go back to gms, I treat this server as my last maplestory thing ill do, I probablly can never quit and always come back might take a few months/years break here and there but can never quit totally (thats for most people who play this game, they always come back at some point).

If this does get implemented and for example the time to change for an ign is 6 months, I think it should be fair to give a 6months notice before it actually gets implemented.

 

IGN Life is free boys, go take it!!!
Blame Latte for not having Fine free

 

Still think IGN change/stealing is stupid and would like to see it as little as possible so ...

 

also donations arent supposed to give in-game advantages (pay to win) - donators already have 'privileges' - ie perm nx and stuff. changing an ign doesnt give u an 'in game' advantage, hense the logic behind donators not having their igns taken, its a privilege but not a in-game advantage.


Please ignore my horrible grammar

 

Level 45 might be a bit high for some classes, for example, if some1 plays a begginer that only quests to level and not grind or pq, leveling up will take him alot of time. The game slows down at a different point for each person, you cant just decide it.
When i leveld my bowmaster i got from 55 to 8x in 2 days or so, the game didnt slow down for me until 9x 1xx. It depends on the person and the way they play the game.

And when you say a person that actually wants to play. If the other person just takes a long break and still wants to play? Just because some random player donated some money they can take their ign?

 

Thats not entierlly true, there is no one way to play the game, every player plays it differentlly, an advanrage varies from each person, and one can think that having a cool name gives him an advantage.
For example, if somebosy has a very cool name and he asks in fm for help or money etc, he is more likely to get what he wants then somebody with a really uncreayive or random name, hence having an ingame advantage.

 

Just to clerify, you dont actually have to grind until you are out of ranges of all pqs and you finished all the quests, and lpq is slower then avtually grinding (this only applies if you are playing the game to level up and get stronger and not to meet people, socialize, etc. There are more then one way to playing the game).
Werr not talking about specific cases because of we do it just gives the gms way more job to do and we dont want that, if you do want to make this happen you need to come up with a system that the majoroty of the people and most/all of the gms would agree on.
Also dont think that just because you suggested something it would get implemented right away, there are way more stuff the staff are working on right now, and I can tell you this is not a high priority.

Because pay to win

 

Since when did changing a character's name become pay to win? There's no in-game advantage to that. This also means there's no "pay to make others lose" either.

Pay for privileges? Yes. It helps keep the server running tyvm. But pay to win? No.

Seriously, sob stories about someone's precious identity being stolen are going to be few and far between. Like if some guy named a character Cloud or Gandalf, and then they got bored and quit, do you think anyone would give two shits if someone else with the same lack of creativity wanted the name instead?
