Reduction of Name change cost

Hello,

I wanted to touch on a rarely used function.

I'm considering changing my characters name today in order to avoid confusion between myself and another player with a similar name. After investigating the name change function, and speaking with Doggo about the availability of the desired name.. I decided to suggest a change of pricing regarding taken names.

Currently it costs 50,000 LP to change your characters name to a currently unavailable discontinued name. I find this quite extreme, especially when considering that most players who've taken these sought after names don't even play anymore. For example: I'm wanting to use the name Lunar.. the player who owns the name currently is level 11 and has only played one day on that character (back in 2015).

Am I expected to pay an extra 30,000 LP simply because this player decided to quit the game after playing with this ign for one day? I'd be donating around $70 Canadian to make this unused name my own.. I could fund my characters wardrobe for months using 50,000 LP.. but instead I'm inclined to pay it towards my desired character name.

I believe there should be some mercy shown in the price of completely unused igns. I'm sure if this person who created the IGN Lunar knew that it was costing someone an extra 30 EURO.. just because they wanted to try out the server and took the name Lunar.. they'd feel some kind of sympathy for that someone.

I'm not asking for a free change here, I understand name changes cannot be free of charge. However I'm aware of the effort it takes to change a characters name within the database, and I don't feel it's worth 50 EURO.

Perhaps 30,000 LP is a more befitting price for taken-name changes.


Thanks for your time, please let me know if this change can be considered.
