$10?

Is that even the normal price for it? I feel like it should be more like $5.

Pinch pinch pinch...

I wonder, will we see fewer players named "Viewing Cutscene", or more of them as a result of this.

To be honest? It's cheaper than I was expecting. >_>

They want it to be cheap enough so that most people that decide on a name change are able to do it, but not so cheap that people are changing their names every week. And before this finally came about, it took $36 to do a name change for yourself (make an alt on your world with the name you wanted, transfer off of your server, delete alt right before transferring back)...so yeah lol. I'll probably never do a name change, but I'm glad it's there.

Go to the Lodestone and search for players with that name. I remember being surprised at the number that turned up.

"Remember, remember, the 11th of November of name changing treason and plot.
I know of no reason, why the name changing treason should ever be forgot.
"

The day where everyone whom we finally shunned for being massive ****** exploiters, cheaters or scammers got their 2nd clean slate, and their 3rd, and their 4th, and their 5th...

I'm a little torn on the subject of a name-change. I almost instantly regretted the surname of my character and feel a payment of £5.75 is really a tiny amount to pay to change it to something more acceptable, it's not like I would change it every day or use it anywhere near as much as I was tempted to use Fantasias.

The flip side is I feel there are a bunch of less than wholesome players who will see this as a way to grief anew.

Time will tell I guess and ultimately I'd assume S-E log complaints against accounts not names, at least I'd hope they do.

I love how people always throw out the fallacy "But griefers can keep griefing now!"

Have you seriously ignored any MMOs since the MUD days? Do you seriously think they *care* if you know who they are? You act as if some server shunning as *ever* mattered to these people. Despite your nostalgia covered glasses people griefed in all MMOs (yes, even FFXI) and despite this belief that their actions are permanently tied to their character they griefed, lied, cheated, and continued to play.

Griefers are gonna grief. Get over it and stop pretending the majority of the server actually gives a damn what a griefer does.

Most MMOs charge $10-$30 that does actually charge because companies know people will actually pay that price.
