Re-name and Clan name

[Asmodeus]

I will make this Short and to the Point

I have been asked by many players in game if i will re-name a player and add or remove a clan name from there char.
EG - char name to [Clan]char name, and vise versa.

My simple answer is NO

Reason- Quite a while ago We the server staff came to a decision that Clan members should start with a new char
or pay 1 Billion creds to have this small inconvenience by past, and if you no longer want to be in that clan
then delete that char. Some players have said that's OK Mr Asmo I will get
another member of Staff to do it as they do it for free. That is there Decision NOT MINE.

So in a nut shell I will follow the Agreement that We the Staff Came to.

That is MY Decision.

gone have the days people thought "create new character" :-w

Im guilty of being one of those players that asked for a name and rep change from clan char to freelancer char  :(

I had another member of the server staff change my freelancer to clan char and when id didnt work out, i asked for it to be changed back. After listening to Mr Asmo and his reasons for not doing it, i deleted the char.

Im not to lazy to make a new char, ive done it a few times before and im not worried about deleting a char...i just wanted to keep the hours i had put in on the freelancer and the maps! Cash and reps are easy to sort out, those damn maps are not  :(

That stuff's also irreplaceable.

ok
i would like to know
1st scarry stuff was the money wipe
now if we wanna leave a clan but we dont wanna waste the time with exploring again we ahve top start from scratch?

as Zeus pointed out ...
so what the hell is going on
our final goal to get rid of every old voidians?

as for the best explorer group ever live on void
Quasar Orbis Dasti Virtual. Even with our friendship i think we can't do it again but 1 bill is a hell lot of trading. We are not a child to be able spend every free time to explore and trade

new mod, relaxed rp, but hey i cant see peoples comming here to play, no wonder. The only wonder is why im still here

This will be reviewed as a lot of things are being and will be in short time to come.  I have just started a new full time job however and that has priority from my perspective right now so less time is available as I'm quite tired when I get home.  It will take a few days to get settled as I've been out of work for a couple of months due to redundancy.

However, think on this a moment too, how did people ever survive in the days when no renames were done whatsoever at all?  I remember those days, there are some people still here from those days too.  There are, frankly, somewhat more important issues to be dealt with but this is also on the list I've been compiling recently and will be reviewed too.

This is the Original Decision that the Staff Agreed upon.

and I Quote.....

I think we should go with the following:

Renaming because of a spelling mistake, duplicate name causing confusion or "understandable" reasons to rename should be done free of charge, this should be seen as offering normal customer service. When doing this, we should see the character level being very low. If its a high level character you should maybe delve into the reason more, because the player has had it for a while.

Renaming in general, i.e. because its a new cool name should be discouraged and you should advise them to make a new character, if you agree, the cost should be 500,000,000 (half a billion)

Adding a Clan tag to an existing character is to be done for a fee of 1 Billion credits, removing a clan tag is also 1 Billion credits. Payable before you do it.

This stops clans inflating their player member profiles/stats unfairly. I will post on the forums soon, this will be effective from the 10th June. Thus giving a period of grace and reducing the flames on the post. The key I guess is to have a date of implementation ongoing, rather than put it in immediately.

Faction tags [X], [T] etc. added to the char name,we can deal with later when we have the role play template suggestions back. However, for the time being these should be treated as 500,000,000 to add a  faction tag to an existing character name.

Un-Quote....

It did not get posted at the time because there where more important matters going on concerning the Mod Release.

[Vansen]

right...

That was 5 months ago, why was it not posted? it takes a few mins to post on these forums!

/annoyed

[TheLaughingMan]

well

what is the maximum profit / hour on the server?
that can be a base for those prices
not half year of trading ffs

ok im a Black Legion member which won't change or only if i leaving the server
but if any other player made a wrong decision, or he just wanna try opposit RP then she/he heve to pay for nothing to the server where noone will benefit about that money

My suggestion is if any player will ever pay for this then at least the server staff have to spend the money on EVENTs within a week and they have to announce it on forums and let the masses to follow where is that money going

if any server staff wanna change their own name then they have to pay to me^^

every "free"* money i've ever received was spend on events anyway^^

*a player left the server

[Asmodeus]

@ TheLaughingMan you are totally missing the point here. The 1 bill amount was put there to Deter players from asking for clan tags.
The Object is if someone wants to join a clan/faction the said clan/faction helps them to get set up.

99% of the players here who joined Clans/Factions started with a NEW Char and most are still here because they worked for their tag.

[[BLK_LGN][X]Zeus]

The point here is to stop people asking for renames for what are seen as trivial reasons.

I was just saying it'd be pretty sucky (leave me alone, brainfart here o.O) to lose the stats the top 20's have.

[fireaters]

if the point was to stop players from changing names and do the work themselves why not just outright not allow it, instead of asking for an insane amount of cash that no one (or atleast none that i know of) could ever pay. that just causes false hope and crushed dreams.


on a more positive note i love the changes in the current mod. keep up the good work server staff

[TheLaughingMan]

Im justr saying this amount of money is unfair. ok i can understand that you have better things to do.
I have 4 BL character
3 of them properly introduced to the peoples.
1 of them is "secret" as always. Even with no sense to do it coz easy to figure out XD
Since no need for defender char i think a new name for your old char can be usefull.

In real life if you feel you must start over, that does not mean you have to burn all of your own stuff to the ground
That is only theatrical <-(is that the word?)
I like to start a new BL character in every half year beside VirtuaL

I have no idea how the admin/void board looks like but i believe a little note beside character names can be done. EK "warned coz violating rules" or so.

... if you have good reason, not just lazyness, then this type of service must be free for you
I do support the "new clan - new character" but if you wanna go to another clan that have to be done without wasting your character.

[Ryus]

You meant theoretical virt  ;)

[TheLaughingMan]

Nope ryus
I meant like an actor in a theater, just a roleplay, like tears in a movie then "cut", end of scene two we can go to lunch^^
