True true... BUT maybe we can think in a few options? Im sure the main problem is the scamers and such, but how about if this service goes ONLY for old players and/or high levels ones (to avoid the multi-account loophole) like:
- Having spent a minimum X amount of money on this game
- 1 Year of activity or more
- Character levels (Or main character level)
Etc...
@Xiokun I think runescape has or had a system like that
Nexon KR : I SAID NO
Nexon America : Okay people... they said no.
Nexon America Forum : WTasklfjsadkjfakljs GIVE US THIS AND DAT NAOOO RAGE
Pretty much.
That's just how Korea goes. Their company, their rules. They most likely check to see if its worth it. How much money will it take, the coding, would people even use it? etc. And, Korea usually loves NA so I think they're just not wanting to invest something that may end up flopping.
it is fine if they prohibit you from using something vulgar but....
"you cant change name if bla bla bla"
"changing name will cause bla bla bla"
"changing name takes process for bla bla bla"
"changing name requires bla bla bla other than your money"
i dont even find trouble changing name in old games such as Ragnarok Online
"because it is complicated"
well damn yourself for making everything in mabinogi complicated
Not sure what the divorce has to do with the title if it's related to something else entirely? You created a family....which....is like a perma stay where you are in this tree line. So if you change things....you cannot? you need to leave and rejoin/remake because there are changes? Unless you cannot un-join what you joined?
Anyways....back on topic.
There was a game that always used their nickname/log-in user ID in joint with the IGN so no matter who had what name you can always tell who was who. Placing a former name would start to become a long one should have have the name change out indefinitely or keep rolling it every year as some ppl might change their name each time for the hell of it to see how long they can make it....unless you go by their former first name from the beginning which never changes.
I would think the former user log-in would be substantial because they took the feature out from logging in as you need your email acct nowadays. And nickname...im not sure if that's tied to forum nicknames or not so that might not work so well.
You cannot change the way some people think about your name....if you make a new one..what makes you think they will not come up with another creative way to make you not like your name. Just stick with it and make your reputation with such as you stuck with it so long already?
Most of the older players know my character despite being made fun of. Not sure if I would change my character name because I'm well known in that community.
If they would also allow a character change switch from your other characters.....That would be another options because as players make other characters they make better names for themselves and wish to switch at times...This ...I can see happening and would be great because then no one would have to worry about losing a name they like on their account.
It's simple in a perfect world...but since we aren't....the maliciousness in it all...you have to think of the ramifications that pertain to allowing such and how to moderate that. I mean.....Look how important this game is that they moderate it...Like all the harassment and such you know.
"none of this is complicated"
*proceed with explaining how complicated the name changing is*
oh irony
yeah sure eventually it will come here, right?
like for how long?
another 3 years? 10 years? perhaps never?
you are answering exactly the same with the person that when i ask about FMA crossover, they said, it will eventually here
like hell i will listen such as bull
I got a name change fyi. We wanted to get remarried so it would say Sasochan Neyna's Husband instead of Sasochan Sharte's Husband. Sasochan cannot divorce "Sharte" because Sharte is Neyna, which was orginally Sharte.
I can leave the family (if that's even possible), but it wouldn't change the marriage title for Sasochan.
Look at Sasochan and Neyna's title and you can see what the issue is.
ps. How can one of us leave if we can't even divorce? We are both the parent in the family tree. Even if I can, it wouldn't fix the marriage title.
The GM is aware of this issue and couldn't assist us with it.
They know that my old gears also say "Sharte-only item" and I can equip them without needing to trade unlock too.
Considering the fact that KR has a team dedicated to monitoring each request, as well as fraud checkers... Nexon NA is probably not in a state to release it at this time.
If they had implemented it several years earlier, they would have had the additional human resources available to do so.
Right now they aren't matching up in any popularity contests, so finding capable employees is probably going to be difficult, unless there's just one person who can handle the mountains of time it'll take.
There's just so much that needs to be done to keep Mabinogi up to date and modern, that it probably seems like something Nexon KR or NA doesn't really think needs to be added immediately.
Or try to fix my issues first and the things you mentioned, then they can decide if they want to allow players to get a name change #testsubject
Seriously, in terms of programming, its literally the SIMPLIEST feature to implement... oh wait! its already been implemented in the game time ago!
Yes..
its already been implemented by nexon Korea long time ago, and it's been on for
17.50017.800 Cash and working fine for their communityhttp://mabinogi.nexon.com/ItemShop/product_detail.asp?product_no=449896
There's literally no real argument for not implementing this, i even tried to open a ticket to request a name change, even saying that i was up to pay whatever it takes for it, and nexon's support center answers that the only way i can change my char's IGN is if the name is "offensive" or whatever... so guess what, my name IS offensive to me considering is not right for the gender of my character, i made a really bad mistake, so why not allow us to fix it by ourselves by spending money in NX? just like in REAL life, in most countries you can change your real name at least once (at least you can in my country !...)
Lets be honest, a lot of people here feels a bit ashamed of what they picked up as IGN if they ever tried the game during childhood or something right?
some of us are now capable of spend money to fix such silly mistakes, so why not Nexon America? what makes YOU so special over KR/JP/TW/CN servers?
I could mention loads of other examples like the ability to gift nx items, present in most of the servers out there BUT NA's....
anyways, lets bring this up and make our server a bit more up to date to the real gaming logic and fantasy life !
PS: Sorry for my engrish.com, but you probably get the point of this poll lol
Same with the mentioned 'Gifting NX'.
Why does NA get this abuse?
Everywhere else gets great treatment and features while we rot over here!
It's the same in MapleStory too!
The Korean server already has it, why are we so behind?
A lot of players have had their accounts for many years. Some of us thought we wouldn't take this game seriously at first, therefore created a silly name meant to be temporary.
Others might have outgrown their username, or perhaps have a sensitive name that was meant to be endearing to a partner, friend, or family member that is no longer with us.
I personally think the first name change should be free, as this has been a highly requested item for many years. But this is a purchaseable item in the Korean Nexon shop.
$17.00 is completely reasonable for a name change item. Even if you have to limit how many name changes are available, one would be completely fine (for me personally).
