Nao I'm curious on how they're actually storing data. I mean if it were relational you'd think they would just use one table for this and it wouldn't be that difficult as the names are fetched... but are they saving the names else where as well? Given the game was from 2002 it more than likely is relational...

For now I'd suppose it works like semi-everything. You have your name changed, you have your marketplace disbanded, yet your pets still belong to you, also, your notes go somewhere else. But your friends are still yours, because they are bound to your character's core and not to the name. Sounds like a Soul Stream thing

If I feel the idea correctly, the completion mechanic must be similar to that of the Divine Knights' training grounds (Alban or Baltane, the one that starts at the crest, I always confuse those two units for no reason) to work well.

It's not the devs who ruin economy but mostly players (who refuse to use other channels than Ch1 for trading, who are just being lil'Scrooges, who tend to use side sources to get gold, who set higher and higher prices on market, etc.). That's a fact. If the overwhelming majority behaves in another way, economy will become better. I'm not saying it will be totally cured or that there are no problems in itself, nu-uh, it'll simply become better. I still agree with more than half of your people's statements here. However, if you have a complicated or even a not-so-good system, you still have the choice to use it in a better way or in a worse one. There are in-game charity funds where millionaires can simply put their stacks into, but I don't know how exactly that option works technically, and there are still possibilities of leakage to alts maybe, but well, it's already the to-exploit-or-not-to-exploit issue. I don't think that stacks of gold in the bank themselves may hurt economy, it's more about what happens to them outside the bank. Even such an outsider as myself was able to earn some millions and trade on another than Ch1 channel (without setting very high prices or selling ultra rare items, and without grinding stuff for sale, mostly by selling common things that may be useful), and I spend them on what I find reasonable at times (repairs, considering some upgraded and x10-repair-fee-enchanted weapons; single NX item I can't buy myself; even some vendor equips are expensive enough to drain my funds; exclude the top endgame gear, which I don't feel the need in yet), but not that often. Nevertheless, I also conclude that the in-game economy needs some changes.
This comment may have looked messed.

It's not anything new, and I highly recommend to exclude me from your winner pool regarding this post. I just thought that the Diamond Suit they rented is best fit with an officer or a spiked cap or a monocle (actually, you would want both, but you can't wear them together). To fill up the image I chose two weapons to equip.
Whateverland's major officer at your service.



Outfit pieces: DIamond Suit, Classic Shoes, Monocle, Hobnail Knuckle, Zeder II (all original, i.e. not dyed)

I'd like to drop in on the 22nd of June (if I'm not mistaken), and since you like pink and fashion so much, I'll suggest a new cute style for you to try on! But until then it's a secret >w<

Hum... I'm in a guild that has been inactive for pretty long, and it even says in-game that it expired in 2018, thus suggesting to use the website to settle any guild affairs. I wanted to leave it and was actually able to choose my character with + in his name, but unable to execute the action. It didn't let me leave the guild, showing a pop-up message saying that the character does not exist. I suppose it may be due to that + thing, but it works a bit different from what the first topic's post describes.
And I'd like them to extend the event that features guild transfers too, because some people are simply being technically unable to experience its beneficial effects.
