Jedi_riches Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Seriously Bioware why only give a 25% discount on name changes so it's 750CC each, when in fact you can do it for much, much less than that at only 180CC. You should have made the tokens 250CC max (a little more than 180 but it is a bit more convenient hence the extra 70CC) and I am pretty certain it would sell well as people may not mind paying 70CC more but 570CC more?. What were you thinking when you decided to try and charge 750CC each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capella Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I agree that rename tokens should have been below 250CC for the first week of name spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Someone suggested making use of(1) the 90CC server-transfer price: create a character with the same name you want to get rid of on a different server. Transfer the character you want to rename to the other server. This forces the transferred character to be renamed. Now transfer the character back. Result: you've spent 180 CCs and your character has a new name. (1) "making use of" might be pronounced "a-BYOOZ-ing" or "ex-PLOYT-ing", so be wary.

LordCamTheGreat Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Everyone should have been given a token in the mail so that they can change their name, for FREE. *gasps* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't assume that because the Character needs a rename you can transfer back and then rename - you get left with a character with a name like a gold spammer.

Xina_LA Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I would like to see a much stronger sale on Character and Legacy name changes for awhile, so that players can take advantage of the new naming guidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediRelentless Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) You get rewarded 500 CC a month for being a subscriber. There's your discount. Plus, many players probably haven't used their free name change until this week. Edited April 8, 2016 by JediRelentless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatRacer Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 What were you thinking when you decided to try and charge 750CC each? The answer isn't obvious? They were thinking it'd be a good way to make money. Y'know, that thing that helps keep the game running (such as it is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCT Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 The idea is that you rename before you transfer back. Sorry for not being clear about that. No, I got that - I made the mistake on my trooper on Tuesday. Transferred to another server and his name was already taken, so he got the "HFKTHRJEFJFGSDFRT" name, and I forgot to name him before sending back to the original server, where a name holder was in place to force the name change. Since no-one on the first server was called "HFKTHRJEFJFGSDFRT" (I know, I was amazed it hadn't been snapped up too), he got stuck with it and I had to do it again.

Since no-one on the first server was called "HFKTHRJEFJFGSDFRT" (I know, I was amazed it hadn't been snapped up too), he got stuck with it and I had to do it again. In the words of a Lithuanian guildie in ArcheAge: "Never lucky". I swear, he says that whenever anything bad happens. Doesn't matter what it is. Got a weak price for trade packs? "Never lucky." Fell off a mountain when trying to fly your glider to the top? "Never lucky." Drove your car off a cliff into a river? "Never lucky." Three of you on a trade run (including him...) in a PvP zone jumped by eight members of a former guild who have declared a sort of war?(1) "Never lucky." Destroyed your best piece of armour trying to upgrade it? Guess what he says? (1) It's a long story that I won't bore you with, but central characters in this drama are the leader of that other guild and the leader and second-in-command of my current guild. It is complicated further by the said second-in-command being none other than SteveTheCynic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCT Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I can't say I'm never lucky - sold an Unstable Lightsaber for 40mil a few days ago, immediately bought one of the new packs on GTN for 18mil and the 4th pack dropped another Unstable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmorrisson Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 A big discount on name changes are needed not just 25% off Agreed. A solution is keep the Character/Legacy rename token at 750cc then have regular 50% (or more) discount sales alongside a occasional subscriber gift.
