From the files of the unbelievable comes Sony Online Entertainments "continuing commitment to provide EverQuest players with the finest gaming experience on the web" to your rescue. They will now change up to 8 character names for you, for the modest fee of 50 dollars. But wait, there is more!! More stipulations that is. I suggest that you go to the official site and read the rules to get the full scoop of poop: Sonyhttps://store.station.sony.com/eq_char_renames/
Everquest - 50 bucks to change your character's name
- Thread starter damunzy
- Start date
Yeah, read that awhile ago. But considering the amt of effort, time etc ppl spent on building up their online avatars, I'd bet many are willing to pay the price.
Yeah, I still feel that Sony OE is a set of completely greedy bastards.
I like rule entry #2 for names you may NOT choose:
Combinations of words that produce an offensive result (e.g. Hugeaz, Tug Mcgroin).
How about Seymor Butts?

Like for power or your local tele.

I never liked Sony, but this is really the stupidest thing I've ever seen. And I though ppl who buy D2 Unique Items on ebay are nuts
I've read that people actually bought whole accounts, loot, gold and so on in that Ultima online game. Paid a couple of thousand bucks to the original player.
And Kefka, I myself work for a corporation. Listed corps are answerable to shareholders, not consumers. Sucks but true.

Well they didn't have to allow people to change their names. Its actually a great function in a way. It stops people from changing their name everyday unless they are very rich, which is a good thing because players changing their names can be annoying. Also if you attacked some people, they might want revenge, but if you had changed your name then it would be virtually impossible for them to find who you are in the game.

Boohoo. A company is making money by charging a price for fulfilling a demand. Don't blame the company. If you have to 'blame' anyone, try the consumers. It is a decent enough percentage of you lot who will actually pay $50 to change your name that make this a reality. I think those people are idiots, but more power to anyone who can convince them to part with their money without breaking any laws or ethics.
Why should games be a special area where profit seeking people should stay away? It takes a lot of money to make a game and get it on the shelf of your local software store. The people that put up that money want a return on their investment, same as you do when you put your money in anything from the bank, a government bond, a mutual fund, or a share of stock. They want as much return as they can get for the risk they are taking with their money. That's the way the system works.
