Stuff like costumes or name change vouchers nothing that would be Pay2win just like costumes on startreck online that dont effect the ingame combat or economy balance something that would [A]Let me contribute some cash through steam and [B] Let me have a little bit of a show moment on holidays like on Halloween have face paint or a mask and [C] I want to change my in game name as I have ranted many times

Literally would pay $20 dollars on steam for name change

I think on the name change, it will be the same answer as you got last time. Yes, but it is still somewhere in the future.

On buying add-ons, it sounds a little like what was being talked about for what VIP subscription might get. The devs are still working out what is going to be in the VIP. They want it to be fun but fair to everybody.

I would Literally pay $2500 to prevent this feature from creeping into this game, I like that its a smaller community and it can police itself, I like that people who raid the guild chests and steal from other plays, or grief people cannot hide behind a name change. From someone who has threatened to grief people, and in particular lower levels... i think if you do this kind of stuff you should not be able to just change your name and have it go away. Actions have consequences, and being able to just constantly wipe the slate clean will lead to people doing shit like stealing everything from a guild chest and just changing their name and joining a new guild. Or some whiny child throwing a tantrum and griefing n00bs, in low level dungeons then just changing their name and pretending it never happened.

I have to agree with this to a point. I'm wondering if it might be beneficial if a player's older names showed up when you inspect them.

Having already seen a few too many character names referencing genitalia, things one might do with genitalia, stuff that comes out of genitalia and other such garbage, I'd really love to see some names be changed, but more on the lines of a mod action than player choice, for the same reason Mesk gave

I'm fine with player name changes. I think the majority of them are prompted by players just being unhappy with the name they picked - maybe they thought of a better name, or want to turn their throwaway alt into their main, or decide the name doesn't fit their character anymore for whatever reason. I don't think there's any need to penalize that because some minority of players might also pay for a name change as a griefing tool. If someone's that into griefing, they can just roll new alts as needed to bum fresh guild invites.

If I paid for a name change, I wouldn't want my old name to be visible. The whole point of the name change would be that I dislike the old name and don't want it associated with my character anymore.

What about just showing the Display Name from the Account when you inspect?

Vulgar names break rules in the Code of Conduct and the EULA, if you see a name that is inappropriate, please file a abuse report using the form under the support (! icon) button on the top of the right hand side menu. The devs will decide and take it from there.

I tend to agree with Beta and Mesk here to be honest, I have played so long It's nice knowing many, I have had no issues with anyone though, but I'd still like to know who was who.
I'd also to be honest like to see Alts linked to main characters also, mine are.

The old name does not have to be easily visible, if there was a simple chat command just to check players name history for those that have blacklists etc, not that it's something I'd ever do.
Or a command to show the other characters on that account.

The vulgar names don't bother me either really, though as others have said I think it's against the terms.
Was also a period where folks would create throw away alts with names very similar to established players just to cause shite on global , that sucked.

The writing in this game is already pretty vulgar, so, who cares.
