Ha! My math was wrong it's 700 for 2 stacks, or 350pp for the 10 dosers! :P

Name changes were def part of classic. I am Surprised no one has suggested this yet, but on live it was simple they just made a sticky on the boards of every name change. Rep sticks but you could still personalize the toon. Or I know on live a few of my mules became alts and were stuck with dumb names like Lodez. I also don't get the slippery slope legal argument as log as peeps arnt paying RL cash. I forget what server I think it's KMRA. But they have an in game npc that will do this for a fee. So the extra leg worked is solved minus updating the boards, but that can be as easy as copy and paste with logs kept from the in game npc.

i recall that coming along later, like luclin or POP at least, not classic

not race. there are exp penalties associated with race. imagine i create a halfling warrior to get the exp bonus and then at level 60 switch to an ogre.

and don't even get started on updating faction for the new race...

the way faction tables work its same as if you were under illusion. So changing halfling to an ogre will get you exactly same BASE factions as if you were an ogre to begin with.

HOWEVER, it does creates an issue of - you could have never gotten faction X to Ally, cause you can only raise that faction with a quest, which requires at least Amiable to that faction to begin with, which is only available to halflings, so an ogre could never had that faction quest opportunity to begin with.

I'd pay 10k to have my race changed to froglok!

Hrm, well perhaps when you paid to have your name changed (in platinum, of course), your previous names could be indelibly written into the personal blurb beneath your equipment in the inspect window, that way a character's reputation could not be effaced. I'm unsure if this particular method could be readily implemented, but you get the idea.

even if people who do change their names are publicly listed somewhere and even shown that name on inspect - only 1% of players will actually go as far as looking up this lists to make sure to know if someone they hate have recently changed their name. Which means a known dickhead/ninja/ks/trainer, will be safe and sound after name change, even if his old and new name is listed all over the internet for people to find.

Gender changes on other hand pretty harmless... Minus the broken hearts in in-game marriages [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
