View Full Version : The value of a name

I was wondering if there has been a known instance where someone reserves a name on the server and buy/sells it or a large amount of platinum.
For instance if one were to have the name of "Cloud", how much do you guys think I could get for it?
Edit: I do not actually have the name "Cloud" for sale, in case anyone makes the mistake of making an actual offer.

100 pp for cloud name.
Not sure if there's any real market for names, I've seen them auctioned before and I've seen a few purchased however, I'd say it treads awfully close to illicit activity.

Not illicit though, because they delete the character on their account to free up the name, and you make the character on your own account.
No buying/selling of characters happens.

I am sad. I thought this was going to be a thread about how important it is to have a character name that you love.

Or a moral lesson about about someone who took his or her name for granted. Also disappoint.

I'd buy back the name "Swish" on blue. Used to be mine, sold the account when it was okay to sell accounts.
Still got it on red tho :p

It is. How much platinum are you willing to pay for a character name you love?
I'd like to get some price estimates. Don't worry I'm not going to drop some uber awesome name and start a bid war so you don't have to hold back.

It was never ok and big fuck you for being part of the problem. Just because it was not against the official rules, it does not mean its ok to sell accounts. RMT scum.

I tried selling the name rights to "Fail" around early 2013 iirc. Didn't try very long, I was intent on using it unless I got an outrageous offer (which I didn't). A couple offers around 10k, one for 20k, but that was about it. People are hesitant (and rightly so) for spending large amounts of platinum for a potentially sketchy transaction like buying a name.
