Default Ways to generate money toward's the servers.

Adding features like name changes, account transfers, race changes, etc etc. Think it would be a good idea and nothing dramatic changes with these type of changes.

Might have legal issues or something but I'm all for it. I forgot nobody can pronounce my name right and even know I've been Aprisle since 2001 I would prolly go for a name change

Wouldn't be a bad idea, Though if the servers are needing money I would donate to help out as much as I could. Race changes would be a interesting thing, as would names. Account transfers I don't know, That could probably be easily abused with RMT even more.

Yeah, legal issues. If you're pulling money out of an emulated server for adding paid products/services like that I can only imagine it could put P99 at risk.

Everything Sektor mentioned is avoidable.

- Name changes: Before naming a new alt I probably stare at the screen thinking for about 5-10 minutes. If I hate a name its usually by the time I've handed my guild note in, and delete and start over. If you get to level 40 and suddenly realise "Kungfumrmagoo" was a bad name for your monk then it's just tough luck, think hard and think early [You must be logged in to view images.

- Account transfers: I'd love to say I've stuck to the rule of "1 account, 1 character" but I haven't. That said, I wouldn't want to move my characters around or sell off one character to someone else. Avoidable with planning in any case, just a bit of extra time at the EQemu site and probably writing down account names/passwords.

- Race changes: If you roll an uncommon race/class combo I'd say that makes you more unique - why should you get the benefit of being a dark elf SK to then pay to be a troll SK with the extra regen etc once you reach 60. Dodging racial penalties would be commonplace [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Overall, we've all put weeks/months/years of our lives into our characters... I don't want to put mine at risk! If the server was set to come down because its making big losses to keep going, I'd click some google ads, I'd donate (again) to play here...whatever it took [You must be logged in to view images.
