    Post Name transfer kits?

    Bit of a random post but:
    name selling is not allowed by STS, as it has a high risk for scams/drama.
    Giving names to friends/transferring names to another character is also risky since some people use bots to try and snipe popular names when they are being changed.

    I've been wanting to give a name to a friend but don't really like the risks involved. So I was wondering whether a solution like this is possible;
    A new item called a "name transfer kit", costing 15-30 plat or something, where:
    1. you can use it to store the name of your current character in the kit, renaming the current character to something random, and storing the name in the kit (with the kit somehow showing what name is in it).
    2. You can then trade the kit to anyone, where if they open it they get renamed to the name put in the kit.
    If this is possible, we could avoid people getting scammed with name trades/people having their names stolen, and potentially prevent a lot of drama.

    I actually have no idea whether this is easy to actually implement/something people would want but figured I'd suggest it anways, curious to hear what people think.

    The game is not active enough for you to worry about someone botting a name. It would be very difficult to steal a name that you are coordinating the gifting to another person. What you suggest would make selling and buying igns legal.

    Wait until a quite time for activity in game and coordinate the gifting of the name. Good luck

    Is selling nicknames illegal? I think this would facilitate the sale of nicks so I don't think it's a good idea
