Why not release in active names for plat purchase?
- Allow names to be bought with a certain amount of plat.
- When purchased, the buyer's name auto changes, the rename fee could be included with the purchase fee.
- If player decides to delete the character, the name gets recycled to be obtained again, thru plat purchase.
- If a player gets the ban-hammer, the name(s) gets recycled back to the list of plat purchase names, after a complete investigation into that account is finalized.
I know some players like to swap names often. The following could be implemented:
- Allow players to swap names with their account alts, like we can when we select titles. There would be no platinum renaming fee, use consumables for this change.
- If player deletes a character to free up the name, the name would get recycled to be added to the list of plat names for purchase.
This may help some with name hoards. Maybe not entirely, but names have been in the past for resell, a method similar to the above could help prevent this.
(Nothing is fool proof though.)
