  Server change, but no name change? :fail:

  
  Changing names presents a lot of problems. Let's say a really well known person decides to change their name. People know they changed their name, but not everyone does. Someone sees that the well known person changed their name, and either changes their name to their old name, or makes a new character with their old name. Then, that person goes around doing bad things, or scamming people's items, or using the other person's good credibility to "sell NX". It really isn't as simple as it seems.

  Thing is, there can't be 2 players with the same name in the same server. Server transfer cards should force you to do a name switch if your current already exists in the new server. At least that's how i think the card works.
  
  However i do agree with you, name change cards would only bring trouble. But it can't be avoided when switching servers.
  
  As for same server name change, unless nexon keeps the old name in their database not allowing other people to get that name, but doubt it since it's nexon lol, it wont work

  This is true, however I wasn't even referring to the server change cards.

  Err....
  
  Most famous people have a "look"
  
  Like Moltenous in Mari has the red look, with a wand.
  
  If some guy changed their name to Moltenous, they'd have to be pretty rich to look like him.

  I don't have to look like someone to ruin their credibility.
  Notes, whispers, etc.

  Name changes are heavily debated upon and the debate is generally clear cut it's usually either really like or really dislike. I don't argue my point anymore because I've said them so many fricken times as it is. All i know is Nexon could make a lot of dough off it but the players being on/off about it and the work behind it makes it an unlikely happenstance.
  
  
  The server changes is a difficult situation that i wouldn't do myself. The loss of everything but stats just to avoid your old server? Losing out in a frick ton of in game cash you've spent? I'd have to have one fricken hell of a vendetta against someone or something in my server to ditch. As it is i'm rather fond of tarlach anyway.
