How does naming work for our villians and npcs? What happens if we want to use a name that's already taken by a player? For example, I might want to insert some of my own characters into an arc, is this possible? Obviously we won't necessarily own a particular name across all servers so how would this be dealt with?

thx

1) Do we get the difference in costs from our base rooms when they switch to new price or should I break down my base now and use the prestige when I13 goes live to rebuild at a lower cost. I understand the issue of the telporters so will rebuild all of them and hold them until I13 goes back.

I asked the same question and had yet to see a definitive answer so I went ahead and installed TC (never did it on my new computer) and checked out an old base I had there. When I sold rooms I did, indeed, get back the full amount I'd originally paid. There seems to be no reason to tear down your base before the patch goes live.

I plan on redoing my base but it's good to know instead of having to destroy my teleporters I can just create a new temporary holding room, move them into that and then replace their old room w/ the cheaper version and still see a full realization of the price reductions.

I just want to confirm one thing. From the comment on plot size ("to recoup plot costs you can 'buy' the existing plot you are on and receive the difference") I'm guessing at the answer but I'd really like to know for certain (I've read through the entire thread and haven't seen this referenced specifically).

Will refunds for rooms and items be available AFTER I13 goes live? That is, if I don't touch my base before the update, will I get a full refund when I sell things after the patch goes live?

I don't have a huge base or a very active SG, and I'd be perfectly willing to rebuild my base but I don't want to lose my crafted items (TPers anyone?). So if I can throw down a new, cheaper TP room, move the TPer into that room and sell the old room for the full amount I originally paid, I'm good with that. However, if I have to tear down my base before the patch goes live to get my full prestige back I'll be somewhat more frustrated.

Thanks for any responses and thanks to Plasma for this thread. Very useful info.
