Name Changes and Vet Badges


Ad Astra

Question, and I think I know the answer, can a Hero/Villain name be changed once the Toon is active? I ask this because what if someone didn't like the name of their Toon and wanted to change it but because they are too high a level (40'ish), they don't want to delete and start over. I know some of the answers I might get such as: "you should think very carefully before you decide on picking a name because you cannot change it" or "it is impossible to change or modify a name once your Toon is developed".

Anyways, if this can't be done, then I would say this might be a good issue for the suggestion box because I am trying to think of any issues that might arise in being able to change a Toons name throughout the game? Maybe it would cause too much confusion among groups and SG teams if someone kept changing their name? I would say if it was a new feature, then allow it maybe once or twice only per Toon so it couldn't get too chaotic or be abused.

Finally, do some vet badges take longer to show up? I just recently passed my 6 month enrollment period and I still didn't get a vet badge. I did send a bug report in and they are looking into it. I am not sure if is based on actual calendar days or the actual day you signed up, which form me was Jan. 3rd, 2009.

Yes, but it's going to cost you money. You can buy rename tokens from the NCSoft store. There's a link to this in the character selection page when you log in.

Did you get your 3-month Vet reward? If so, it might take up to a day or two for the game to recognize that your past the date you should have received it. Other than that, support should be able to help you.

yes there is a known issue with the vet badges. and you should not log into that toon again until you have recieved word that it has been fixed. heres what neviene says about the vet badge problem:


[ QUOTE ]
We’re aware of a problem with certain accounts not receiving earned Veteran Rewards and/or gaining access to certain edition bonuses (like the Pocket D Teleporter or Rocket Pack) that were not purchased, or receiving more Veteran Rewards than they should have.

Some reports indicate that Trial Account limitations are being enforced on certain characters, with influence/infamy losses occurring through player trades, sales to NPC vendors or Auction House influence/Infamy redemption. If your character has been affected, please file a /petition or file a Support Ticket through our website with your account name, character name and Server. For debugging purposes, we ask that you do not log back into any affected character.

You have overthought the issue. Renames have long been available for a charge.

My level 41 defender (who I created back in 2005) had had at least 4 different names during her career so far as my perception of her changed.

On the Character Select screen, you can buy a Rename Token for $9.99. I advise checking to see if the desired new name is available before the purchase, since the Rename is used immediately upon logging in with the character getting the change.
