I'd much rather see the devs put their resources into developing cross server teaming then transfers and renames won't be needed.

Unless they switch over to NC coins it's unlikely anything will be sold for less then $5 due to credit card processing fees.|

Transfers: 1 for 2.99 2 for 4.99 5 for 9.99 Renames 1 for 1.99 2 for 2.99 5 for 5.99 After getting free xfers (and renames) while the 50% off sale was tempting, I would prefer lower prices.  |

I *believe* the point of the prices is to be high enough to prevent it being "overly used," but low enough to be attractive for occasional use. And they are much cheaper than most MMOs, TBH - with the occasional sale coming up to make them moreso. |

I understand wanting them cheaper, but they're really not bad now - and I don't think right offhand that they'll get as low as you're asking.

What, do we have to explain EVERYTHING? Sheesh... See, if cross server teaming is introduced, then the value of the name token goes down by some value of pie. Pie, once you carry the three, is then replaced by cheesecake, which takes numerous fruit (and other) toppings. Of course, you then need to work off the cheesecake, which makes you tired - too tired to bother playing or, for that matter, going in to decide on a new name for the character. Since you're too tired, you dont' buy it - therefore, it ends up not being needed. |

It's all in the cheesecake.
tl;dr version: Heck if I know why he said that.

Pretty much my feelings on the matter.. I've seen server-transfers as high as around $50 on other MMO's.

Transfers:
1 for 2.99
2 for 4.99
5 for 9.99
Renames
1 for 1.99
2 for 2.99
5 for 5.99
