Paragon Market Suggestion

Randomly had an idea about the Market. I think it would be pretty useful if there was a "Gift" system with the Paragon market. Some people cannot afford points/monthly subscription, or even some people cannot gain access to their master account due some issues. Have some way that you can sent things by sending it to the Global name (Like email) or with the account name. Some things such as powers and costume pieces cannot be sent through email. Would be pretty cool if something like that were to go into effect

Yes we'd all like this but here's the devs responses on the subject.

(rename, respec, char slot, transfer, some PP)" Posi: "We can't do it unfortunately. We know not everyone will use them. But if you have friends come in and they like go on Freedom and you have nothing on Freedom you can move over."

Furthermore if the devs ever did get approval to develop gifting, it probably wouldn't be done thru the Paragon store because the devs didn't create that software. They bought the program for the Paragon Store from another company and they don't have any legal right to make changes to it. The devs can't even do normal maintenance on the store. They have to let the other company come in and do it.

Ahhhh, gotcha. I did not know that one. I just thought it was a good idea but sadly it cannot be done friend can't access their master account and they are basically out of luck with new content. They will remain with two character slots, and no new powers. Ohh well

This pretty much describes how we ended up with the store we have.



You can guess which two the company chose.
