How do I get a name change token?
Under extremely limited circumstances, an admin may be able to give you a free one.
However, most people who want to change their name will need to purchase a Masquerade Mask and activate it in their inventory to place a name change token on their account -- this is essentially one-time permission to change your name.
Once you have your name change token, you can change your username.
Why do you charge for name changes?
- To discourage frequent name changes. Changing your name should be something you think carefully about. Online, you don't have a face for people to recognize, you just have a name. It can be very confusing and disruptive for digital social circles to have people changing their names frequently.
- A name change effectively means you are tying up two names at once for at least six months.
- The confusion and occasional complexity of name swaps can mean more work for admins and mods.
