I had no idea it was the previous dev who made that choice, and just cause 1 person made a choice of charging $20 for donor transfers doesn't mean it needs to be repeated.

 

I understand that its an alternative, but if im not wrong correct me if i am, Matt has access to certain logs which allows him to change account info, can he not change the usernames there too? As I said correct me if im wrong, it just seems like an easier option, takes less time, and theres no need to transfer all kinds of stuff and use commands.

Yeah, we can change names, copy over character files, and the like. But that causes other issues with hiscores and other api calls. Their method is "A" work around, but I would not go with a work around. I would rather spend the time to make an actual solution, but I'm not personally sure all that would need double and triple checked to know how to do this PROPERLY, and therefore it's not a priority for me to support at the current time. This is why I'm entirely against this in it's current form. If we're going to do it, we'll do it properly, and exactly how people would expect it to go. This is not a solution in my eyes.

The way its described doesn't exactly seem like a "name change" you're basically just transferring stats to a brand new account with said name, so you lose all the time played,loyalty points,vote points, and then gotta do item transfers or requests for untradables, is this the only way of doing it? Or can we change the current username of said account without all the transferring? Plus 20$ just for a name change is a little pricey, i could see it being maybe $5, i dunno anywhere you work for 20mins and make $20, I dunno just my two cents.

Tbh this is the reason I'm against it, it does not meet the existing expectation of a name change.
