Change your name in Everquest *wow*
I don’t actually play Everquest but I read this news story over at IGN PC and decided it had to be mentioned purely because how ludicrous it sounds. Apparenly the good folks at Sony Online have decided that if you meet the following critera you can change the name of one of your characters
1)Your character must be level six or higher
2)You can only rename your character once every six months
3)Your request will not be processed while you have an existing corpse in the world
Now you might be thinking - “There’s nothing wrong with that, this guy is insane” - you would probably be right, but if Sony Online charged $US49.95 for this “service” (which infact it does), then you might happen to agree that this is indeed milking the players just a tad too much. However I suppose if players are really “addicited” to Everquest and they’ve managed to pay the increased monthly fees then they’ll have no problem coughing up $90 Australian for the name change. Now I must admit that I’ve never played a MMORPG for any serious length of time, but would any of our readers actually pay this amount of money just to be able to change your name? INSANITY I tell you!

That is so pathetic, I thought them charging to move a character around servers was a joke but that takes the cake. It scares me to think how much they wil be able to shaft the users of that starwars game they are making lol 100 bucks u.s to change your lightsabre colour.
