Name,race,gender and Profession changes are here.

The only thing that really keeps this game viable is the long term players. They pay every month, 40, 50, 100 bucks, and they've been doing it for years. This change undermines what they've worked for, the character of their being, etc, because now anyone can in 3 steps turn some shitty ass toon into whatever they want it to be, and white wash away the name to a point that most people won't notice. What's the point of being that loyal customer? This is annoying and disruptive of any kind of sense of immersion. It weakens their most valuable commodity for a relatively small amount of dollars. This is why it's a bad business decision: a very small profit at the expense of some portion of their most reliable revenue stream.

Character sales and scripting can be equally as disruptive (Nelemar) to immersion as this. If someone wants to throw the sheckles to change their name and change their profession I have no problem with it, much like I have no issue with character sales and scripting (so long as you don't kill me with your script). There are plenty of people and ways to stay immersed in this game but I think plenty of things already exist that shatter the vale and this being added while to some is annoying, to me is no different than those other lots.

Some people buy nice cars, some people buy goats and some people buy profession potions. Who am I to stop their hussle if thats their ish.

As a chronic re-roller, this sounds pretty nice.

A little funny Rendena gets banned or deleted or whatever and then all these potions come out.

If I ever see,

Also here: Kerl the mage.


I think i'd quit a moment later.

Still idiotic. This just further devalues this game. In this game where longevity of character was a hallmark, it just got thrown in the shitter.

100% agree with this

[Gelston]

To be fair, almost every modern day MMO has these options. For a lot less money.

Disagree. The folks most likely to use the potions are folks that: 1) would have just left the game or 2) are mostly mechanically oriented and you were not noticing or interacting with them anyway, or 3) would have just bought a capped character and did what theyt will do now. None of them were impacting your experience before and they won't now.

I understand GS players are a conservative lot and by definition are less tolerant of change though.

On the other hand one of the reasons I for one still play this ancient game is because it is not like most every other MMO out there.

So SIMU's staff are a liberal lot that force their beliefs down their conservative customers throats instead of listening to their customers?

I think it's more about Simu's dumpster fire track record regarding "change" that people are less tolerant of, rather than the concept of change itself.
