Topic: Character Transfer to Another Account for USD and Other Services

Is there such a thing as character transfers? Is it even possible for a GM to move a character?

Obviously it should be a paid service requiring USD if such a thing is possible. I personally would like to transfer many of my useful characters onto one account, it will also help me with C - I wouldn't have to buy C for multiple accounts or choose 1 account over another.

I'm sure many others have very disorganized accounts like I do, so I think this idea could generate more money for the owner(s). Also if Faldon starts to draw in new players** it's inevitable that new players will make the mistake of making junk characters they would later regret making, only to realize they can't delete their characters to make room for the roster they envision for themselves.


Other services:

I know in the past of one unofficial service that wasn't made visible on the illusory studios website, and that was for spell transfers between characters, and it costed USD. I would also pay for that. And there's probably many other areas of the game where the developers can bank on the regrets of players may have.

All that would have to be done is to determine whether or not X service can be done safely, create a methodology/standard operating procedure in executing the service for the administrative staff here, list the service on the illusory studios website, profit.

As far was character transfers- This service doesn't exist to my knowledge.
I get why someone would want to have this option. But frankly I think the hazards would outweigh the (limited) benefits. Especially when combined with effort to setup support and integration of the system. Just my two pennies.

Broadly speaking, other services, or some kind of cosmetic or "low game-play impacting" transactions might be interesting. Spell/skill transfers would fall into the the same Hazard to Benefits calculus above IMO.

But can we make it so we can delete characters please? The one named after my Exwife haunts me everytime I log in.

Out of retirement... for now.

Delete is about as dangerous as transfering characters. But I guess renaming a character (for a fee) is mostly a cosmetic thing.

I actually think character deletion should be possible.

But, many games don't allow renaming of characters because of the reputation hazards. Faldon is a pretty small community so it doesn't seem as likely right now. Name changing allows one to shed all the crumby things they've done and if you're a serial scammer or some kind of unscrupulous person it gives a way to reset reputation with other players and retain all your levels and stats.

I understand you could just create an alt account or log another chacter on, but doing that requires significantly more effort and time starting from zero.
