You want to charge me money to change my name ingame?

[RustyCanadian]

Steam lets people do it for free, I did not realise it costs you money to interact with your servers my mistake

Go pick money up off the ground in the street if you want it so badly Trion.

Pst, Name-tags cost around 70k flux on the market at the moment.

If you notice, what Steam does for Trove is launching the Glyph launcher then you hit play to get into Trove. Trove is technically not connected with Steam so it's apart from other games. You can also download the Glyph launcher itself to play the other Trion World games.

I get it in games like TF2 for example, you can change your profile name on your Steam account then it would apply since TF2 is basically only run by downloading Steam and well, it has VAC severs which is also run by Steam. For Trove, it does not follow that along with the other Trion World games.

Even other MMORPGs on Steam like Tera nor Aion would mostly likely behave the same as Trove since those games I listed were pretty much released by having their own launcher rather than using Steam. Steam for me seems like a great way to count your hours.

If you're going to get upset over this, then go play TF2 or a game that allows you to change your name by changing your Steam profile name.

Tf2 = Absolutely nothing like trove
The only similarities is that combat, shooting, and swinging exist in both games

I was making the point of the corperate giant that Steam or (valve whatever you want) is and they let me change it for free, the fact that Trion is a growing company and they want to charge me is awful and before anyone says its a money issue its not I have plenty of money to spend but to change my name? sure it cost money in real life but online forget it and I will make that point if any of my friends ask if Trove is worth playing.

I'm not trying to compare. I'm using TF2 as an example.
If you actually read the entire thread, he's upset over how you have to pay real money to change your in game name. For TF2, you can pretty much change your name anytime you want to through changing your Steam profile name.

If he wants to change names all the time, I gave him a suggestion.

I find it hard to believe an alias system is impossible to make free for something not connected to steam

We CAN do it so we know it can be done, it's just not done for free for some odd reason

Thats what i'm saying its just plain scummy, Microsoft and Sony do it on there respective platforms and if Trion wants to be apart of that they diserve all the hate for it.

That's why you pick the ign you want to stand by with. It's like that with a lot of other games. I remember it clearly states to pick the name you to want to use to avoid changing your name again when you first create your account. I actually like how Trion implemented a name tag in Trove because all the other MMORPGs I've played, there's not really a way to change your name but to start fresh by making a new account.

I was apart of the early alpha and was given cosmetics and whatnot for being apart of it I refuse to make a new account for a name this should be free..

There's already a lot of whiny children complaining about Trove actually on their recent changes. Not the name tag though. You're the first thread I have seen who complained about the name tags.

I respect you for not bashing me head on for the thread aswell ive seen the hate, and my friend wanted to play again but I said "have you seen the microtransactions?" so were most likely not comming back I just want them to atleast change the name tag to support the gold block currency (sorry its been a long time)

I agree with him though
It wasn't a big enough issue to post about it without any provacation
But yes, I do agree that it is both unneccasary and mildly scummy

I'm glad to have grabbed both of yours attention on this matter and thank you guys for keeping it cool and not mega derailing this thread I noticed you guys have a large sum of hours on the game too so the fact that you guys can see this as a problem means it requires change hopefully we can spread it far enough for a dev to understand aswell.

Microsoft will let you change you name but they charge for it, it isn't free and last I looked it wasn't even that cheap. I don't know about sony but if they offer it I would assume they do as well.

Steam is the execption, not the rule for easy name changing. On fourms and other sites you frequently need to subit a request for a name change, if its even possible/allowed on them.
To date every single MMO I have played that offers name changes charges for them and they are almost never cheap, TF2 is more of a Steam extenstion than an MMO.

Sorry, should have worded it diffrently I know they charge money for the name changes.

[Eldric Liaz, Use ⇌]

Every mmo ever always charges for a name change if the feature is available, and alot don't even HAVE the ability to name change. This system exists to keep better check on player profiles in the databases in case of rollback or glitches in game that would cause loss of in game items and make it easier to see what the player had in items before errors occurred and caused the losses. I've had items vanish in marketplace before and a managed to get my items restored within hours due to them able to check their database under my username. The system exists for that, and the ability to track those who exploit or attempt to hack the game as well. Tf2 had the ability to name change freely yes, and that resulted in L M A O box having a feature to constantly name change so people couldn't report you, because it would mimic other current players names.

So before you start bashing on a system, try to ask why it exists to understand the functionality of it first rather then make a thread and name calling Trion.
