Ability to buy a single username change

Pretty much title, ability to buy a name change, but not get any donor rank. It could cost under $200 for people who want a name change, but don't want to spend to much. I know some people are still going to say, "You can buy name changes, it costs $200". But still just a suggestion.

 

It's not going to happen. If you are unhappy with your username, you can always create a new account with the name you want as long as they do not interfere with each other and only one is active. For those who don't have access to Donor Lounge and want to see our ruling on this -

As of January 10, 2016, minor & major name changes are honored as described below.

Those eligible for a minor name change request are those who:

• Have donated a minimum of 5$
• Have a join date which dates to at least a year prior to their name change request
• Have 2FA enabled at the time of their request and pass an IP check (To enable 2FA visit https://www.sythe.org/account/two-step and for a guide see: here.)
• Have not previously changed their name via the minor name change system

Those eligible for a major name change request are those who:

• Have donated a minimum of $200
• Have a join date which dates to at least a year prior to their name change request OR are a $300 donor which are eligible for a name change after 6 months.
• Have 2FA enabled at the time of their request and pass an IP check (To enable 2FA visit https://www.sythe.org/account/two-step and for a guide see: here.)
• Have not previously changed their name via the major name change system
• Will be given a User Title linking back to your old name for anywhere between 6-12 months.

NOTE: One character name requests are not allowed and we can in rare cases deny a request without reasoning.
