+1

 

next time i should post u each get a free 3 billion dollars. (that was sarcastic.) -1 but i like

 

+1 I have a town named anime and its medieval style and I don't even watch/know anime in real that well XD

 

I like this idea, but I think it should maybe be like 25k/30k to get it changed as it is only a small thing you are changing (so it shouldn't be as expensive as getting a portal or anything) But I would like to be able to do this as I didn't think of a theme for my nation before I named my towns, and I would quite like to change some of the names. +1

 

It may seem like a small thing however the process is far more work intensive than creating a portal.
We have to ensure rules are followed regarding members, delete and recreate the region, ensure and/or fix any already existing town features to match the new name.

It would probably be the most work intensive application offered.

 

It also leads to issues regarding existing contracts/agreements that people have regarding a town. Sure, there are possible work-arounds, but when I was thinking about this a few months ago, I couldn't come up with an efficient method of tracking name changes which (in my mind) would adequately protect players from being scammed and/or prevent confusion.

 

Those two posts basically summed up everything I usually criticise about suggestions of this kind. ._.

 

This would be a great thing to have, yes. But this has been suggested multiple times before, and if I recall correctly, it would cause a great deal of problems with portals and warps, and other things concerning the towns.

Well, I HAD a post to basically say why this couldn't happen but it seems Nicit and Dewsy beat me :p

 

While I like the idea, -1.


For you whom are wondering why, look below.

 

For reasons stated, -1. Although it would be cool, the best you got is rank up and buy other towns

 

-1 unless it costs $1,000,000. It is too labor intensive to be feasible - especially when someone owns a town with many many applications.

 

I digress on that price, I'd say it should be 100,000,000 ecd + 100 usd, and 100,000 ecd should go to the staff member whom did the work.

 

+1 It might be some work, but a I bought a town of this guy with the name Grimdale...

 

-1 wont happen it requires way to much work the only way to change name to my knowledge is to re make the region.

 

Well, (to my knowledge) not true. All info is stored as data, or all computers case, code (binary, but I am going to call it code for this.), the regions name is info, so it is stored as data or code, one could change the code, that would change the data, and that may change the name. but that would take alot of work, + all the extras of the town and idk how everything works so residents may no longer have perms. + if someone agrees to town rules, they would need to re-agree to the rules under the new name.

 

It's a shame the process is so complex it would have been a really cool thing to have as many people doesn't really think enough when deciding their town's name :/

 

That is why I am doing what I am now, I don't know what I want to name my town or do with it, so for now, I am staying resident, more people should do the same imo.

Edit, or let others buy them mayor for their town.

 

For reasons I as well as others have stated this will not be happening in the foreseeable future.

For now we will focus on implementing and implementing well current changes (portals to warps, etc)
