It's not as if I don't understand *HOW* to play evil. The best way to play evil is to be utterly convinced you aren't.

But when you're young, and you have to rely on goody goody empaths and clerics, it's next to impossible. There may be some out there not so goody goody, but I don't know who they are yet. Oh well.

And it's just plain impossible to be evil in the park. Period.

I'm so annoyed.

Hey! I may WANT to play evil but I do have my own particular brand of ethics to follow.

That's cheating to me... where's the fun in being even the littlest bit evil if you can't bring yourself to suffer any consequence?

I personally never intended to play an evil character, but Zarosa was perceived by others to be evil through his actions. Also with droppage in plat, you risk losing everything you have on you, every time you die.

I played plat for awhile, didn't like having nobody ever around so I quit.

If it was worth the extra money I would probably go back and give it another shot but I'm getting bored with gemstone again, took me about 3 weeks to title and now I'm all burnt out.

Did it ever occur to you that titling in 3 weeks might not be the smartest idea ever? Congratulations. You have yourself to thank for being burned out.

Thanks so much for your constructive post.

Your comment had nothing to do with the point of this particular thread, but I'm hoping some lurker out there found it helpful.

Very true. I'm re-evaluating how I want to manage a Platinum character. I've also reawakened my old character from prime who's been dormant for quite a while. So I may spend more time in Prime than I thought.

I would like to think some of you might know his name, but I won't mention it here . He dates back a ways.

I really like the fact that these boards exist. I know it gets less traffic, but regardless it's good for me as my account name is my main character's name and would be posted in the boards. Unlike many posters who make their characters public knowledge, I think anonymity goes a long way toward lending your posts some credibility.

I wonder how much trouble it would be to get my account name changed? I should look into it.

Also, another question in relation to Platinum: Are there ever any events in Platinum that require RL cash? I'm thinking not but I wonder what people currently think on the topic (if anything) or what any GM's have previously posted (or not) regarding the issue.

Are there just as many events in Prime that require RL cash as there used to be? I haven't been back long enough to form an opinion yet.

In terms of getting it done, all I had to do was to call the customer service and ask.

Everything was well until I discovered that I could no longer enter my house in Icemule. It is possible that since then (about a year ago) the bug was fixed, but I would imagine that it's not a priority when so many things need to be worked on.

In any case, I had to call and ask to change the account name back to what it was. I think there was something else that I couldn't do because of the name change, but I can't remember it now.

I would suggest creating a new account and transferring your character(s) across, unless of course you have a premium house or don't want to loose your premium account history (first year gift, etc.)

Welcome back and I hope you find much enjoyment in the game, be it Prime or Plat.

P.S. I don't think there are any paid events in Plat.

I didn't plan on that happening so fast, it just kind of did, you get on a roll and don't always want to stop. reg

We didn't have paid events before the price change. When plat cost $79.95/month we usually had most though not all of the paid events in prime ported over as "free" events in plat. Like Ebon's Gate.
Now that the price of plat has dropped dramatically, we have been informed that pay events in prime will likely also be pay events in plat, if we have them at all. Weddings in plat were free (although one still paid in game silvers). I believe now that they are the same cost as prime now. We are tending more towards having our own plat-specific merchant events now, thanks to our new plat guru, Khaladon. Last month we had a festival in the Ocatillo Zoo that contained some of the merchants who later showed up on the Ilyan Cloud and the Ale Festival.

It costs $5 to change the account name.

It costs $15 to transfer a character from one account to another.

I haven't had any problems like Tinkerbell did after changing an accounts name, so I'd just change the account name. reg

Ok, I'm tired. Off to bed.
