How Do You Trade/Sell Names In A Secure Manner?
-
-
use a trusted mod like for most things that you can't trade in a single trade window. buyer gives arms to mod, seller coordinates name transfer with mod, mod completes the transaction on both sides for tip or fixed % of the trade arm total.
-
ok, but when you delete a character its still bound to the account for x amount of time
-
yes, when done properly you can transfer a name to a new account in 1 hour.
-
its 100% 1 hr? cause everyone ive asked it varies, up to 24 hrs
-
100% 1 hour every time when done properly yes.

k 2nd question. What if the buyer takes the name after an hour on one of their alt accounts and says they never got the name? would the mod pay the buyer or give back to the seller?

Id say if trade mod offers safe manner, he should pay out of his pocket in this case as guarantee or offer different way to do it.
I guess one option would be that the trade mod has extra account just for this, he lets the buyer have access on the particular account (with char named what ever hes buying) and him only to delete old char and make new on other account, it could be agreed that after the char is deleted the buyer has gotten the name (at little risk)

Same goes for the seller taking it on an alt before the buyer can I guess….

There’s no safe manner. I and many other can just make a tiny piece of software that tries to constantly register the username until they get. I could do it for Balthazar since it’s currently sitting at 600a lol. And given how servers are handling the thing, all you need is to have the account creating the name on char select and just an auto clicker on the create button(so no code involved) at the end of the screen would work. Then you just let it run for days or whenever they will do the transaction. Given some people run bots 24/7 I don’t see why they would not just do this since it’s already estimated by the bids.
Ps: I hope whoever wasted their time to log in on release, just to reserve names to sell, not to sell any. -
yup
id love to know how the mods on here authorised the sale of names and how its guaranteed. any mods care to explain?
i do have names id sell, but idk how it can ever be "safe" -

I thought they have anti spam against this? I tried to add a name as a friend, then delete, add again 5 times in a row and then I got network error and couldn’t add it again until I logged out.
probably the same on char creation? -

probably the same on char creation?I can give you technical details.Then have X accounts with a sufficient enough interval in between requests and have that small script that even free gpt model can give you in bash, do it in alternating manner. Hell if you have 6 accounts you can probably even do it in parallel with say 2 account/interval or if you want a constant flux, just run them sequentially
It’s just a clicker at the end.
Sounds so cringe to jump on an update that introduces names just to gatekeep them for virtual cash 🤢

Yeah true, I forgot people have more than one account
