Guild Wars 2

locoman.1974:

No idea whether it would be allowed or not… but don’t think it would be practical either. If someone is interested into buying a name, it means it’s a popular… and you have no control over when a name becomes available after you delete your character (it’s never right away), so if you advertise it publicly means that everyone will know you’re deleting that char and that name will become available, so they’ll be hammering the character creator to try to get the name before whoever bought it (either because they really want the name or just to grief you/whoever bought it)… and if they do, well, there’s nothing neither he nor you could do.

Yeah I understand what you mean about that, but I just tried to delete one character of mine with a specific name and I could create another character with the same name 1 second after, so as soon as I delete it becomes available.

This being said, I could make a specific hour to delete the character so the person who will buy it could get it at that specific time.

Even though yeh, its not pratical I know.

Thanks, I guess I have to wait, I really wanna make sure before making any infraction, but their support is so overwhelmed right now it might take a while longer…

but I’m not trying to sell for real life money. its for game gold…

and I am asking because Arena Net is very strict, and I know they don’t support this or they would add an option to sell names in the trading post for money, but doesn’t mean its ilegal.

Greetings

So, I have a name that I was able to create when the game launched and I’ve heard that some people could be interested to buy if I adverstise it.

Thing is, I know there is no safe method to sell the name I have stored, The idea is…
SELL NAME “X” for “x” gold.

Of course someone needs to trust me to give me the money first, but providing someone does, I would then delete the character with the name in question and he would be able to create that name for himself.

The real question is, is it ilegal to advertise or to sell my name for game gold?
I know ArenaNet for sure doesn’t support this for sure, but I don’t know if its ilegal, and if it’s not I really wish I could do this, cause I know someone else would make a better use of the name and I could use the extra gold.

I contacted support but its been over a week and I got no answer yet due to the massive amount of reports they’re having.
All I got was some automatic answers.

So if someone from A.Net could answer here I would appreciate.
