changing class now has a credit option why not make changing names credits too?

 Because changing classes actually gives you more use than changing name. Changing class can help you get a different class that you can play better instead of sticking to the same one you may not be good at. Changing names is purely a luxury feature that serves no real purpose.

That and name changing is one of those premium trophies.

 Also may I add that name is stored in the database so you own 2 names? Your old one is reserved for you if you wanna switch back and your new one.

 @Trans, have you ever changed back to a previous name? If so, did you have to pay the same amount of varium to revert back to a reserved name?

That said, I think a name change should have a Credit cost as well as varium. In addition, there should be a drop down menu option that displays a player's reserved names currently not in use and switching to any reserved name should be FREE.

Name change, buddy slot, inventory slot purchase and things like that are varium features and will probably stay varium because they just take up Epic Duels database and don't give any advantages in PvP.

Let us see,

The purpose of varium is to give you access to good gear and facilities EASILY, not exclusive so their should be a credit option for like 80k or something?

Ps: those who know me I'm a varium guy.

If it's something that's not going to help you in battle, then why should it be varium? Varium should be used for things that help you in battle so why shouldn't a name change be available in credits? It should be available in credits but maybe it should have a high price?

 @shadow You've got it backwards. If it's going to help you in battle then it shouldn't be varium only. A P2W game would be focused highly on buying things with real life money to get an advantage. If ED was truly P2W then Class Change would still be Varium only, there would be no credit enhancements, bots wouldn't have credit options and non varium gear would be way farther behind varium gear.

It costs the ED staff money to store all the names that people have when they change names because the names are reserved and can't be used for anyone else. You also have to consider there are only so many options on making a character name as it is and with varium actually having a limit on it(whereas credits you can get upwards of millions without spending a penny) then it's unlikely that the name potential will decrease greatly as time goes on with people buying names. With credits though that option is open to anyone and would cause way more names being taken from potential future players.

Playing ED and getting lots of credits requires dedication and work towards the game. It isn't an easy job to get 100,000's of credits.
Varium should be spent on enhancements, class changes and buying new gear to help you in-game. Instead of spending on a name change you'll have enough varium to enhance a couple of slots. So name change should be available in credits.

There can be a limit of the number of names you can have. Maybe a maximum of 2 or 3? This way names would also be available for future players. There could be a limit and name change could be bought for a high credit price (e.g. 70,000)
