Sell Fantasia on the Mogstation

[BinnyBees]

There's too many pages to go back to read.

What exactly were the steps you took to ensure you could get your Fantasia renewed, if you don't mind?

It's been at least 2 months since I've used mine and I've been unhappy with my race change since I did, but didn't think to go to customer support assuming nothing could be done and that it was my fault... :/

Greetings everyone. Some of you probably remember me attempting the item restore policy while already being 3 months since the fantasia was used. I am happy to say that as of today I just got the Fantasia on the mail from the GMs. It took only 1 week as opposed to some people experiencing 2 weeks of wait.

This confirms that the 10 day restriction is indeed not necessary and that the fantasia can be restored no matter how much time has passed since its consumption. I will be carefully and patiently playing around with several alts to make extremely sure that I make no mistakes with the fantasia.

Anyone not wanting to wait for fantasia to be implemented months from now can try their hand at the item restore policy. I followed the instructions provided by other people provided earlier on this thread and it worked perfectly.

likely also depends on if you get a nice GM, or one that strictly 100% follows the policy

Um...they've already stated they want to allow name changes.

It even says so in the quote on the very first page.

Unfortunately that is incorrect. The quote was probably modified to mess with people. A direct response from them overrides speculation on some forum page.

They clearly didn't answer you on this one sorry, they've never said they WOULDN'T. Just that they'd have to consider it very carefully due to the nature of it. Bear in mind that GM's / Support Representatives aren't always 100% aware of future options and are usaully only aware/informed of the current options available, the response you received was most likely a 'Do we have this service available now?' answer.

Oh yeah they were specific. I asked specifically if they were considering it. The following was their reason for the "no". At least they gave a reason. Apparently the blacklist system is very specific on names, not accounts. So all someone has to do is change their name even slightly and they can continue harassing you. This is why I wish the blacklist was account specific and not name specific. And it is possible. In every other MMO I play, if you block someone, you block them regardless of what character they are on XD

"...The reason we will not be doing name changes is due to security concerns. However you are always more than welcome to create a new character."

However at least we're getting fashion slots eventually and I think that is awesome The fantasia being available is cool, also, but I am totally stoked about the fashion slots

No luck so far, ;--;

Would seem to be the case.

It really depends on the GM you get. I've constantly got a negative response from my attempts, even though I was very close to the limit and provided all the necessary information politely. The first messages from SE were incredibly messy aswell... and it's been about a month and a half now.

Glad you got yours though. And anyone that has managed it.

I stand corrected, I got mine.

I stand corrected, I got mine.

Finally, after pestering for weeks lol.
Grats.

uhm... why not just make the Aesthetican able to perform gender and race changes too? (for a higher fee of course, maybe even seals and with a cooldown).
Plastic surgery exists irl too. That'd completely negate the Fantasia potion but maybe make the potion include a name change too instead.

Yoshi-P is worried that making it something easily obtainable will allow people to change it constantly, so offering it as a gil exchange in-game would mean people could change quite a lot.

They want to consider their options carefully and they appear to have gone for the cash-exchange option this time around as it's the most limiting one, people aren't going to pay £20 a week to change their character.

That's why he included "with a cooldown", I assume. Limiting it to once per week/month would be good, and its not like the change would really affect anyone but you. Selling Fantasia for real world money is fine, but a gil based system could easily work too.

It's a bit strange to me that people would want to change their race constantly, though. 2 Fantasias would be enough for me if I ever wanted to just experience being whatever race that isn't Lalafell. Maybe it's just because I haven't had that urge yet (though the camera can be quite annoying, admittedly :P) and still have my Fantasia, but I can't see someone being so indecisive that they buy like... 100 Fantasias and use one a day. Unless, of course, you have nothing better to do with your $/gil - but then the change is only really affecting you anyway.
