We now have to pay 10$ for every name change, what a tragedy.

They said "hopefully it's temporary". Let's not forget they said the same thing when they soulbound UTs.

We don't know for sure they're fixing it, they could be doing something else.

That rename trick still rely on account linking? Curious if they they just removed the linking from the 19.1 client and left the http posts working (still making renaming possible).

POST (HTTP) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The linking process is done via a post to the rotmg site. If they just stripped the linking ability from the client one should still be able to do the rename trick as long as the corresponding post still work.

" We removed the ability to link accounts between Kongregate / Web and Steam / Web. This was done to prevent issues for players getting accounts hacked / taken over via the linking. We are working on a solution to UNLINK accounts, more info on that tomorrow (1/14/14). "



They just happened to leave the temporary part out of the main post, so when we bring it up in a year, they can just tell us they never said it would be temporary.

There seemed to be a server restart, they probably did not just remove it from client.
