Can you change your Ign?

So I was looking at the cash shop and I remember way back when there was a way to change your ign and which world you would play in, and it would update on the next server check, but I don't see them anymore.... are they still available?

I think world transfer was removed because people were buying loads of easily resellable items (white scrolls) in a world where they didn't cost much (Scania), then going back and selling them in their own world.

I *heard* that world transfer was also removed due to something involving duping.

I never had the desire to change any IGNs but I definitely miss World Transfers.

[quote=BobR]My guess is two possibilities:
1- Too many scammers changing their names after scamming hordes of people so they can start scamming all over again with an unrecognized name.

yeah but the scammer could just make a new char to get a new name, and transfer all their godly equips to that lumi and level it up really quickly (trust me leveling with lumi to 80 is as easy as putting blocks in holes)

[quote=dexman]why is that?[/quote]

My guess is two possibilities:
1- Too many scammers changing their names after scamming hordes of people so they can start scamming all over again with an unrecognized name.
2- The name change process has to be done manually by a Nexon employee, not some automatic process, and it was costing them more than it was worth to have a real person sit there and change all the names. This would also explain why a lot of times the name changes didn't go through right away, if the person who was supposed to do them had to do something else. (This could also apply to world transfers.)
