Same thing with geno_zh.  This isn't news considering I just got an email alert about it.

I did know that, but so what?  I am one that likes to rotate through a lot of alts.  I always have toons under level 6.  Just because they are under 6 doesn't mean I want to rename them?

Again -- there is no good reason for this policy -- names are not a real issue.

Well it is a good idea if you leave the game and don't intend on returning.  How would that be fair to someone who is playing the game and would like that name, and you have no intention on returning?  Really, this is adequate considering the level cap they put in place in regards to taken character names.  In my opinion...

Well that's good to know.

They wouldn't get the money that they do to upgrade and make the game fun for us.
15 dollars really is not much to pay a month.
I think it's worth every penny and the game should never be free.

Agreed.

Side note:

I'm glad that there have been improvements to the Freedom server in City of Villains.  The last couple of weeks have been very laggy in the public map area.  However, it seems to be a lot better now.

I agree that I would be more concerned with the in-game content rather than advertising. Although advertising is what keeps active players active as well. I'm just concerned that too much of this redundant video/audio/text/voice content websites are becoming a social norm. I'm 20 and I'm concerned that this never-ending evolving technology, such as MySpace, will get out of hand and people will become too dependent on these media services. This is kind of branching off to another topic. This topic is about PlayNC capitalizing off of people/users' Internet activity habits. I'm glad I'm not the only person who feels this way though.
