It’s better to sell/trade. Otherwise they get stored up on accounts that will never use them. Gives you a very low chance at getting something you’ve been looking for.

It is and isn’t.
There is a market for everything, getting the name you want in a restrictive naming system like warcraft has is really only marginally greedy because at least you have a chance to obtain it. As Boop said, an exorbitant amount of names get horded for years on barely active accounts for no reason other than the player wants them in their possession.
The only actually ‘greedy’ thing about it is that pricing is really only dictated by demand, meaning that certain players can still essentially sit on unused names for years depending on what they want for it. Which is their prerogative, I guess.
… anyway bump!
aren’t you fun at parties. it’s a community all the same with similar interests. true there are people that have multiple trial accounts and alt accounts and that might be taking it too far to some, but at the end of the day people socialise on this forum too, and frighteningly (i know this might worry you) we consider it fun, like rare hunting. On top of this, I’ve made several friends from doing this. So… if you don’t like it? That’s ok. Someone else will though!

If you consider it fun dangling names to a fish in the water you really need to get out more. Making friends out of other people bent on self-gratification in a video game at the cost of others fun is hardly real. Trying to be nice so someone might let you have a name at a discount or such.
I consider real friends the ones who work hard for themselves, they take pride in what they’ve accomplished on their own and not having to cheat or manipulate to get there, name hoarding is no difference.
But at the end of it all, name hoarding remains the same: a desperate ploy for individuals who can’t afford to play or they need to squeeze what they can over simple words.
Again one of the lowest levels of greed in a video game. The meaning of petty.

So what you’re saying is you’d like to buy one of my names? Send in-game mail and we’ll work something out.

I have Haidene, first high priestess of the moon. Her statue graced the temple of the moon in old Darnassus. Any player in Amirdrassil would kill for that name.
I have Jarasum, Grand Vizier of the Conservatory of the Arcane on Argus.
I have Vishas, human member of the Scarlet crusade. “Tell me…tell me everything. Naughty secrets. I’ll rip the secrets from your flesh.” Vanilla players are forever scarred by him.
These are just a few names i use that are more valuable and immeasurable than any other names and they aren’t for sale. I don’t need anything anyone else could ever have.
Ill sell “Kirin Tor” on the classic server if someone is interested. buccaneers.
Glad to hear it!
I absolutely loved how batssss crazy this Scarlet was! He actually made it into the Brawler’s Guild as a unaffiliated sadist.
Still looking for Bliss, Blissful (or a variant of Bliss), and Fabulous.
damn you really need that many names? sounds like hoarding to me. idk.

Out of curiosity, how much value would a price tag be for the guild “Scarlet Crusade” be?
4 mil/10 mil?
i have players bugging me and its annoying. I worked hard to get this name.
Honestly, it’s just personal preference. If you think your name/guild name is worth 4 mil, then stick with that unless you’re willing to go lower if you were to sell it. I personally would never spend 4 mil on a guild name.

Wyrmrest Accord has an entire 2013-era tumblr drama blog dedicated to it. You’re eating pretty well over there in regards to drama.
But also, it does really suck to sell someone a name, thinking it’s going to be actually used for a character, and then see that same person update the “selling” list of a post they’ve made on here to include that name. They’re not using it. They only wanted it to sell/trade for something of higher value than what they got it for. And it’s likely that the name is just going to sit on their account for years, unused, exactly like what would happen if the person had just deleted it and some random person got it instead.
This thread is a nice idea, but many of the people here are either extremely greedy or have outrageous expectations that their names that are the same quality as “Loveringly,” “Kissingest,” “Heartfully,” or other words found in sticky notes attached to a dictionary, will ever be traded for names like John or Maria or Sarah.

Wow talk about broke-back. Again rather pathetic to hoard names in a video game for profit. That kind of behavior reminiscent of three types of people.
A: Live in a trailer or 3rd rate apartment. Broke beyond measure yet work a 40 hour job or live on food stamps.
B: Under 18 and have no job or means of working, just living in a basement like environment.
C: 3rd World country like India, robbing for gold then selling it to stupid suckers for real money. The worst of the worst. But then they are living better than any wow player.
Honestly, hoarding words out of a dictionary is just sad. Impressed someone takes the time to read words out of a dictionary first.
Its WRA noone cares about that server unless they are horde and even then most horde migrate to MG, or play alliance more than horde because Alliance MG RP is so superior according to the Ravers. Naturally.
I live in a 300k house that’s in my name.
I’m in my 40s with a six figure job.
I think some people consider Ohio third world but it’s actually a nice state. I love it.
Seethe harder.
