    I hope that you have been considering the feedback from players who are not helped by free race change tokens and discounted name change tokens. Many long time players have investments in their characters that go beyond math.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno Will we need to have "Any race any alliance" upgrade in order to change, let's say Nord into Khajiit with those tokens?

    I would also like an official clarification for this - because I can already see the threads of people who don't realize race change != any race w/out that. And if they are alliance locked then it would be a nice gesture to discount the Adventurers Pack along with the Race/Name change tokens in the crown store.
    Thanks a lot for that!

    From what is being said, these tokens are no different from the ones currently in the game. You cannot bypass any locked restrictions with a token. You need to unlock the ability to use any race any alliance first

    Except that "Any Race, Any Alliance" does not work on an existing character if you change their race.
    I've tried it.
    Alliance is still locked to what it was when the character was first created.

    "Any Race, Any Alliance" only works on new characters, during the character creation process.

    Right - I'm not talking about changing alliance - but if a player doesn't have ARAA they can only change races to one of the other two races in their current Alliance with a standard race change token. Judging by comments on the Reddit thread people don't know this and are talking about changing Dunmer to High Elf, etc.

    That's why I think clarification on that would be helpful - avoid future upset.

    So, you actually listen to feedback, that's great.

    Should I assume you're also going to drom the nonsense that is removing stealth from the Bosmers and replacing it by a stealth detection that has no use whatsoever ?

    ... in addition to granting 3 Name Change Tokens...

    That is frigging AMAZING! The race change tokens are just extras for me I s'pose, but the name change tokens are where it's at. Epic move, ZOS.
    Long term filthy casual.

    I'm a bit disappointed but I honestly have to say thanks.

    It IS less than I hope but it's not as bleak as it seemed to me.

    I will be able to change some characters to what I would've done if those were the racial passives that were active when I started playing.

    Again, thank you.

    Ohh and can you include appearance change tokens in the sale.


    I know appearance doesn't change the gameplay so I don't expect you to give them away for free but a reasonnable sale would be very appreciated.

    From someone who just quit playing Black Desert, a game with a disgusting predatory monetization model, you guys *** rock.

    I was happy we got a single race change but 3 race and also 3 name changes on top of that? That's listening to your players and customers and really creating value for yourselves as a brand.

    Looks like our feedback did some good. Not as many as we wanted, but MUCH MUCH better than only one.

    Thank you, ZOSsy poo for listening and compromising, back to zero complaints from me. Hopefully it stays that way!
