    This is cool, but I wish there was a way to donate mine to people who want to change more than 3 characters, because now I'll be getting 3 race change tokens on each of my accounts and I won't be using any of them...

    Not that I think it's practical to make it so that people can trade the tokens, it's just a shame that all of the ones I get are going to go to waste. Unless I use them to very slightly tweak some characters' appearances anyway (I'd only do minor changes like maybe a haircut here and there).

    While I won't be using the race change token, I will be using the name change token. I have 2 characters that I forgot to captilize, and while it bothers me, I'm too cheap to buy a name change.

    I was hopeful, but ended up disappointed.

    Is people really getting satisfied with just 3!?! Can you Zos explain why 3, and not 1 for every character? You do it for a marketing purpose? I don't give a *** about a sale caused by your changes, it should be free!

    This is a welcome change. Thank you for that. Unfortunately, I would have preferred if you didn't have a sale on the items at all. Promoting a sale is an admission that you want to monetize these changes, at least to some extent. It may have looked better overall if you just raised the tokens to 3, added the name change tokens and left it at that. You're saying that anyone not satisfied with only 3 changes is welcome to visit the store in order to fix any other issues they may have. It sets a poor precedent and adds a shady element to the process.

    After reviewing everyone’s feedback and evaluating the total number of high-level characters from active ESO accounts, we’ve decided to increase the amount of free Race Change Tokens granted to all players to 3 Tokens, in addition to granting 3 Name Change Tokens, to assist with the upcoming Racial balance changes in Update 21. The Tokens will be automatically added to your account during the launch maintenance window for each respective platform.

    Additionally, we’re also planning a sale on both Race Change Tokens and the Race & Name Change Token bundle for a limited time after each platform’s launch.

    We look forward to seeing everyone in game for the upcoming Wrathstone launch!

    That is Legit awesome. Have 8 chars but only three I still use so that is perfect for me.

    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

    What are the stipulations to "active" accounts? I have an account with 7 characters, but no PC (it has been destroyed). I would still love to take advantage of this when I get another PC built.

    Edit: figured it out, thanks! This is awesome, thanks for listening to the community.

    Three isn't enough.

    If you're profiting from this -- and the token sale planned suggests you expect to -- you're doing it wrong.

    You should not be earning $0.01 because you've changed the traits of a character's race and the player is now unhappy about it. You should not be profiting for a problem you will be creating for players.

    There should be a period of unlimited changes in addition to 3 tokens that can be used for remorse later.

    Exactly.

    I don't understand why they insist on trying to earn money from this change. Even if they do profit from it, which I'm sure they will, do they realize how this makes them look?

    That's exactly what I was saying, that it should be three name-and-race changes instead of one.

    I'm ok with it not being one per character. Three is fine. Thanks for listening.

    Thanks for upping the number guys! One question, is this per server or per account? Like will I get 3 tokens for NA and another 3 on EU, or is 3 total for both?

    It gives no reasons that you must change your races. Because many Races are better than before. That a few Races will be better than your race isn´t a reason. 2k Dps difference or maybe a little bit more is ridiculous.

    I understand, that many Players want to have the maximum of the Build that they have favor. But it is not necessary to complete a Vetraid successfully. So it is not ZOS problem but yours.

    Now ZOS will give you more than they wanted first. And a few people still moan. I think that is very ungrateful.

    It's about perspective. I'm not likely to actually change more than 3 of my characters. It's not about me. It's about ZOS making game balance changes, then charging (some people) to fix the changes they implement. If you can't see the problem with that sort of business practice, that's fine. My opinion is that they should not monetize game balance changes... at all... to any players, even if I'm not personally affected.
