City of Heroes character renaming and transfers delayed

Character transfers and renaming in City of Heroes was slated to be available by September 19. However, some problems that weren’t encountered in the beta phase of implementation surfaced. These problems have forced the developers to disable these functions until further notice.

The systems are being fixed with NCSoft assuring players that they’re doing what they can to get these features out for the public to use. There was no word on what the problems were specifically. Community Relations Manager Lighthouse did mention though that the issue was with the design of the system itself.

While some would expect that the players would be rather hostile about this set-back (as seen in other MMORPGs), most of them were actually very nice and polite about it, cheering on the game’s developers and programmers. Some of them even said that they’ve been waiting for some time to get these features anyway, so what’s a few more days right?

When character transfers and renaming are made available, players will be charged a fee of US$ 9.99 for using it. A good investment if you’re not enjoying the people on your server any longer or are just tired of the name you picked but still want to keep your old character.
