Dog Name Change

Mileysmybaby · February 2011

I recently bought some imports and I named them then I thought "why did I name that dog that?!" and I always do that LOL so I thought we could do like 10-20 name changes every upgrade or you could have a upgrade that costs more with them and then a normal priced one or you could buy them separate anywhere from for 1-50 dogs or so and like 1-2 for novices. its another way to make money and also people will be happy (a little more so xD)

It's been suggested before (the name changing part), and you can read here for the most recent one: <a href="http://virtualpups.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=72427&p=844417"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">viewtopic.php?f=18&t=72427&p=844417</a>

 What about players eliminating kennel brands from dogs they've purchased? I know if I put my brand on a dog and someone bought it and was able to erase my brand I'd be pretty upset. Or, if a player were to name dogs inappropriately and someone else reported it to an Op, the offending player could change the name real quick and there would be no proof of the offense. I do not think this option should be added.

Even if we had to pay to change the names, we would still have issues with players removing the brands of others. There would be no reasonable way for the system to determine which dog is yours either -- anything in your kennel (with the change "allowance") would be fair game. I think the system right now is fine. If it's misspelled or inappropriate, Ops will change it. I've named dogs before that just had me thinking, "why the heck did I name it that?" What I do now is just create lists of names that I do like and use those if I care enough to. You could always use the names you do like for future dogs, or even replace the dogs you don't like if it bothers you enough.

Howdy, Stranger!
