When will PiNG add the gil back to the community?

I really miss the custom titles and names and such we could earn by posting on the fourms, and especially the RPG when I was bored. A while ago when it was taken down PiNG said it was satored on his computer, but I haven't heard anything about it in a long time. I'm not sure whats going on, but I know it's still there because I JUST saw a dude walking around with a custom title I gave him before the gil feature was taken away.

Don't know much about that, little is mentioned about the old system. A problem that was coming about with the gil system was people using it to put up insulting titles. Definatly something not wanted here, not to mention keeping track of who's who. Some people with obvious malicious behavior was swapping names with a bad history keeping could lose track of them.

I never did like the idea that people could maliciously change other people's titles, but I was saving up to change my own.

What if it was re-instated so that you couldn't change other's titles or your own name? it made FFXIO alot more fun ; ;

Re: When will PiNG add the gil back to the community?

Changing someone else's title was too cost prohibitive for it to have been any sort of real problem. It didn't happen all that often. And if a title was inappropriate, it was immediately changed to something else.

I'm not really sure where Macht is coming from with that, to be honest.

Giving other people silly titles was one of the funniest things here.

Um.....yeah

Why do certain people still retain their titles and other people don't?

It's a conspiracy Kupo.


I would've liked if the RPG section had some sort of flash that would make fights look like FF3-4 or something like that. I didn't like the reloading part of the process, but it was fun.



Edit> Wait, I think I already posted something like this some time ago. ?

Re: When will PiNG add the gil back to the community?

Everybody who got a title for themselves before the site changed should still be able to edit it. Everyone else is kinda SOL for the time being.

I don't think the title thing was ever really a problem, but the name changing thing did kinda bug me. It took me like a month to figure out why arcadia9 stopped posting and who this Mog prick was who stole his avatar.
