POLICY REMINDER: As of October 24th, 2014, we are NO LONGER offering administrative character nation changes, until further notice. Previously, we were happy to do this on request (dating from an earlier time in the game), but it ended up being heavily exploited by a number of individuals, as a means of gaining specialty nation equipment. The player base became quite vocally upset, and we resolved the community issue, for the moment, by promising to stop doing nation changes (which we had already halted when the exploitation was reported).

On a technical level, we currently aren't in a position to do this, as we haven't yet built the tools needed to make specialized nation changes while also selectively-wiping, or limiting, a character's inventory. The only way to do this right now, is "by hand" in the database; and even if the player purges their own inventory, developer time is needed to validate the degree to which this has happened. Character data is complex, and not trivial to manually modify. We just don't have the time to do this for people, not the way it is now.

All things being equal, we would much rather be changing character nations, and making people happy, as we always have before. But this present situation has evolved, and we're making the best of what we have, resource limitations and all.

So, until you receive further notice from us, please do not expect character nation changes. You do have a number of character slots, we recommend making the most of them.
