I'd like to see addtional items for sale in the zen store the reason is honestly I hate leveling and some classes you do not realize till you speant ALOT of time and ad aren't as good or usefull as you hoped

1) change class token (it could easily be scripted to remove equiped items to prevent bugs on use)
2) change race token
3)change gender token
4)unbind companion token

    1 should never be implemented, and if it does, it should take you to level 1.

    4 they were going to implement but then changed their mind.

    I've have never seen a class change option in any MMO. Does anyone have examples of such a thing?

    1 --race change
    2 --starting attribute roll change


    I would pay for these

    Most MMOs actually do have this feature. Except most of them just call it rerolling because you start back out at level 1 with none of your stuff. Bonus though: you can change your race at the same time! :)

    I would love to see companions available to all you characters, like mounts.

    That's a long shot, though.

    2) change race token

    Items 1 through 3: No. Can. Do.

    This is something requested in Star Trek Online for four years and the developer response has always been the same: "We'd love to offer this, but it would be a technical nightmare to implement, if it were even possible at all". I'm paraphrasing here, but since Neverwinter is based on the same Cryptic game engine as STO (and Champions) my guess is the answer is:

    Technically infeasible (if not impossible). Solution: roll a new character.

    Item 4: Was a great idea. Then it wasn't.

    This was an intended function early-on in Neverwinter, throughout the alpha and beta period and even a couple months into 'Live" status this functionality was built into the game client. The only caveat was that it didn't actually work. All function was there, except that the monetary cost was never withdrawn and the actual unbinding never occurred.

    Cryptic later removed this functionality entirely.

    Solution: make Companions account-wide or drastically lower the cost of them (Z-Store versions).
    Cryptic has since drastically lowered the cost of Z-Store versions. Twice. (Once in second quarter, 2013 and in fourth quarter, 2013.)

    My only remaining gripe is the really, really embarrassing way that Cryptic handled the announcement (someone speaking with "authority" in the forums stating the ability was "never intended", which everyone and their uncle knows is a bald-faced lie. Beyond that, I believe Cryptic have made a good-faith effort to do right by their players.

    Hence: as wonderful as these features would be (even paid-for) - I just don't see them happening.

    I know: call me 'party-pooper'.

    Item 1 would be ridiculous. Considering that it cost 500 Zen to buy 2 new Character slots - a change of class at lv 60 might cost something like 1000 Zen, IMO. Leveling does not take to much time in this game.

    Here's an zen store item that I think would sell VERY well- a common-level pet that would vacuum up Zen for the purchase, and AD for leveling it to 30...

    Companion/Pet <needclevernameortype>
    common ability: automagically collects coin drops (long range)
    uncommon ability: automagically picks up potions (medium range)
    rare ability: automagically picks up enchants (short range)
    epic ability: automagically picks up quest drops (when run over)

    Or, if that's too good to be true (yah, it is probably), how about instead a stat pet with ONLY coin drop pickup, as an epic active pet ability?

    practical limitations:
    - must have non-overflow inventory space
    - does not work in groups, OR if it does, causes loot-rule-compliant rolls as appropriate

    A godsend for farmers (think how many they'd sell at one per toon...), people with carpal tunnel, and the OCD among us who can't tolerate leaving sparkly piles on the ground...
