Continue reading for two brief posts from Hippalus, one concerning an upcoming name change sale and the other breaking the new of no Black Friday sale this year.
Inactive Name Purge and Name Change Sale on the way.
Here is Hippalus dropping off a heads up about the upcoming inactive name purge and half off sale for Summoner name changes.
"The Summoner Name Change cleanup and sale will be announced next week and will be live in mid December. We were hoping to get it done this week, but there are a lot of names, and some added complexity compared to last year.
All accounts which are level 5 or below and have not played a game in 2012 will lose their summoner name, and all Summoner Name Changes will be available for purchase in the store at 50% off. I'd like to do more of these cleanups in 2013 with different criteria, so if you have an opinion on why more (or fewer) accounts should lose their name next time, feel free to post it here.
The old accounts can be reactivated in the future, but they will have to pick a new name."
No Black Friday Sale This Year
For those who have been asking, here is Hippalus confirming there will be no Black Friday sale this year. Instead, there will be a large sale planned for January of next year.
"As I scan through the forums, I'm seeing a lot of interest in a Black Friday sale. Unfortunately nothing special is planned for that day and there is no time to put something together by Friday. We've been busy working on other things for Snowdown Showdown and Season 3.For those who may not have been around, last year had a Black Friday sale of sorts, featuring the first batch of retired legacy skins at 75% off.
We'll make up for it by planning a big sale event in January."
sucks about the black friday

ReplyDeleteYOU REMOVED MY FIRST COMMMENT D:
ReplyDeleteseriously? can u prove that
DeleteI saw you post yesterday. "First! I'm the #1 s@20 fan!" or something. Why don't you prove it by respecting moobeat's desire to not have 'first' postings?
Delete^This
DeleteMoobeat already said he doesn't mind the "first" thing...
DeleteThen why disable anon posting with that as one of the reasons?
DeleteRofl "respect moobeat"..... You're joking right. Moobeat said he didnt care about that. And why does it matter anyways if someone says "first"? See it, forget about it and move on. Jeez. Talk about dickriders.
DeleteIt doesnt matter indeed, its just lame, pathetic and sad, but what we gonna do rite? XD
DeleteOops, didn't mean to start a rage war. Why don't we replace the first thing? How about, whoever is first, just say "I'm surrender@20's biggest fan!". Does that solve everything? I do it just to show Moobeat how much I love his website and how much I check it. I don't do it to piss everyone off. <3
DeleteCan someone please explain what this 'black friday sale' is?
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard it before.

DeleteIn the US, the day after Thanksgiving (a US holiday which always happens on a Thursday in November), typically signals the start of Christmas shopping. Stores in the US usually kick it off with a big one-day sale called the Black Friday Sale.
DeleteConsumerism at its finest.
Sucks about the sale... seems weird to overlook such a thing entirely.
ReplyDeleteWhy is that weird? League of Legends is a worldwide game, and Black Friday only happens in one country. Looking at that set of facts, wouldn't it be weirder if they did have a Black Friday sale?
DeletePlus they're revving up for Snowdown Showdown and Season 3, which has a shit ton of changes unlike the previous 2 seasons, so they got their hands tied down on those.
DeleteNo Black Friday?! What do you mean "there is no time to put something together by Friday", you just have to pick a few old skins and put them in a goood price ffs, anyone could do that in a couple of minutes! This is indeed bad news, I got a friend who was waiting for this for almost 2 months now.
ReplyDeletepretty much lame excuse, not that I can complain anw.
Deleteoh well, there is snowshowdown this year at least.

I agree, sounded more like an excuse... this is sad...
DeleteOh thank god, I have no money until January.
ReplyDeleteyay!
Dreadknight Nasus on sale now!!! Please!!! Ive waited since June!!
ReplyDelete"preparing for snowdown showdown" sounds great!
ReplyDeleteOh nooo =( Please don't put a level limit ! I've been trying for more than 1 year to change my summoner name and get my real nickname but the other account is lvl 27 and inactive =(
ReplyDeleteThere really should be either a higher limit that you can take names from, possibly 20 if they're inactive.. I hope this is ongoing, like that we can take names as they come to there 1 year of inactivity date.
ReplyDeleteWhy is everyone crying about how "it's weird" or "It's pathetic"? Riot works hard. They're busy preparing for Season 3, and it's going to be big. God forbid you'll have to wait another month or two for your sale. You'll get it, just chill out. Cry some more.
