Account Transfers

## Donation Transfers

### What is a Donation Transfer?

Donation Transfers are, essentially, a feature on Runex that allows you to move your Donator Rank from one account to another. There are requirements for you to be eligible to do this, but they aren't that difficult to meet. You can see them below:

* One account must have  Elite Donator ($100)
* Both accounts must be owned (created) by the same player
* One account must pay 10B GP for the transfer to be done
* Full Donator Rank must be transferred, no partial amounts

It is important to know that some account types have restrictions as far as Donation Transfers go. The general rule of thumb is that most types of accounts can transfer with another account of the same type. It is impossible to transfer your Donator Rank between two different account types entirely.

#### Possible Transfers

* Regular Account ---> Regular Account
* Ironman Account ---> Ironman Account
* HC Ironman Account ---> HC Ironman Account
* Ultimate Ironman Account ---> Ultimate Ironman Account

#### Impossible Transfers

* Regular Account ---> Ironman Account
* Ironman Account ---> HC Ironman Account
* HC Ironman Account ---> Ultimate Ironman Account
* Group Ironman Account ---> Group Ironman Account

In order to receive your Donation Transfer, a post must be created in the Help section of the Runex forums. Be sure to clearly state your account names, which account should obtain the Donator Rank, and which staff member you have paid 10B GP to when creating your Help post.

## Name Transfers

### What is a Name Transfer?

Name Transfers are a feature provided by Runex that allows you to change your username to another one, as long as it is available. There are circumstances where a username that has already been taken is eligible to be used, but this is something you must consult with an Administrator on before submitting the transfer request.

Similar to Donation Transfers, there are some requirements to be eligible for a Name Transfer.

* One account must have  Elite Donator ($100)
* Both names must be owned (created) by the same player\*
* One account must pay 10B GP for the transfer to be done
* **Group Ironmen are not eligible for Name Transfers**

\*In cases where the account name is available, create the account and wait for the transfer to be done.

It is also very important to distinguish the difference between a Name **Swap** and a name **Change**.

#### **Name Swaps**

Name Swaps would occur in a situation where the player owns both accounts and wants the usernames to be *swapped* between the two. An example of this would be switching your main account's name (such as "Raw") to your pure account's name (such as "Cooked"). This would make your main account's new name "Cooked" and your pure account's new name "Raw".

#### **Name Changes**

Name Changes would occur in a situation where you are trying to obtain a name that has already been created but is not owned by you. This can be done, but there are strict parameters that have to be met beforehand. In order for a taken name to be considered available, it must have been offline for an extended period of time **and** only have logged in a handful of times in it's history. In cases where you are trying to obtain an old (taken) username, **contact an Administrator.**

In order to receive your Name Transfer, a post must be created in the Help section of the Runex forums. Be sure to clearly state the account names, which account(s) should obtain the desired username(s), and which staff member you have paid 10B GP to when creating your Help post.
