Yep, Fist's got the gist (ha ha) of it. First, you have to buy "Title privilege" (otherwise your rank will be "none" despite what you choose) and then you can change your title with "change title." I'm not sure if the other person has to buy the title privilege or not for you to buy them their rank.

the "buy color" or "buy title color" are pretty basic, just changes the text color. Glow, like on mine, gives you a bit of a nimbus. The shadows are the tricky part. They basically give your letters a little bit of depth. To start, I'd recommend using quite a heavier shade than your text. I couldn't really get it to work for me.

I figured the 1000 WGD's just to buy back the default Servant of the Land title was probably a bit over the top....so it's now discounted to 50 WGD's :)

Question: what's the different 'tween "Change title" and "Change user title"? Oh, and does my green on purple make you go "gag me with a spoon" or is it okay? Heh...

I think change title is for yourself, and change user's title is for changing someone else's. But you'd have to be very wealthy to do that! :lol:

OK. I have refunded 1000 WGD's to: duchess, lord mhorham, lord foul, turiya, fist and faith, syl, the leper fairy. If I've missed naybody,m let me know :)

Change Title changes your OWN title. Change users title allows you to change someone elses title.

That purple and green mix is a bit on the Other Side ;)

ONE MORE thing...I sold my purple, okay, so does that mean it merely takes off the purple effect or should I also get the 800 back?

hehehe It was a bit pinkish :) It's now a darker shade :)

If you sell something, it gives you 50% of your original paid amount back and deposits it into your bank account (that's the theory)

Hum! Interesting. Thanks for all your help today! Just one thing: I got my name fixed up and all, but what about this here title? What would go good with the name? I'm fashionably clueless. I spend all my brownie points on inner style...boy that sounded cheesy.

A glance at my own title should reveal my own difficulties when it comes to creating my own one :)

Er, I never got the 50% back when I sold my title and name color. Yes, yes, I'm the kind of guy who gets out of my car to pick pennies up if the McDonald's change lady drops them in the transaction.

Lol. I think the purple and green is somehow fitting for Lord Foul... like a really nasty bruise.

Well, Turiya's title inspired mine. But the name I thought up myself, and then I realized Turiya had the same one! Oh, and I did some actual Covenant RESEARCH before I picked my colors. In TPTP Foul's a black shadow with a green prenumbra/shadow-thingy around him. So that accounts for my name choice.
