Summoner Name Cleanup and 50% Off Name Change Sale

For those of you with name envy, rejoice! Name changes will be 50% off in the next-next patch along with a slew of new inactive name purging! Check out the Red Post below by Hippalus

When Patch 1.73 arrives in mid-December (the 11th at the earliest), we’ll be rounding up inactive accounts to make those summoner names available to players. To make it easier for you to pick up a new summoner name, we’re also putting name changes on sale for 50% off.

An inactive account is any account under level 6 that hasn’t played a game since January 1, 2012. To keep those accounts’ names, you’ll have to log on and play at least one game between now and Sunday, December 9, at 11:59 PM PST. If you miss the deadline, don’t worry – your account is still active, but you’ll be prompted to choose a new summoner name when you log in next time. Only inactive accounts are at risk to lose their summoner names.

From the release of Patch 1.73 through December 26, summoner name changes will cost 650 RP, down from their normal 1300 RP price. As part of your Season Three prep, why not upgrade your summoner name to one that foreshadows your impending domination?

We look forward to seeing your creative new aliases on the Fields of Justice soon!

Patch 1.72 should go out within the next week. The Name Change cleanup will be in the one after that, patch 1.73.

Sounds exciting to me! Anybody planning on changing their summoner names in 1.73?
