Naaah, our idea was to drop the tiers, and come up with something new and shiny. I'm not gonna go into detail, all I can say is that we tried to convince people to just pay for name changes for awhile, as a goal to raise more money to upgrade, and people just weren't down with it.
Seems to me like people have gotten used to not changing their names, and they've gotten used to their names they have now, and they don't want to change anymore. Soooo that idea bombed, because no one was willing to pay.
