Why are name changes still only done during maint?

1) Been asked before - but you know.
2) it is, if you catch one online and they have time. You can always PM one on the boards (Karazy, Nicole..) - if their PM box isn't full, you normally get a response. If you mean to say 1:1 like Skype, etc. - it's not going to happen due to conflicts of interests, etc.

1) It really makes no sense with their system... I suppose it COULD be to avoid issues with friends lists and such not updating or to keep people from spamming it but zzz

2) I had YNK staff on skype in the past but most of them don't work with PWi anymore, trying to get in touch with someone who can tell me if we're cool now or if i'll get banned soon lol

Skype conversation with GM's is not really possible. You can reach them in-game or via ticket only. It's better to contact them via ticket because there are things they can't process when they are in-game like restoration, password change, account info, etc

Just because previous gms were on Skype, they no longer want to do that. There was a lot to do with corrupt gms etc.
