There are many good options to implement this, but it still doesn't mean it should be implemented. It's like killing kittens, there are many ways to do it yet it's wrong every time. I, and many others form what I read, don't want this simply because it isn't appropriate for EVE.
and who are you to decide what is appropriate for eve? lol .. your metaphor was ****** to say the less.. |

I only stated my opinion, really, and my reasons are listed on the 2 previous pages so I didn't bother explaining them again. And I thought my metaphor was cool :). |

And yeah if you buy a character its past doesn't really belong to you but if you don't like it just don't buy the character.
you mean this? like i said did you take the time to read some of the suggestions here? historicity wouldn't be a problem at all.. we're not talking about EVERY single toon in EVE to name switch for free.. im talking about someone who would buy a toon could have the option to throw in just a little bit more money in it to make the name change happen.. it's almost like you guys have a single idea and can't think of anything else to fix the problems you talk of..
read the 1st post again.. this is not for everyone in the game.. just people who buys a toon from the bazaar.. there could be time limitation (6 months, 1 year, 2 years..) added to it so that it doesn't get abused, make the price kind of exaggerated, 2 or 3 plex.. and also have an alias tab to keep track of name change..

Well, I agree with the fact that offering a name change in a restricted way to people buying a toon and keeping a history of name changes would make it so a character's evolution is always traceable, which is a very important point, but :
1. I think there should be a clear disadvantage in buying a character rather than creating from scratch. Not choosing your race / name is one. Some people don't care, some do (I do, a lot, I'd rather spend 5 years training a toon than get one I didn't create myself).
2. It would be a step towards a lot of "hey i want to change my name too" from all over the place, and I wouldn't like that. EVE is a game in which you invest a lot into your character. Your name is the one bit of identity that remains strong throughout your entire career and I think it should remain this way. |

You have the misguided idea that because you suggest it limited to those that buy characters, that somehow others couldn't use it just to change their own characters name. You would be wrong and people would use it. So your limitation, is not a limitation at all.
As for changing names of bought chars, like I said the name is a part if the consequence of buying someone's character. You have the choice of not buying a bad name and waiting for a good one with the skills needed. You are buying someone else's time and effort and there may be a compromise or two to make.

here we go.... just crap on anyone who disagrees with you.
He actually did bring something to this thread, he stepped up as another player who is against name changes.

Well, that's at least 2 seconds for every character to enter local who you don't immediately recognize the name of.

I too want to 'show info' on every character in every system to see if they have an alias I recognize.

thanks for sharing a clear opinion and adding to the convo.. exactly the kind of constructive criticism i wanted. |

In a busy system, or in a dangerous situation, that will soon add up.
it has been said already.. and it doesn't bring anything useful to the convo.. crap on anyone who disagree? how old are you 12?
EDIT: if you NEED to show info on EVERY single toon that enters local, where ever you are.. may be you have other problems that are not relevant to this convo :P |

You missed the point. The name you make for yourself in a single shared universe is very important. The person that you pissed off one day might be back the next. At an instant, you can see every character in local and know if you recognize them. With changing your character name, this is no longer possible. You'd literally have to show info on every character to know if you truly recognize them or not.

misguided idea? where do you see that? i think you are misguided my friend.. im aware of all this.. but it could be fixed with a simple tab to keep track of name changes.. it's been said at least 15 times.. again did you take the time to READ the other posts of brilliant suggestions?
i couldn't comprehend the second part of your text. may be you can edit it to put some orders in your ideas, so that it makes some sense.. that's what i was referring to. |

That means you can get a name change for your own 'toon for the reasonable price of transferring that 'toon to another one of your own accounts plus the name-change fee. So essentially 3 PLEX for a name change, or 5 if you want to put him back on his original account. I think many scammers and Awoxers would be more than happy to pay a half-dozen PLEX to clean their slate and keep their skills. A clean slate is incredibly valuable in EVE. Just imagine name-changing a five year old character - all the benefits of an old character, and you can even provide a full API key to the CEO of your next juicy corp-theft target, and he will be none the wiser. Aside from those strategical benefits, there's also the issue of the premise of the game. CCP intends EVE to be a game in which your actions and choices, both good and bad, malicious or mistake, are supposed to have meaning and consequence within the game world, and they run the game according to those ideas. Your character's name is one of the most fundamental choices you make in EVE. Aside from choosing the size of your ears, your name is the first thing you pick when you make a character, and the last thing you leave behind when you quit. It seems to me that the name of a character is as much a part of the product as the skillpoints, and you should plan accordingly when buying and (especially) when selling. Oh, also, this isn't the facebook, we're not here to "like and favorite" your forum post. It's not good form to beg for internet points. Not even on the internet.
A simple "Name History" would solve that concern and still allow the OP to rename his purchased toons.
Note as well that he is not asking for removal of obvious awoxing killmails. |

i think you don't get it.. did you read? this would be only for people that bought a character from the bazaar.. the timer on the name change added to the price of it (name change option plus the character transfer) would make it a bit expansive for someone to just do it for a clean name.. and there is the contact list for that (just thought of that).. if someone is red it would stay red in that contact list.. wouldn't change much
EDIT: "would make it a bit expansive for someone to just do it for a clean name" to that i would add that if it is done properly (history tracking of name change), in about 2 seconds all the money spent changing his name for a "cleaner name" would be wasted |

I DO get it. How do you know if someone "bought" a character in local? Are they going to be flashy red in local so you know you can't trust their "local name" and have to show info on them? |

I'm not talking about tabs and keeping a track of old names. That has already been covered by others. I'm talking about YOUR misguided idea of a limitation. YOUR idea of limiting it to character sales. This is not in fact a limitation, as everyone could still use it to rename their own characters.

chances are that if you met someone you don't like it would be added to your personal/corp/alliance contact list as red, as i explained in my last post.. a little star (someone know the name of this * lol) could be added just after the name to show a name change like: Renegade Zed*
when you see the "little star" you know that you have to show info and check the alias history tab.. |

I don't need to show info on everyone. Because currently i can recognize people I 'know' by their name. Add name changes into Eve and that recognition is lost.
let me see if I can explain this for you...
There are three states that characters in eve can be.
Known - Good (friendly people I have met and I believe wont hurt me) Unknown - (people I dont know or recognize) Known - Evil (people who I know will try to gank, scam or pewpew me etc)
When any one of these comes close to me in game I can behave accordingly.
With name changes: Unknown names could be any one of the 3 states. So I am forced to check the char info... alias tab... of all unknowns to see how I should behave.
I hope I've explained this coherently, and you are able to look at this without your blinders on!

those would already be covered by your personal/corp/alliance contact list showed as blue gray or red.. so you would have an idea at least of what to expect from that person. (action wise) |

You have a tool in the game already that lets you tag everyone by simply adding them to your contacts list (as either good/bad/whatever).
This would not suddenly be removed if a character name was changed.

You would still loose information that you previously had.
Name: MrGankenstien -- RED to Me -- I KNOW there is a chance he will try to gank my ship from past experiences.
Now he changes his name.
Name: Bob Stranger -- RED to Me -- I have no idea why he is red or what he is likely to be doing. I have to check his aliases tab to see if he used to be 'Known' to me.

well Bob Stranger* (with the little star) shows that the guy had a name change. and he is red to you.
now what do you do when you never seen a guy in local before.. and he is not on the contact list? you show info right? it is already part of the game mechanic.. it wouldn't change much to pvp at all..
i think you're just fishing for things to cry on now...
EDIT: "You would still loose information that you previously had."
you wouldn't .. everything would still be there. lol |

that's your problem for not using a useful game mechanic. EDIT: my answer was to respond to your comment.. and your response is far from your comment now.. red herring much.
NOTE FOR EVERYONE: the 1st post has been updated to reflect the ideas discussed, please read and add to it by quoting me if you feel like it |

I think its very evident that I am never going to support name changes in any form, but I just wanted to add a question that your suggestion is going to bring up from a lot of other players.
Why do people who buy characters get name changes and people who play their characters from the start can't???

because you CHOSE your character name, like i chose mine. people that buy the character from the bazaar are forced to use a name because the skills and price range of that toon fits what they are looking for... when they buy that toon, they input money to CCP. a simple name change when the transaction is done would be a way to personalize that toon so that it feels a bit more like "yours" now that it is yours..
i thought i had that covered in my 1st post tho..
of course some, very few people, will use this to their "advantage" to have a "clean name" like stated countless of times.. but this can be countered by some simple yet effective changes in the game. and most of it is already in place (contact list)
hope i answered your question. |

Name changes are already possible:
Step 1: Register the original character name as a trademark Step 2: Have your lawyer send a formal letter to CCP regarding the issue Step 3: Pick new name |
