A while ago there was a post regarding PLEX (or 2) for a character rename.
If I remember correctly a few devs also posted on the thread not dismissing the idea.
Essentially even after renaming your character the previous name would still show in the character history.
Was wondering if this is still being discussed at all at CCP HQ? |

Several dev's have said this won't happen, but then again that was a few years ago. Because name = reputation. And that is kinda what sticks with you in eve. So I hope this never happens |

Yeah name changes to the corp thieves and awoxers have a field day.

Iirc, the main problem was figuring out a way to retain and present a list of aliases, and make it easily searchable so you can always check the history of the character. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

You want naming rights, roll a new character.
If you want to buy a character, you give up naming rights.

Only reason why people would want to change their names in EVE are:
1) you're a known corp thief and even idiots know about your name by now. 2) you're on everyone watch list 3) you're such an a-hole that you have to change your name to get anything done with others, until they realise who you are of c. 4) you think that your new name would be so cooool and edgy that you just 'gotta hav it'. 5) you need to scam someone. 6) you like running around jita in a shuttle with 60+ PLEX in cargo, too bad that those bad pirate people know that as well. 7) you played for 7 years and only just now you realised that your name is incredibly stupid. 8) all the Finns hail you with moon-language and "duel" you in null because you took the name of "Raimo" or equivalent contemporary Finnish name.
9) none of the above are valid reasons to change your name. 10) any other reason you would like to change your name in EVE ? |

The code already in place as this feature already implemented on Serenity. Despite that, CCP ignored this question since July and not even mentioned character renames in developer blog related to chinese server. So either they not ready to announce this for TQ yet, or they are evil company that don't like taking our money for industry standard service. -¥ |

The absence of denial isn't acceptance of an idea either. |

If recruiters can't even be bothered to check corp history of Psychotic Monk et al. when why would they check the name history. |

And here in lays the rub. People do not check the information given as it is and so these things happen. As a Goonwaffe recruiter I have a system of checks and balances to always do what we can to root out spies and awoxers in the recruitment process. ^^^ lol that post is so bad you should get back 2 GBS m8 o7 |

"Consequences" in EVE are an illusion and driven by marketing hype. There are no lasting, meaningful consequences.
There are many ways to allow name changes in a way that still pleases the "consequence" crowd. The most simple would be to have a name history similar to corp history. You could even have that history be searchable so searching for posts by Markku Laaksonen will also pull up whatever I change my to (or changed it from). Have it be accessible via API when a recruiter is looking at a new recruit's info.
Especially when buying a new character, have a clearly displayed note that the character was transferred, and a name change took place by the purchaser. DUST 514 Recruit Code - https://dust514.com/recruit/zluCyb/

we should have a way of accessing our character ID ingame, that way the name means crap, your number is what matters. having a name change history makes the whole thing even more annoying. and if people didn't bother to check the name now, they would care less about the ID#. |

No. You made a sht choice at some point that led you to desire a rename. That choice could have been as simple as choosing a poor name or something more nuanced like scamming and stealing.
Either way, deal with it. |

So I hope this never happens What if we did allow a name change but also include an entry in a characters employment history. This will allow players to rename their characters (especially useful for bought character with awkward names) but will not allow people to awox and get away with it.
PS. 2 PLEX is easily affordable when you just robbed a corporation ;) De you know who's going to inherit New Eden? Arms dealers. Because everyone else is too busy killing each other. |

How would this affect kill boards? Would they be able to keep track of the artist formally known as puff daddy, formally known as diddy, formally known as p diddy, currently known as puff daddy again. Or would it break the internet? |

This isn't game breaking, and GMs change naughty names all the time. So it's doable...! New player experience, more highsec PvE missions, casual play, balance, counters to AFK cloaking, expanding the NEX store, and Power Projection.
