Will CCP ever allow you to change the name of a character for the price of a PLEX or two? Why haven't they already allowed this...what are their concerns?
I assume they don't want people to continuously change their names in an attempt to avoid accountability in numerous matters; in which case, they could limit name changing to once a year or once every six months. In addition, as has been proposed by others in the past, they could do something similar to an employment history for the character's past names in order to keep track of a character's history.
I mean, they fully support the purchasing of characters...it would be nice to be able to name a purchased character something that suits you.
I would greatly appreciate the thoughts of others on the matter, as well as any further insight into why such a system has not already been implemented

This topic comes up fairly regularly and basically no, there is no plan to introduce this as an option.
The reasons primarily boil down to your characters name being it's main identity and being able to change it would allow awoxers, scammers, bad forum posters, etc. a quick means of changing their identity.
The choices you make have consequences, including consequences for the reputation of your character. Come Win At Eve - Join The Vendunari

Some of you guys need to relax...if you don't like the topic of the thread move along...no need to freak out about it or post at all for that matter. I don't always have time to comb through countless posts and forums topics to find the answers I am looking for...after all EVE is only a game and most of us have real lives that take precedence.
Thank you for all those who aren't so narrow minded as to consider the possibility for change here; it's happened before on other aspects of EVE and CCP seem to really be gearing up for change lately, so I wouldn't dismiss the possibility. In my eyes, there really is no logical reason for not implementing such a system as there are numerous ways to confront the few problems raised by implementing such an idea that would work well within the confines of the game. So lighten up people, and for those who would appreciate something like this...there's hope :)

Make your mind up!
Also... NO!
The ability to rename characters whitewashes that characters reputation and adds a lot of extra complexity to the game.

Only way I'd even be happy with this is if the info on the character listed all the names previously held by that character.
Apart from that Hell NO |

I do not support name changing in any way shape or form (except in the case of newbies who have just started out and want to edit a typo or something).
For me, it boils down to this; being able to immediately recognize a person based on their name is the very essence of "reputation." Taking away from that recognizability pretty much means that the concept of "reputation" is moot (IMO).
Now... you can certainly add a list to a person's character sheet with all the names he/she has used... but that will easily become tedious (and be largely unused) if you have to check the bio of each and every person that enters a system to "see who they are." Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

See my previous post.
I want to be able to recognize players by their name, good and bad, not have to spend so long looking up what they may have previously been called, by which time I am dead. This is not a signature. |

it is not required to use the serch function to be on the forums. you should as a player try to help others when the ask a question or have a concern. instead people like you continue to troll-comment people because you can contribute nothing else. its sad really. |

if you buy a char its not your rep. and the things that were done by that chat prior you did not do. so you shouldnt inherit the name or problems that come with it. name change is a very good idea |

But you'll take the time to look up corp history? Get an API key and use the notes tab? Or are you too lazy to do that too? Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.-á-á- William Pitt |

No sir, if it is a name I recognize as hostile, I do not want to spend time looking up the corp history or getting the API key, I just want to kill him or die trying. This is not a signature. |

It's a part of the "price" of being able to buy that wanted functionality instead of developing it on your own character... for better or worse.
Adunh Slavy wrote:But you'll take the time to look up corp history? Get an API key and use the notes tab? Or are you too lazy to do that too? I would say that corporation matters less than someone's name. There is a guy in the FW warzone who is infamous for AWOXing the militias he joins... his corporation is always different but his name is well known and has become synonymous with "kill on sight." And besides... corporate applications are a more protracted process that you can take your time with... versus identifying a possible threat when you are out and about in a system. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.
