I see a CCP dev has said on reddit that a name change service is being talked about, and that it might happen sooner rather than later. Is there any more info on this? Pricing, ETA etc? I tried the forum search but it didn't work. |

I vote never. It's bad to allow name changes. Reputation is a huge part of this game, don't let people slip away from that by allowing a change.

Everything you hear on Reddit is true. Everything a CCP Dev says will happen.
The internet doesn't lie!
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all.

No offence Chribba, but this isn't a poll to see who wants it or not. I was asking if there are any more details available. Below is the full quote from CCP Terminus:
Quote:Name changing services have been talked about. Might happen sooner rather than later. We would have to keep your name history visible to other players though of course. |

/c That's bit of a naive way to look at it. Do you think your contacts (good and bad) would disappear just because a person changed their name? It would be extremely inconvenient and rare, when most other functions in this game are made easy to use/follow/etc. Not everyone is trying to escape bad reputation.
Not only that, CCP could do like other games: Store an alias list.
Basically you need not concern when an idea is barely fleshed out.

At this stage, there are no details, and implementing this feature isn't even a sure thing yet. But as CCP Terminus said, it's definitely something we've talked about internally (and even mentioned before this externally).
We'll let you know more in the future if we move forward with it.

Why is this even being considered?

On the other hand, changing your name to 'McRibba' would be funny as hell |

I approve of this change. Being able to put a new name on a purchased character would be sweet! No more skipping on a nice toon because it's named "fluffyMcPuddinPop" or something even worse. |

I'm actually cool with the idea as long as the previous name is never hidden (so you can click on a character name and see what it's name was and when and what corp they've been in under what name).
But I though CCP already had a name change system for it's employees. I say that because on minute I see a guy named "CCP something" and the very next day the same guy is "RIOT something" ... |

Thank you for responding, I appreciate it.
Just my two cents, but I it's definitely something I'd like to see implemented, with the necessary safeguards to appease the rather vocal forum users who might be against it. |

Possibly as a response to player feedback. I guess they get quite a lot of tickets asking for a name change. |

This, there so many people that fly around with names against the EULA that is scrapes by until reported by someone. and this would make it easier for you to jump into corps that you've been kicked out of for some reason or another. If you have a good rep then you have a good rep' if you choose to do what ever you want because this is a game and thus develop a bad rep then ohwell, your irresponsibility is on you, not like most people don't have alts anyways.

From my recollection, contacts are stored against character ID, not character name. Since the character ID in the database will not change even if a name is changed, contacts will continue unaffected.

Sibyyl actually tested this once, by creating a character, posting on the forums, deleting it and creating a new one with the same name.
The old one stayed put, exactly as it was. |

I would support a one time name change as part of a character sale, so long as old names are available as part of the show info screen.
Aside from that, no. If you chose a name you now hate, all I can say is stop sucking.

Then I'd like to slightly move the goal posts and request a concord email when it happens and expose this change in the Api. |
