Anubis Assassin
Caldari SandStorm.

I've been begging for this for a little over a year now I think...
And to quote a topic I made back in March:
Quote:
A little while back, I asked about changing bloodlines and was told we couldn't because of the skills and bonuses we get per bloodline...
Well, now, bloodlines are pretty much irrelevant. Can I please change my bloodline now? I hate my character :( I hate his face and I hate his name. I'd like to beat my friend over the head with a shovel for "guiding" me into starting my male Achura character instead of letting me go with whatever I wanted. I don't even want to change race, I like being Caldari, I just want to be a Deteis.
I think just a one time bloodline change would be nice... Race change would be too much, but just a bloodline change? Please! If I could change my name and bloodline, I'd be happier than a fat kid in a candy store. I started this new character "m3talc0re X" because I didn't want to be Anubis Assassin. I would gladly start a new account to train m3talc0re X on, but I can't afford it, as I imagine a lot of others can't either. --------------------------- I have to make my own sig break? WTF? These forums suck CCP, fix 'em or get something better... I'm tired of reading Khraunus' sig every single time I read one of his |

Originally by: Sigdur Lozh just put in a big bold red note saying
THIS WILL BE YOUR NAME WHILE YOU ARE PLAYING
like in other mmo's
In other MMOs you max out and typically start over with new characters once maxed out and bored of that one class. This does not apply to EVE where you never max out or are confined to a class. Name changes allow for people to grow with their character, not grow tired of it.

Edited by: Mike Voidstar on 09/07/2009 18:05:58 There is an easy solution.
Issue Pilot Identification License Numbers.
This would be an unchanging, fully searchable indentifier. Then the pilot could change his name, but all his info would be linked to the PIL.
If he's a bitter PIL, people will still be able to easily see that.
This could be as simple as a 15 digit randomly assigned alphanumeric, to a complex VIN style number, where if you knew how to read it you could tell Race, Bloodline, starting Profession, and prefered underwear color from just reading off the PIL.

Posting with your main would bring more weight to the board. Unless you're a mass ganker then people without vision will come running and screaming with torches and pitchforks.

If you can re-invent your attributes once a year I see nothing to stop them from implementing a once a year alias too. Of course these would be traceable to people that wants to find the previous alias.
This would go a long long way towards bringing some real immersion to the game as I'm sure that those serious enough about their spaceships have long since come up with a better name for their character than the one they made up on the spot those many years ago.

Horrible idea. Sure, scammers can create alts to start their scamming trade over again, but giving them an easy option to change their name and erase all connections to the scams they've been a part of is ludicrous. A character with more time in game has a better chance at being successful at gaining a persons trust than a new character. As it is now, the penalty for exposing your name in a scam is that you have to start over or find victims that don't know you to scam again. This would just allow people to create a single character, and age it as they scam and change their name over and over. The increased charges would mean nothing to a scammer that can take in billions in a single scam.
No thanks.

Ok next time read the actual proposal before you go off spouting reactionist drivel.
It's been stated a dozen times that there will be a papertrail. If you can't be bothered to do a rudimentary background check on the character you're trading with then you deserve to be scammed and not even him wearing a big red nose with the text Scammer on would save you.

You mean this?
Originally by: actual proposal Their old name is added to a list much like employment history and is easy to find for those wondering where their old nemesis went.
I read it and stand by my statement. Don't be such a douche in assuming the world and everyone in it runs at the whim of your thought process.

I'll be glad to buy a Time Code and then in my "account managment" will choose - shell it go to pay for game or to change portrate or to change name. Either way CCP gets thier real money and shell get a lot more clients for this new services. Also, whill it shell be a new way to spend isk, EVEs economy shell get 1 more step stronger.
I've READ all 7 pages of posts. LOTS of ideas, new ways of INCOME for CCP... and did not meet a SINGLE REPLY from the DEV!

I've seen far too many Chicken Little replies to the idea to be frank. It's been stated over and over on the thread that there should be a paper trail. No-one disputes this yet the sky is still falling some places.

Well, it would never get into the game without one so that's pretty much out the window. Accountability is why it's not in but that's being readily circumvented by character trading and disposable alts already so that's really a non-factor.
The only thing keeping this down is fear of the unknown.

I've been here longer than most, maybe you should check me up ingame. The chief argument for it not being in was accountability. I dare say that ship has sailed already with character sales.

Money was never the issue, accountability was.
For people with a reputation rotten beyond repair circumventing the hard coded name, as it stands now to purchase a new character, that's easily financed with the spoils they've gotten from scams and corporate theft.

You're talking in circles trying to justify your opinion.
"They could hire someone to farm isk to fund their ability to buy characters so they can scam other people and use that money to blah blah blah.."
We could go on forever like this but it's obvious this is just something you want, and that's fine. But you're not going to convince me nor anyone else it's for the better.
Let's see if it get's added, CCP has the final word.

No I'm not, I'm saying the people you're worried will abuse the system already does via character trades. It's just you who are too dense to understand.
I and everyone else but you wants this in the game, see how that piece of **** rhetoric work on the comeback?

I think the suggestion has some merit. If the number of name changes are limited, maybe 1 change allowed after 1 year. This means that those players who started playing and gave no thought to their names can have some relief. Im not saying that allowing a player to change their names will keep them interested in the game, however it would endear them to it a little more.
A public record of the change in name would have to appear in-game on their bio. Maybe a new tab or beneath their name "Dillon Arklight aka Valhalla Cowboy"
It would add an element to role-players especially minmatar who can symbolically change their name after they gain their freedom or successfully complete a trial period in a corp etc ect.
P.S.Valhalla Cowboy was my first characters name and after a few months i deleted him and started again. Co-host of PODDED Podcast http://podded.libsyn.com/

So the mafia already has a foothold in the community, might as well give them a government seat? How much sense does that make?

I love it when people do this. I'd like to thank you, on behalf of everyone else that is, for speaking for the entire population of players. That was a great effort you made to interview each and every one and come to the conclusion that we all, including myself, are on board with you.
I guess we just haven't realized it yet?
PS. You should get out more, just because the 5 people on your facebook friends list agree with you some of the time, doesn't mean the rest of the world thinks with you all the time.

Jebus you moron, I was throwing back your flawed reasoning in your face using the everyone agrees with me routine and you even failed to see that.
The idea isn't to cater to scammers, that's your concern and every other chicken little coming here screaming bloody murder. It's to allow for a more immersive EVE.
Now please get off my thread and pester someone else. I typically like an argument, with intelligent people or dim ones but not the latter posing as the former, that's just annoying to hell and back.

If you don't want people voicing opinions in your thread on a public forum, I strongly suggest you stop posting on them. You can create your own forum, restrict access to everyone that doesn't agree with you and live happily ever after if you want to, Republicans do it all the time.

Like I said I welcome an argument but you don't have one, you have assumptions grabbed mid air and presented as the gospel and presume to know what my agenda is having disregarded every prior entry on the thread.
If you do have something constructive to add to the thread by all means, I've just not seen it yet.

Wait a second.. which is it? Are my 'assumptions' already established and therefore moot? Or have I not made any yet? I'm getting mixed signals trying to follow your see-saw logic.

Hello there, Danton couldn't come to the boards right now since he got banned by a cerebrally challenged moderator for messing with the head of a troll.
In the light of that I'm not about to continue to feed you but to state that you can't follow logic and you projecting your own shortcomings to further your pointless posts trying to look smart doesn't really work.
I'll be blunt, you may or may not pick up on that? You've lost, your argument was quickly refuted and tossed out, you've since got nothing, present something new that concerns the idea in this thread or move along. Did anyone fraps it? |
