Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2008.08.14 13:03:00 - [121] Originally by: Vyktor Abyss Sorry Danton, but I think this is a bad idea. It would be yet another thing for people to misuse and try to scam or exploit other players with. Charater identity in Eve is important since a lot of the game's trust is based on reputation. The ability to rename yourself aswell as reimage yourself kind of buggers up that delicate trust balance we have currently since its easier to escape your previous deeds/misdeeds. If you have to check someones name history to find out who they really are or were, then essentially everyone's reputation becomes worth less. Example: Titan pilot who everyone knows changes name. Jumps into local during fleet op - "Just another red" defenders think - Boom. Doomsdays fleet who weren't even aware that Titan pilots name had changed. Even worse a 'buddie' switches name to the well known pilots after his original name is no longer taken and usurps his reputation. It is a minefeild of issues/exploits. Another issue is all the programming required for "search for character name", killmail logs, forums, transaction/market logs or anywhere else character names appear. Should this really be a priority for CCP? I hate to say it but if people dont like their name they can always reroll. People with crap names normally get nicknames in their social circle of pilots anyway so does a crap name really matter at the end of the day? Hope this was constructive feedback. Since people sell characters this point is no longer valid, as for spotting titan pilots people should use scanners and other intel for that, local isn't an intel tool and shouldn't be, it's soon changing anyways and even I can fly a titan so should I sell myself to the highest bidder people in the fleet would be in for a surprise still.

Funny thing Danton, is that you're promoting this and out of all of us your name is fairly reasonable. I'd certainly trade you. I appreciate the effort though. It's not altruistic, I have to stomach watching all these supposed names fly by every day. There isn't a day going by I don't wish for a way to blank out the names in local and replace them with blanket denominators like BoB Puny, BoB Light, BoB Deadly or something generic like that to ease the suffering.

Shadow Sapphire	Posted - 2008.08.26 19:14:00 - [123] Totaly Agree . Whit 5 pages of support i think it's time to put the issue to the CSM Assembly Hall
Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2008.08.27 03:29:00 - [124] Oh I think it'll have to simmer here a while still, half of the posts being by me and all and CCP sticking to their rethorics about 'accountability', whatever that is in this day in age of revolving characters.

Supported! In a grass-roots kinda way. As for the security concerns, it shouldn't be all that tough to put a "name changed to" line in the employment history. That way if you're checking references (as if anyone ever does) you know what name the people you're talking to knew the character by.

Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2008.10.10 20:34:00 - [128] My ganker alias is Overlord Daddypants III. It'd be nice if CCP included three part names as well sometime down the line and no, not going to change to that, that's just funny for oh about 3 seconds.
Gautan Virdamot Nebula Rasa Technologies	Posted - 2008.10.20 22:08:00 - [129] For the playerbase to evolve this change is necessary.
Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2008.10.28 22:19:00 - [130] Hmm, some odd comment there but I'll take it. Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav! Also Known As

Slade Trillgon Masuat'aa Matari Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2008.10.31 10:44:00 - [131] As long as all past alias are bloked from future use I am for this. The only problem is that someone could scam switch and then scam again, but that as always this issue is on the shoulders of whoever got scammed. All you have to do is check the history of aliaes, go to crime and punishment and ask if any of the aliases are known to be bad seeds. Not that is fullproof, but prevention of scamming and corp theft are never 100% especially if the individual is good at what they do.

Atharax	Posted - 2008.10.31 12:40:00 - [132] Danton Marcellus You have made a good presentation in favour of your idea and reasons for allowing a namechange. I have however to say no, never and should not happen for reasons pointed out in this thread already. If there a list somewhere of past aliases does not matter. You don't have the time to check on something like that when somebody suddenly appear at a gate in 0-space. In this game we have chosen a path and created our own destiny any money, ingame or r/l ones should not make it possible to create a clean slate.

But their name change would not affect their red/blue/neutral status correct?

C4LYP50 The Sky Is The Limit	Posted - 2008.10.31 16:43:00 - [134] I'd rather this wasn't implemented, for a variety of reasons, mostly already mentioned. Most players I know by reputation, and I often set personal standings with them even though I might consider their corp unknown or neutral. I'm sorry if some people didn't take the time to choose a name they could stand to see forever, but there is a reason for the saying "Fools rush in". The only name changes I can support are those which fall under CCP's name change policy (offensiveness). I can kind of understand the RP arguement, but again, if your character is years old and his/her only drawback is a silly name, you are kind of grasping at straws here. You lived with it just fine for this long? New character? Reroll it! The little time lost on skills will be more than made up for by the lack of aggravation about a name.

Korovyov Luminous Love Brewery	Posted - 2008.10.31 18:19:00 - [135] I think CCP should allow a name change, but charge $15 for every month the character has been active to punish them for rolling a toon with a failname. --=--=-- end of post --=--=-- got booze?

I'd rather see names of players not showing at all in space unless they opt to. Why is it that you can identify anyone in their ships from their mere presence there? Ship type and affiliation only in the overview would be ideal. Showing names for people to take into account is discouraging fights more than anything, let those be diplayed post battle, via killmails, for bragging rights. Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav!

Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2008.11.06 05:37:00 - [137] This will probably go over much better after the proposed local nerf when reading someones name in local isn't a must for some of the hardcore elements in the game. Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav! Also Known As
