On one hand I think, "Serves you right for being an idiot and choosing a ridiculas name, trial period or not," but of course we all have our moments. The penalty for such a moment should be monetary like Himlar states. A one time name change should be allowed with a permanent AKA of the old name... Linked with searches, etc. And No to any additional name changes with a Character Transfer/sale... It would be a selling feature if u hadn't utilized the name change yet.
End of line. eëÆWhomever said, "You only get one shot to make a good impression," was utterly wrong. I've made plenty of great impressions with my AutocannonseëÆ eÉà |

Like the essentials, and most of the debated points, except for those above - As long as you can search for the prev character and bring up the new one... some of these points are redundant, but that would need to be an essential feature - Sec/standing/sp hit - dont see any need provided people pay. This is an administrative task for CCP, so I think it's unreasonable to expect this for free. Character transfers are 2 plex I think? I'd be happy with 2-4 plex for this, moderately extortionate to reduce time wasters. There should (imo) be a fee, and it should either be eye poppingly high or limited to once per year (w/e). - Char tfrs - as long as they are searchable, why shouldnt the new owner be able to change the name - Real need afaik is already addressed by CCP (ie spelling errors), but if people want to change one idiotic name to another idiotic one... who cares? It's their choice, and hopefully their money they are spending so.. pfft not our call to make. - One time only is unfair on subsequent players - Same letter... mmm mebe, but we dont know what will happen in future with fleet mechanisms, so a massive shift from A-C names to X-Z names might bite ppl later on. If there's a large enough fee in place, and CCP actually put a warning "if you're doing this because of fleet mechanics, bear in mind we may change things later (muhahah)" really, people cant winge. I could see the flipside of this being implemented that FCs reverse target calling anyway and go Z-A which would be pretty amusing. - Sec rating... nah. Not all -sec ppl have been out griefing. There's some sort of moral judgement tied into that, which shouldn't be relevant in this.
Good luck with this proposal, I hope it passes in some form |

Why not just issue EvE's version of Social Security Numbers into the game? I can change my name in RL if I want to but my SSN stays the same. We can call them CIN (Sin) for Concord Identification Number. Support our boobies!-áLINKY! |

characters already have unique id, but it's not particularity useful for recognition. names are easier to use. |

I would implement name changes like this:
- Name changes cost 10,000,000 ISK (or some appropriate fee).
- Name changes can only be done once every 12 months (like an attributes remap).
- History of name changes remains in player info (like corporation history).
- A player's name history can be searched by other players for 10,000,000 ISK via the current in-game search agents.
Comments/Benefits: This is a simple solution and it provides a nice balance. A player who changes his name has a level of privacy, but if someone wants to do a thorough search then the full history will be revealed. Players can't escape their past. It's all there if somebody does a search.
Name changes would act as a nice little ISK sink too.
You can change your name on your eBay account (where real life scams occur) but not your character name in EVE? I'm sure it's not a high priority now, but I can't see a valid reason not to allow name changes. Never make eye contact with someone while eating a banana. |

Players applying to a corporation would be asked to give the corporation 10 mil ISK for the background check. That wouldn't be good for the game.
The rest is reasonable. Some extra ISK sinks, as small as they may be, are good.

Some extra ISK sinks, as small as they may be, are good. Why exactly wouldn't that be good for the game? This already exists as it is. A lot of nullsec alliances require an up front payment in ISK to deter spies.
I would actually set the name change cost a lot higher to prevent people from changing names all the time. Seriously...a billion ISK. And no I am not kidding. Name changing would be a nice option but it should not be easy to do daily. Besides...if you were on crack when you made your character and don't like the name...it should cost for a name change. EvE is not about PvP.-á EvE is about the SANDBOX! - CCP!-á Open the door!!! |

It's just a standard and popular service feature for any mmo's older than 2-3 years out there.
Happy customers + constant stream of revenue = bigger budget for further development. |

I don't think name changes will ever be appropriate for a game like Eve. Trust is hard-earned, and your name is your reputation. Being a thief in Eve isn't some arbitrary choice you make at the beginning of the game that dictates what skills you are given when you level up. Thief is a title that is placed upon you by the community because of your larcenous activities. Titles like this are irrevocably tied to your name. If you could just change your name on a whim, that entire dynamic goes out the window. |

Just because other MMOs do it, does not mean that it would be good for Eve.
As for your happy customer maths... Nobody is going to quit playing eve because they cant change their name.

I would only support this if heavy restrictions were placed upon it's usage, such as; Changing the name of a character will permanently lock it to that account. |

Yeah, and nobody will be able to pay real money or whatever the price to use the service when the company fail to develop it.
It's not about you, not about EvE, it's about the customers unhappy with their name for nine frakking years. It's about time we get to access this service without disrupting your lazy countermeasure against scum & villany. And I do think the original poster suggested more than enough restrictions; or perhaps you could debunk it. |

Bollocks. They can implement a record, something along the lines of "previously known as", "alias" etc. if a recruiter is stupid enough not to vet them properly then its his fault if he gets scammed. One can currently just buy an alt and do the same damage if they really wanted too.
I do not see any downside to allowing a once a year change or some such. It is not game breaking and it keeps the game fresh for those that perhaps are unhappy with there name choice.
i would happily pay RL Money or plex for this opportunity so i back it 100% EVE since Incarna seems to be about identity, so who cares what my avatar looks like if you are not happy with your name. |
