Currently you can change your character's face. I would like the option to change the character name. Could charge a fee, could be part of buying a character, could be free.
I feel it would be nice for someone who bought a character to change the characters identity, remove former associations.
Someone who wanted a specific character name, that wasn't available at the time of creation is now available (biomass processing).
Anyone who would change the picture of their character would surely be interested in changing the name.
an argument:
Quote:
Allows corp thieves to change their character name and continue stealing without the community knowing or being able to track the character.
You can already do this. Simply by buying a new character. Now money is transferred directly to the character being sold, so there isn't necessary a post to track who bought it. And an alt could have been used anyway.
Quote: Makes pilot specific intel difficult to track. For example if there is a titan pilot that you are keeping track of being logged in, if he changes the character name you lose that intel.
Was the buddy list an intended intel tool, like local?
Quote:
Could cause problems for kill rights.
If this was tied to the character name rather than some other value associated with the character, it could be a problem. Easy fix would be require that the character doesn't have any kill rights.

This pretty much covers everything as to why this idea should never go through. There is no good reason to rename a character at all.

Edited by: WMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWMWM on 22/11/2008 04:29:27 Just pick a good name when you start your character.
And this would be too easily exploitable, think if other people is pro like me and we see fleets of:

Not that i agree with the op wholeheartadly however he/she does raise a vailid proposal people should have the right to change their name but should have like a corp history have a history of previous names
Also the name change should have a damn good reason ie if a char is purchased through legal methods the purchaser should be able to apply for a name change 'but' with the previous name in its history,
Just my 2 cents - although in the ops opinion this is put up for a vote i think it would have a better home in the ideas and suggestions forum.

What is the difference between buying a new character and changing your character's name?
Maybe include name changes in corp history?
And I support this. --------

If this was second life where you could 'marry' some other stranger in-game and want to then change part of your name to match theirs, then there might be some logic to this.
But this isn't, so nah ...

Because marriage is the only reason someone has taken on another name, ever.

If the old name and new name points to the same character on a search, and also clearly states the former name in the character info, then I support it.

I agree, as long as the alias's/standing are accessible when viewing the character or from the overview for a negative standing character.

signing in support of name changes.
there must be some way to balance it so that you can change your name without letting scammers and can flippers hide.
maybe make it a one time, one shot deal for people who REALLY want it changed. __________________________________________________ I was Amarr before they were the FOTM and I'll be Amarr after it! I'm also training Minmatar Capitals! And I eat Lions! |

Easily knowing what someone's name used to be would be the only way I'd support name changes. Even then, I don't like it and I'm fairly sure CCP won't, either. _

This.
In addition: What about linking the name to the corp history? Also have you thought about what will happen when old names will become available again?

You mean using buddylists and local for intel rather than what it was intended for?
Intel is intel even without names visible anywhere.

No, I mean creating lists of corp members within a corp and listing their prefered ships and fitouts, areas they are active and then using Locator Agents to monitor their movements.
I'm talking real intel.

I'd certainly like the idea to change my name, so long as there's an 'AKA' tag attached, and that all records of the past name update automatically to the new one...
I can imagine the server load that would cause.
I'd also like to be able to change corp names without disbanding/reforming the corp. Currently I run one of the oldest corps in Eve and want to maintain the employment record/age of the corp but it's name is no longer particularly pertinent. :/
Oh... and the idiotic name that's screwing up my browser settings: Cut the idiot's name in half or ban him.

I would like the idea of allowing name changes, as long as your character sheet lists known aliases and locator agents are able to locate people using their former names. You would have to give every character a (hidden) unique identifier and change a few bits of code to not break buddy lists etc.
Employment history should never be in scope for anything like this, nor standings.

Well, if I were running things, your name would already have been changed by the GMs.

Edited by: evilphoenix on 27/11/2008 23:49:34 Maybe some time limit to be associated with the character's former name. This way when you buy a new character anyone who is obsessed with tracking it can, and can see that the name was changed.
And for those whom insist it makes scammers easy to hide... what do you do hunt them down? Why don't they just create a new character on their account?
