Employment history + implementation of several other suggestions in this thread (show previous names, have an unchangeable "pod code", etc) eliminate that possible anonymity.

Originally by: CCP Eris Discordia So what you guys want is a chance to take all your skillpoints and history of a character but move it into another body and maybe change the name too?
Would it be acceptable if you could only do this once after WiS is released, for a fee even?
well i wouldnt mind changing this caldari face into a sexy brutor char if i could get the chance.
i dont agree on being able to change the name though, your name should be there for eternity

We never wanted to go down this road because it¦s immersion breaking, people can hide their history (usually a bad history) and it¦s a huge hassle for us because it probably has to be done manually for each avatar.
On the other hand it seems to be the number 1 request of people desperately wanting to change sexes when WiS hits so it¦s something at least I¦ll keep in mind.
Can¦t promise anything though so don¦t get your hopes up.
irl Plastic surgery cost a lot of money. What a great isk sink you got there...
Anyway, sex changes/total look changes/identity changes is a classic in cyberpunk novels. Through implants, also through cosmetic changes or "hack the matrix" identity coverops.
It could work on one clone only.
It is a true gameplay problem, I guess CCP could have choose to make sex/appearence/names changes at will, but somebody skilled in hacking governement databases, using a holovision implant could see the true name of the guy, and the true appearence via images on the surface of the eye.
A true lifesaver for a bountyhunter or a spyhunter.
Technology is Eve's magic, you can explain everything you want...
But... Do you want it ? Fetchez la vache !

An Isk fee maybe, but you're going to have to come up with a damn good reason why we should use real world money to do so, if you're worried about immersion
Avatars have never really matter much in EVE Online, and that's part of the problem; I don't even really know what my character looks like under that hood, because I just slapped it together.
As for immersion, it would be neater, imo, if, while it would list if a character had gotten a sex change/name change, you had to go to the WIS store they had the operation at, and search though the records to find out who and what they were before hand.

Originally by: Danton Marcellus Well, if the immersion is truly lacking from the beginning what is there to break?
Who said anything about immersion lacking from the beginning? We've got immersion now, your character has certain traits set in stone like it is in RL. If someone with too much money to throw around goes from being a Brutor male to an Achur female to an Intaki male EVE turns into a farce and character creation is meaningless.
I did, look around you, in any given system 80%, that's a low estimate, of the names are truly messed up and not even fit for inanimate objects.
To me having characters open to better themselves for an eternity but leaving the name they go by for that same eternity down to a decision made often in a few minutes just doesn't sit right. Why is there no possibility left open to improve oneself once you've grown out of being MadC0W412?

Also, weather CCP deploys one in a lifetime name change or not, it should be possible to have more than just 1 space, maybe two spaces in the name should open doors to having a middle name.

You said it very clear. Now I don't understand why are you opening the door. Look, everybody needs money in this mad world, but more important is having principles. This is like ****ing, prostituing and travestiing EvE, plain and simple. I hope you don't go that road.

Why people just wont make alt that looks like you want to look, talks like you want to talk and use that in ambulation? Sure, you need to log in/off each time you wish to do ambulation but that's the price you pay for wishing to hide your beautiful bottom... (scratch that) face...
Or people should do like I plan to and just roll alts enough to check each bloodlines bott... (scratch that) face, then choose what to use.

thats a first, i dont think anyone should be allowed to change race/bloodline, but allowing names while not allowing gender is ill advised, plus it beats the logic of reason.

About name changes i think a nickname would be sufficient, keep the old name and get a changable nickname that shows in chats etc. So people wont be able to hide since their old name can still be looked up but they dont have to have stupid names they might have chosen 5 years ago. Sex change would be cool but i dont think i would use it, can understand the male players with female chars that maybe dont want to walk around in latex tho (not saying there is something wrong with latex). Race change should not be possible, nor should subrace, but there should be a good plastic surgeon service where you can spend all your isk chaing your face from day to day :) oh and btw, i collect badgers... |

Originally by: Carniflex Name changes would be over the top in my opinion. Would be way too easy to escape from ones history by hiding behind some other name. Gender changes - well - as long as it's expensive enough and limited timeframe relatively expensive offer.
Why couldn't your old name just be in your character sheet?
I mean if they let it happen just once for ambulation roleplay they could put your old name right on your show info.
omg! that's it! your old name could become your middle name, or last name but in "'s so like.
Violet "mothermoon" Vertigo
or something, I don't know.
people get name changes in real life.... or maybe just let us hide our name in stations based on some skill? so we can go in undercover? but it can be hacked, or a bar could have seriucty to let rhe bar owner know everyones real name and gender? it could just be a personal holagram device.

Sounds like I have to schedule a few more Gunnery/Spaceship skills on my max perception/willpower character so I can take the full advantage of my then max intelligence/memory Caldari.
Being able to switch every 6 months as suggested in here would fit most FOTM cycles too.
Point being, attributed need to be fixed, even if that means attribute point distributions that are normally impossible for that bloodline.

What I want to be able to do come Ambulation is actually make my character look like Sarah Chalke. Can the dev's make me a lookalike please? (put a little more meat on her bones though, if Miss Chalke has one failing (and it's a very small failing) it's she's just a little on the skinny side) _______________________________________

I don't like name changes, but the nickname idea is not bad. This nickname would show up on Ambulation (and you could see the real name on showinfo).
And on space you could choose to see just the real name, the nick name or both on the overview.
And for plastic surgery, and gender change.. I think it could be available, but only valid for the active clone, and a bit expensive ISK-wise.

Originally by: ZinderX500 I agree.
It would also be nice for us to have a chance to also change our names
If a name change service ever comes in, it be like most other games, you have to pay real cash for it.
but a sex change might be on the cards though, we have to see what they deside to do.

I don't see how an avatar (incl. sex) change would hide the history? Name didn't change and a lot of people don't even pay attention to the avatars to begin with, apart from few exceptions due to originality. ---

I hate to add any credence to this idea of sex-change and name-change as I happen to agree with Eris, that this is breaking immersion. However I had been looking forward to WiS, finally being allowed to RP and portray my character as being the blind beauty that she is. (Yes I happen to think my avatar is pretty, and yes I want her to be blind..theres RP behind all of it)
This will be taken away from me at the arrival of WiS, so with that in consideration, my character, RP-wise, will cease to exist that day as I won't be allowed to keep her unique features (ie. her blindness, her silvery lips etc)...If that's the case, I might as well change gender and name, and so..I have to support this idea.

I'm all for sex changes so long as it isn't just "*DING* You're technomagically female/male" but let it be shown that you originally were male/female because then it'd be a huge character building point and not just a body re-roll which means nothing.
