Max but wait... if that's ok.. then why not a name change that saves your old name? as in, if you show info the name comes up as "blah blah blah AKA the dark one" or whatever. I mean doesn't selling a character and then buying one have a worst impact than just having a name history? better of two evils?

Davin Forsosa Caldari	Posted - 2010.01.14 12:28:00 - [31] I wish there was a paid feature. I didn't know too much about the game's lore and wish I could change my name to better suit a Caldari character. It's not like the feature can be abused. Even if it could, this game supports people creating characters, infiltrating a corp, stealing, then deleting said character and vanishing without a trace... what harm can a paid name change system do?

d3vo Isotope Laboratories	Posted - 2010.01.14 15:39:00 - [37] CCP could make money off of people paying to have their name changed. But to prevent players from "hiding", the changing names can happen every so often and a "name change log" should be posted online. ch33rs

Vossejongk Caldari Bendebeukers Green Rhino	Posted - 2010.01.14 16:48:00 - [43] Confirming I would be willing to pay $$$ to change my name, picture and gender all at once (Preferably "trade" with my alt) The concept is real simple tho. Give each character a unique user ID, that is not related to the actual name of the character. Changing the name of the character wouldnt create issues with the unique user ID number and if everything is linked to the unique ID then there wouldnt be problems with finding back stuff from people who have changed their name ? But then again I cant really approve of any of this because this is my signature

Mr Epeen	Posted - 2010.01.14 21:11:00 - [50] To quote myself from another thread on the topic: Quote: Having a name change for RP reasons is a good idea. I wouldn't have a corp with Xspock, xspockx, Sp0ck and Spock113 in it. But here's the thing. Let's face it, this is wide open for abuse if the players have control of it. So what I would suggest is you get one shot at it. One. And you don't pick the name. CCP does through a name generator. You can repeatedly hit the change name until you get one you like, but it will be based upon your race and be randomly generated. And like with the portrait change it will cost you RL money. Call it an idiot tax. A way to make it clear to the gen-me's that there is no free lunch. You must be responsible for your own decisions, else you pay for someone else to make them for you. I have made many character names over the years and managed to do it without bracketing an already taken name or adding numbers for letters. Or being just plain silly ('cept my forum alt, of course). If you can't come up with a decent name to start, odds are you never will be able to. So you pay CCP to do it for you. Mr Epeen

stupid flanders Raiders Of Civilization	Posted - 2010.01.14 21:32:00 - [51] Love my name Was actually surprised it was still available. Really wanted Stupid Sexy Flanders tho.
Mr Xanatos	Posted - 2010.01.14 22:21:00 - [52] I made the mistake of giving most my toons across 3 accounts very similar name so when 2 or more of my toons are in system everyone knows they are mine and that I am multiboxing. It tips people off when trying to scout another toon in etc. Would be nice to pay some cash just to change them. Maybe 1 change per the lifetime of an account, like attribute respec but only once. Id defo change a few of mine.
Mr Cleann	Posted - 2010.01.14 22:31:00 - [53] CCP allows for a player to change their portrate for $20.00 a shot. It would be nice that they could create something simular to a name change. CCP strives to make this game simular to life but in a futureistc setting. Name changing in the real world is a common thing. CCP is missing an opportunity to make some isk by not allowing that feature. Since unlike the portrate, where the 20.00 seems to be through away moonty as i suspect the whole picture swapping thing is automatic. The name change fee could be used to generate an auto eve mail to all the people in the characters address book alerting them to the name change. Call it a postage fee :)

Assistant Beaker	Posted - 2010.01.14 23:56:00 - [59] Putting in just a little bit of thought before creating the character is never a bad thing.
Kyra Felann Gallente	Posted - 2010.01.14 23:58:00 - [60] You know, it'd be nice if you could change your name, but it kept record of old names like an AKA list or something similar to how it keeps track of your employment history. Also, if someone adds you to their (buddy?)list, and then you change your name, you'd still show up, and maybe have the old name in parentheses or something. There could also be a timer (6 months? a year?) before you're allowed to change your name, or even only allow it once or twice ever per character. That way, you couldn't completely escape your old identity (which doesn't really matter as much when everyone has a million alts), but if you really hate your character's name, you could change it, or at least the one that shows up on chat windows, while your old name(s) would be in your 'show info' window still.

Being able to change it just once and having the old one still visible in "show info" would be just perfect. New players start with 2 neural remaps available because they don't quite know yet what they are doing when they pick their initial attributes. It would be uber cool if we all had the ability for 1 name change in case we picked as a name the first thing that came to mind because we just wanted to give the game a try, but then felt in love with it.

At least if I could make this starting number a letter, like Insan1ty or something .. Its so uncool with the number, makes me a primary every time we bloody fight! Especially against Tri .. They always do target calling by names .. stupid Tri! I'm afraid that swapping letters is not permitted under the policy, that is an actual alteration of the name. Example: If someone is named "Insanity" then nobody can have the name "insanity" as the system recognizes them as identical. "1nsan1ty" is considered to be a unique name apart from the other examples I mentioned. We will only provide changes to uppper/lower case letters if it is obvious that the name was originally intended to have it. So changing "john" to "John" would be considered, changing it to "jHOn" would most likely not. It is largely up to GM discretion however, within the boundaries the policy as presented. Anyways, back to work. -------------------------------- Senior GM Spiral EVE Online Customer Support Team

If you can't come up with a decent name to start, odds are you never will be able to. So you pay CCP to do it for you. This sounds good. I've played at least one MMO with a random-name generator--I believe it was Age of Conan, but it might have been Warhammer Online. You could always type in your own, but there was a button where you could have the game come up with some "random" names suitable to your character's race and sex. Anyway, something like that would be good so that new players who are interested in the RP/immersion side of things can get an idea of what sorts of names their chosen race should have, even if they don't use the generated name exactly. CCP obviously has some procedures for generating appropriate names, since most NPC names were procedurally generated, as well as most system names, so adding this as an option for character generation shouldn't be too hard. I, for example, might have picked a different name if I new the sorts of names Gallente tended they have. I didn't know that their language was similar to French until well after I started playing. I think my character's name isn't too dissimilar from Gallente names, though, so I'm fine with it, really.

Glengrant TOHA Heavy Industries TOHA Conglomerate	Posted - 2010.02.04 16:43:00 - [76] The idea that people want to change their names comes up again and again. And the reason CCP won't do it (very good) is that recognizing characters (enemies, friends, business partner) is confusing enough over time without name changes. If people could change it - even with the old names listed in Show Info - they could hide behind that new name. That would be a big hassle for many vs a cosmetic fix for a few. Not a good deal and therefore not going to happen. Deal with it. My sympathies to those who are stuck with a stupid name. Offering a nice name generator during char generation is a good idea though. --- Save the forum: Think before you post. ISK BUYER = LOSER EVE TV- Bring it back!

Angry Poster	Posted - 2010.02.04 17:03:00 - [77] As stated many times before I'd be willing to pay 200 USD to get a name change. CCP could really make a lot of money if they finally gave us this option. To prevent people from scamming and then renaming you could simply make it possible to still find the characters under their old name even after their renamed. Or even display the old name in the show info (eg. Angry Poster aka <old name>) or something like that.

Ma'Kahn	Posted - 2010.02.06 10:46:00 - [86] The name change policy is stupid. The reasoning behind it doesn't make sense. Characters have uID. So for the system itself the name doesn't make a difference. Standings do the rest and if the whiners really get too angry about having to live with somebody changing their charname once in a while, CCP can just impose a minimum time interval for name changes similar to what they've done with attribute reallocation. I think it sucks to not be able to change a charname after some 4+ years of playing. It's bad customer service. People change. They shouldn't be forced to keep a name they chose 4 years ago. And with the way the skill system works, just re-rolling isn't really an option either. It's not like this is WoW where you can make a new char in 3 weeks.

the plague Epiphyte Mining and Exploration Majesta Empire	Posted - 2010.02.07 16:51:00 - [94] I'm not convinced that this would be nearly as much of a big deal as some people are making it out to be. If the policy permitted a single name change for a fee (similar to portrait swap) AND there was a tool on the forum to look up past name changes, then I really don't see the problem. It would generate a little more income for CCP, players would have the option of getting rid of awful names, and alliance security reps would still be able to do a background check on a character with only one additional step. Honestly, it's something that CCP should have considered a long time ago.

Tobias Xiaosen Total Xenophobia Elysium Alliance	Posted - 2010.04.25 05:40:00 - [97] Personally I would love the option to change my name. I had no idea when I started that there were so many Tobias's already. But I do see where CCP is coming from on this. A system allowing name changes could easily be exploitable. I have a little suggestion though. How about in addition to making name changes cost the same as a portrait change, but also make it so that you can only ever change a characters name ONCE on the same account. That way if you screwed up you could fix it, but you wouldn't really be able to abuse it. It would also be helpful to those buying characters so they could choose their own name once it switches accounts. In any case I know this is just wishful thinking. ~ CURRENT INTERNETS = + 305238

It is also hard to pronounce, albeit that's a whole different thing and what I'd like to change mine is no less easier to say, it'd be a proper Minmatar name :P But anyway yeah about your argument, that could be said on "fixing" the 1000 player fleet battles, and plenty of other things - "who cares, you're just taking the game too seriously." Hypocricy is rampant in the world, this is one of those things. Just because someone has a different opinion on how something should be done doesn't mean they are any less "too serious" about some issue than you are about something else.

Dominatus Crispus Nation of Muppets	Posted - 2010.04.30 19:50:00 - [137] i agree... i wish changing names was an option we had. even being a paid option such as changing a picture... i have an alt who i now think is ugly and has a very misguided name, however, i wont pay 20 bucks to change the pic, but i would quickly spend 20 bucks to change the name, and at that time, i would even pay another 20 (totaling 40 bucks) to change the pic at the same time... real life dollars and cents talking ccp... you do want my money right? We are currently recruiting... Are you ready for null sec? [Details]

Got it I will do as you say and beat myself in the head with a tac hammer.
DemonicDragon Eye of God Systematic-Chaos	Posted - 2010.05.06 21:23:00 - [143] Worst character name in this thread checking in. I made this char back in 2004, when I was 12. Now I'm 18. So yeah.

Stuart Price Caldari The Black Rabbits The Gurlstas Associates	Posted - 2010.05.07 02:25:00 - [145] Edited by: Stuart Price on 07/05/2010 02:30:05 My refusal to use a comedy name combined with a total brain freeze during character creation led to my current state. If I ever come to hate this name I have bigger problems in RL than in game though. It does lead to some interesting stalker scenarios though. EDIT: You know what though, suddenly I've had an idea so simple and brilliant I'm amazed I haven't seen it before... Aliases. Much as directors and CEO's can set titles, you should be able to set an Alias for yourself. It replaces your name in space and at the top of your character sheet with your REAL name being given on the sheet as well (being unalterable) and searching (or running a locator agent) for an alias OR player name brings the same result. It also fits beautifully if you're a criminal/outlaw type; "Stuart Price, also known as 'VORTAG THE INCINERATOR' has killed a rifter again. What a douche.". Putting the 'irate' into 'Pirate'
Nakila Ikkoini	Posted - 2010.05.07 05:39:00 - [146] Edited by: Nakila Ikkoini on 07/05/2010 05:42:28 A limited paid name change was recently proposed in the assembly hall. If it gets enough support and feedback it might very well become a reality. I don't see why it shouldn't be implimented with restrictions. http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1313030
Masda Grignard Gallente DeathByDestruction	Posted - 2010.05.07 08:13:00 - [147] No, worst name ever reporting in RIGHT here. Do not name a character while super tired and under the influence of substances.

Verfanny	Posted - 2010.05.07 11:34:00 - [149] ifif Family a "fif" is another derogatory term for an homosexual in french, maybe this can help you get your name changed :) Also, some 12 years old (well at least he sounded like that) once PMed me in WoW telling me if I would like to get banned because of my name. I never understood why but i just /ignored him and never thought about it again. I now know that "*****" means something else in english... oh well...

Athina Alarei	Posted - 2010.07.24 23:41:00 - [151] I would hope that perhaps CCP would allow you to alter your Character/Name with Incarna coming out, seeing as you will have a full body avatar instead of just the chest-up portrait? Please CCP? :) When I created my name I wasn't aware that fleet commanders call the names alphabetically. My avatar's name begins with an A. sadface
MrEcuddles	Posted - 2010.07.25 20:53:00 - [152] I agree
Merovee Amarr Gorthaur Legion	Posted - 2010.07.26 00:00:00 - [153] I love my name too bad its not my main, my alt is my main, it got carried away with skills oops. Of Mordor
Sally Cooper	Posted - 2010.08.05 08:42:00 - [154] I think the idea of this mmorpg is to make money, i don't understand why they can't make another feature which can bring extra income.

Richard Christy	Posted - 2010.08.05 11:26:00 - [160] Edited by: Richard Christy on 05/08/2010 11:27:34 Originally by: ifif Family Hi, As the title says, I don't like my character's name anymore, is it possible that CCP allows me to modify it? Thanks in advance Yes, it's possible. Just be sure to create an offensive name from the start. Then once you're bored with it (and assuming nobody else have whined like a *** to the s to have it changed) you can make a new alt, then petition yourself. Then you, too, can be called "Amarr Citizen13535672344564576", or a variation thereof. Originally by:** Scrapyard Attendant My name got changed from Asshat Mcfat for being offensive... WTF My alt got changed from Sweaty Minge. I couldn't believe it.

Rita Zechs	Posted - 2010.08.08 22:40:00 - [167] Originally by: GM Spiral Originally by: 1nsan1ty I made mine ages ago.. and i hate it now! At least if I could make this starting number a letter, like Insan1ty or something .. Its so uncool with the number, makes me a primary every time we bloody fight! Especially against Tri .. They always do target calling by names .. stupid Tri! I'm afraid that swapping letters is not permitted under the policy, that is an actual alteration of the name. Example: If someone is named "Insanity" then nobody can have the name "insanity" as the system recognizes them as identical. "1nsan1ty" is considered to be a unique name apart from the other examples I mentioned. We will only provide changes to uppper/lower case letters if it is obvious that the name was originally intended to have it. So changing "john" to "John" would be considered, changing it to "jHOn" would most likely not. It is largely up to GM discretion however, within the boundaries the policy as presented. Anyways, back to work. Hi, can you comment on the name change method described in this thread? At least one forum celebrity used it successfully, and maybe countless others.
