How much would you pay?
I would probably pay up to $100 (real dollars, not plex) for the opprotunity for a one time name adjustment for my main character... wondering if others feel similar.
This is what I would propose for CCP to consider as it could possibly make them a *whole lot of cash* if others feel the same as I do.
They offer a 1 time offer for a name change for the fee of $100 (or maybe $50 to be more conservative). Offered for a limited time on a special week ('name adjust week' or something') as a one time event. Each account has the one-time opprotunity to rename one and only one existing character on that account. Once the name has been changed there are no takebacks and no other opprotunity for rename any other characters on the account at any time.
To keep confusion at a minimal, an automated email would be sent to anyone that had that character listed in their contacts to inform them of the name change. A blurb on their Bio would automatically list former *aliases* for everyone to see.
Theoretically, if enough subscribers take advantage, it would make both sides happy. Subscribers get to finally fix that nagging poor name on their main character (the old name driving them crazy). And if, for example, 50% of subscribers take advantage of the offer, then that would be 175k subscribers paying $100 each to generate a whomping $15million dollars of extra income to CCP.
It could also be done once per year to give all new players the opprotunity to do it once (old players would not have a repeat opprotunity). CCP please consider it. |

If you choose a name you like there's no reason to change it.
Plus I would not buy a character from the bazaar as I prefer to develop them myself.
However for people buying a character from the Bazaar I think that they should be able to change the name as long as the original name is somewhere to be seen albeit not on the main character page. |

This.
Otherwise you should never be allowed to have a name change to cover some massive alliance heist. Or if you just happened to acquire the reputation of a massive tool. You are your name. |

Except we already stipulated that original name will be kept somewhere on the character info. Much like previous corporation.
And I'll add, if its ever traded back to a previous account, the old name is reapplied. |

On one side, both parties would benefit from a one time or reoccurring name change as a) the company (CCP) benefits from another source of revenue and b) player named xXxC00lkidxXx finally gets to change his name to something more.... normal. For this reason, I support the idea as I have played several MMO's in my career where such name change's have brought great satisfaction to both the player base and the host company.
On the contrary, I myself am strongly against turning Eve into yet another game where actions have no future implications or consequences. This would be yet another step into dumbing down the game to the point where, as long as you have money, you can achieve/do anything. Furthermore, current players with a history of scamming / griefing / corp thefts etc. would be almost untraceable due to name changes unless some sort of menu would be listed next to the Bio, Description, Notes that clearly states the players previous alias'.
Personally, I would not pay for this service as I have no problem with any of my characters names however, I would be prepared to pay something along the lines of 2x PLEX or -ú20 if I had the need and such service existed. |

Except real name changes are published in a legal journal or the local newspaper. However, when it comes to domestic violence cases its actually not public. Yet since EvE loves domestic violence. All names would be public record. |

This idea has been covered in hundreds of threads over the years and will never be implemented by CCP. Use the search if you want to read all the arguments again.

Assuming that there was some retention to my old name for transparency and social reasons, I would pay a plex or two.
I would much rather be Quaid or Douglas Quaid, and would not re-roll just to do it. |

I'd pay a PLEX, maybe more.
This name is crap. I pulled it out of my ass and now I'm kind of regretting it.
Not sure if I'd support having the ability. Maybe if it could be done once, and name history is listed in character's corp history or something.

That was the proposal that the old name remains on the character sheet just not on the from page because I'm sure a new owner would not want to see the old one everytime they open the character sheet.
At the time of change it could be recorded in the employment history, a line such as - Formerly known as 'Blah Blah' for example. |

For those of you that like your names already, of course its not something you would pay for... duh! Why would you change a name that you like?
But like some have said already, many of us chose a name in haste and want an opprotunity to change it.

This isn't the case in any place I've ever lived. Where do you live?
If you read carefully, you will see that it is only available for a one time offer for one account. You would never see a character with multiple aliasis. Just a one time name change. |

I'm not the one who re-suggested the idea Mr Douche Mcdoucherton. I could only just imagine a way it wont really effect anyone anyway for this particular conversation other than saying, No. |

It shouldn't be allowed - period.
My first character had a stupid name as I just wanted to have a quick look at the game and didn't anticipate to stick around for years, one of my higher SP characters begins with a rather early letter in the alphabet, so I'd have plenty of reason to want to change them, but I've grown to deal with it (sold my first main, used the fact the other one was primaried all the time for the fleets advantage).
You know... morons. |

It's actually easy to change your name in RL (might depend on the country of course) all you do is sign one legal document and then notify companies you deal with and government agencies that need to be informed. Plus of course you have to send the document as proof although sometimes companies will except a photocopy.
I don't see any real problem in EvE although it might make some more paranoid. Maybe some customers for the resident space therapist.
