Edited by: Neliel Soifon on 06/08/2010 16:37:07 note: posting with alt for reasons explaind later
tl;dr Do you think a corp name can be changed if it's clearly a spelling mistake? If no: why? Who do you think could be damaged by doing so?
A couple of days ago i've discovered something shocking to me: my corp name was missing a letter.
I was sure i double checked it at the time i created the corp, that's why it's so shocking. Sadly i became aware of the error only after 8 months ( i don't look at my corp name everyday, you know ).
So after filling a petition a GM told me that it's impossible to change my corp name, becouse of the rules and becouse it's too late (8 months).
Well, i understand that, but consider this:
- it's clearly an error mistake, it's just one letter missing, the name will still perfectly recognizable - it's a one man corp and it always been - i, with my one man corp, was never involved in any war - i speak to nobody, nobody know me or my corp, so noone will even notice or care (posting with alt for this reason, so if GM will change his mind nobody will know what corp it was) - i never had any contract or pos or office for rent - my corp was NEVER involved into anything - there is no other corp with a name similar to mine
So... why? Why can't a spelling error be fixed? Who could be damaged by doing so?
I'd like to read your thoughts. Thank you.
PS sorry for my english

A GM has already told you, why do you need people with no control over the situation to tell you the same?
If you spotted it at the time of creation you would have been fine. 8 months is too much.
I appreciate you are alt posting so your corp name doesn't get grabbed up by some smartaleck that reads this thread, good move. The only option is to disband your corp and reform under the correctly spelled name.

Which Leads to the obvious question answer.
If the GM said no, then why not destroy your your corp and make a new one. As you say there are no assets to switch, no coordination with other players. And as far as faction of the corp, it doesn't take much to get that switched or is that your problem ?

"My problem" is that i'll always have that mistake in my corp history, it's embarassing :)
Why am i posting? I already told you, to hear your opinion: do you think that fixing a spelling error (just 1 letter) can damage anyone? I respect GM decision, but i just can't uderstand why he took that decision.
He let me understand that it can be done, but not after 8 months becouse it's too much. I've found the error after all this time becouse i don't read my corp name everyday and i was sure i double checked it, well, i was wrong.
Come on, please, don't let me say the same thing all over again, i'm not trying to get anything if not understanding if my view of the whole thing is wrong (tl;dr: fix a spelling error, why not?)

Because you should have named it correctly in the first place.
Because it could be open to abuse by people wishing to hide their identity or corp history. Even only correcting a small mistake in the name can cover tracks.
Because there is no reason good enough for them to change it for you. It hasn't bothered you for eight whole months. You should pay more attention.

Basically you made the mistake in the first place, then took 8 months to notice the mistake and now you want it fixed.
HTFU either dump the corp and start afresh, or put up with the mistake, if it bothers you that much then ragequit (after giving your stuff to me :p)
Your last chance of maybe getting a resolution although it's rather a slim chance is to maybe escalate the matter with the petitions, but don't expect any different outcome, why do you expect the gm's to correct your mistake.
If you've been in a solo corp for 8 months then you seem quite happy as so, so why does it bother you that you had a typo corp name in your employment history, eve is a game and if you're really that concerned then maybe eve isn't the game for you, people aren't really that bothered about spelling in eve, you've only got to look through the forums to find that out +_+

Suppose they help you because it is just one small thing and has no effect on anyone. Next day they get a petition by another guy saying "Hey, you helped Neliel, so help me too! It's just a small two-man corp and I only war-decced one other!". Now the GM has to pull up all sorts of info to see if the next guy is telling the truth or not. In two weeks seventeen GMs are full timing to verify whether the corp rename petitions flooding in are justified or not.
It's easier, better use of the manpower and fairer to disallow it completely, especially if such an easy way out exists with destroy and remake.

Maybe CCP in its neverending quest for profits should create a feature whereby you can change your corp name at, say, the cost of $20, like changing your avatar.

First of, there is never a clear spelling mistake until it is pointed out, I mean how is CCP supposed to know if you wanted it spelt that way or not?
I do believe GMs can and will change it I think something like 24-48 hours after the corp is created, same with alliances incase of spelling errors..
However I have to agree with the majority of posters here, I mean first of not noticing the spelling error for 8 months?! Thats terrible and leads me to think you only realised there was a spelling error once someone pointed it out to you..
Seriously if it bugs you so much, drop the corp and recreate it, so what it will be on your employment history, I doubt most people will give a damn, would look worse to stay in a mispelt corp imo

I don't think so, i would have never said if the GM fixed it and even if he was going to change his mind after i started posting here, i could have simply said the opposite.

Yeah that's terrible, but nobody ponted me out, i doubt anybody even know my corp :P

As spelling seems not to be your thing, just accept it and move on, or make a new corp. You really have only one other option. Bio and re-roll your char.

My corp's name is correctly spelled, but the shares issued to me, the CEO, are mis-spelled. It's annoying as heck. I wish I could just trash the shares and issue new ones.
