The "reputation" argument against this doesn't hold any water, given that corp thieves and such can easily sell one character and buy another if there isn't any technical reason, and I don't see one, they should just do it. If there is a technical reason, maybe a dev can explain what it is.

I have to +1 this. as when you start the game you don't know what your doing. I would love a name and race change. But I do think there should be a history and a timeline of how many times you can do it.
Just saying because my name did not have 4 0s to start it just took me a few try's to get started and know what I was doing in the game. ----------- Born Amarr, Raised Minmatar. |

I think this feature is definitely needed, since eve is a game that takes A LOT of time to get the thinks you need, plus its more of a social game you will end up playing this game for a long time. Meaning that you might start dislike the name you chose back then when you started. i definitely want to change mine, and i can pay for it as long as the price isnt ridiculous....
Think it this way if you want, a popular criminal wants to change ID/name because many ppl know him now and this causes problems to his career |

Well it's also obvious that Rabbit and Fatal didn't go by those names while in the Caldari Navy.
I picked my name in spite of the character creator telling me I was born artificially. I don't care for RP (at all) but I figure if a state is willing to mass produce tube children, CALDARI CITIZEN5249058345834 would be more common.

why not make it shown in a few ways how to "manipulate" your name.
first, payed name change, for permanent, should only be aloud 1 time every 10 years, goes down in employment history as NameA to NameB on Date of change. this timer get refreshed when the character gets changed over accounts.
then underground name changes, a semi permanent method. pay a agent X amount of isk to have your real name masked with a Token name for a month, or until a tracking agent is used on your token name, revealing your real in game name.
for both methods, your contacts in good or excellent standing will be notified about the name change via notification. all else is unknown to others.
it adds a sink, to where thieves and criminals can get "false" identity's, and a sink where people will run traces on players regularly to make sure they are not up to no good.

Interesting ideas, I just can't say I agree with the 10 year thing.

Originally by: SXmasteraccount So is there any chance to a CCP response in this forum? (let alone this thread)
You wouldnt like it, past replies to threads as this has been a resounding no, the character history thing isnt even new either and that got a solid no.
Please provide the links to those topics then. I don't doubt a similar idea has been proposed, but I do doubt that CCP flat out said no to everything mentioned in this thread.
I am well aware of their stance that if they implement a name change service without any sort of tracking history and way for players to search for those past names it opens the ability to change your identity. I have never heard nor seen CCP argue or debate about tracking and search functions added in for the purpose of this service. That is basically what I am asking to see.
I was reading this thread and was interested about it so I've tried to find any related posts made from CCP about it. The only thing I've found is this one: http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=167 back in 2004. It will happen. Maybe in 4-5 years.

It could ideally work like this:
Every character is allowed one name change in its lifetime. Once a name change has occurred, it is flagged forever - it can never be changed again, regardless of how many petitions one sends, how many times the character trades hands, etc.
The name change would show up in the employment history, e.g.:
GoonWaffe from 2011.01.13 08:39 to this day Science and Trade Institute from 2010.12.11 13:06 to 2011.01.13 08:39 Name changed from Oldname on 2010.12.11 13:06 Science and Trade Institute from 2009.08.16 10:37 to 2010.12.11 13:06
The reason I believe only one name change should be allowed in a character's lifetime is to prevent situations like corporate recruiters having to dig through a history of 9 names, along with 15 corps in a character's history. Another possible situation would be, say, an Arazu pilot known to light a covert cyno whenever he/she shows up in local, changing his/her character name and essentially having a "clean slate" to work off of every other month or so. Oh, and awoxers.

Yeah I must agree that it should be very limited. Once a lifetime or maybe once every 2-3 years, maybe 5. Eve is a long term game so players tend to change with time. I really like my name ftm but I dunno if I will still like it in 5 years.

I really believe it would be better to identify and implement two methods of preventing that situation:
1) A monetary cost 2) A rational time limit (Similar to Remaps)
1 month, 3 months, or 6 months.. I'd honestly pick and choose between those timeframes. Anything longer is bound to cause additional threads in Features and Ideas requesting the time limitations to be reduced.
Myself personally: I would implement a 3 month limit with the ability to petition corrections/accidents within the first 3 weeks.(3 weeks only because some petitions take forever to get responses.. But CCP GM's seem to be on top of the majority of issues now of days).
Now for the cost, Honestly 10 dollars is a great figure. It's a price to pay that anyone playing this game can afford if they wish to change their name that badly. It is also large enough that if CCP implements without any time limit; A situaion with 9 name changes has costed the account owner $90.00. Wealthy or poor that is an absolutely ludicrous amount to be spending on micro-transactions in a videogame. Also, about the combat/cyno story; standings got you covered. If you have a red in system you ought to be expecting something to come from it.

I agree with this idea. This would simply be another cost-associated character service, much like the account move and portrait changes have been. And lets be honest, those services haven't always been available either.
Though in the distant past they did mention that due to the way items and hangars were associated, this wasn't possible. Not sure if that is still the same, though.

I didn't buy this character. You should be able to rename your character, but not ones you purchase.

So far I like this solution the best but that's probably because it's exactly along the lines of what I was thinking and with the same concerns. Maybe increase from once to once per 1-5 years, though...but I wouldn't be complaining about once, either! ;D

The fact is that this should be allowed as long as a history is kept public to be seen, which would void all the negatives addressed by this proposal.
Many players start this game like any MMO and pick some random name or one they brought from another game and once they've been in EVE awhile and get into the spirit of it, they wish they had picked a name that better suited the EVE universe. Or the ones that picked something silly and then ended up taking the gamer seriously but are stuck being named like a clown.
I think its something that should be allowed at least once after your first year in the game. You can change your name in real life and you should be able to do it here for the sake of ingame realism at least.
Charge a plex for it and make it a one time only event after 1 year of active account holding and let it be kept public what name you had before. Problem addressed and solved.

Exactly why I put such a melodramatic thread title. I did just that as I know others have by bringing over my name without thought.

not supported. I won't support things related to extra fees or micro transactions. One monthly fee is enough.
Earlier, when I involved myself in pvp, I wish I could change my name, I was always primary and I went mad. I petitioned too, answer "You can only rename a character in the first 15 days of its creation. Now I'm fine with it as I stopped pvp.

I've never purchased a character. But if this idea is (well-) implemented I'd actually be inclined to purchase one or two.
I think it goes without saying that a history of previous names is a must and a deal-breaker without it.
Overall, I think it would actually do net good to the game.

Nice find. I quoted import fragments of the dev blog below.
reported by CCP Hellmar | 2004.05.27 22:24:41 Thank you to everyone for the feedback. Some of it has been constructive, some emotional, but all of it has shown how much feeling is attached to the game by those that play it.
Name and portrait changes are a common petition made to the GMs and a common request made to the Dev Team. It has been proven that name and/or appearance changes are a necessary part of any successful MMOG platform; it is just a matter of what time the ability to change names or appearances is implemented. However, as with any major changes to the identity of a character, there are issues that must be resolved. [...] I am sure we can all agree that name changes need to be limited and placing a monetary value on it is a simple and effective way to achieve such a limitation.
[...] There isnÆt as much need to limit that as the name. [...] portraits are a big part of your identity in EVE, the name is much bigger so we are more than willing looking into having portrait (now free) swap price lower than name change. Your identity in a virtual world is one of the few things that form the basis of a trusting relationship.
CCP could you let us enable a new name through the character sheet if people want to? It would be like an attribute change, but limited to one change per year is fair. Add a Historic Aliases tab that will appear and list off prior names and their dates. No CASH or ISK for name changes necessary as this will work fine.

This is a service which will require labor to develop and continuously offer to customers. As discussed in this forum thread the fee can also help prevent abuse of this feature and service. CCP is a business entity and not charity, so I wouldn't expect to see this feature or any like it without some sort of cost. (See Character Portraits and Transfers.)
My question to you Angst; Since this is not a micro-transaction and the service/feature does not give a player an advantage over another player who does not utilize this service, at what point would you compromise to actually get name changes into the game?
