Hermosa Diosas The Scope	Posted - 2011.04.24 11:13:00 - [241] I got to be honest, it absolutley astonishes me, that people WOULD NOT want this. I mean do you have some mental issues? There are many people who want to change for many reasons, one being there name wasnt available when they started, now it is due to people biomassing. Also its doesnt help when chars, corps and alliance names are treated as same. So if its a real issue for people who are so paranoid about history, then have a charname change history - simple! Then you can stop whining. But EVE is stupid it has mechanics for people to scam etc but if people where to scam etc they would change their name and no one would know..so why not here. Seems people only like ideas when it suits them.

I quoted import fragments of the dev blog below. reported by CCP Hellmar \| 2004.05.27 22:24:41 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. A trusting relationship!! Are you serious in EVE? Where CCP bases a game purely on scamming and the scum of they earth? Make your mind up CCP PLEASE!!
Vad SMIRSH	Posted - 2011.04.24 12:28:00 - [243] I think a player who purchases a char should have the right to re-name the char at time of purchase.
The Ying	Posted - 2011.04.25 11:19:00 - [244] I'd rather pay for a name change than any other micro-transaction possible tbh.
blurh	Posted - 2011.04.25 11:29:00 - [245] I think once the char is sold, the buyer gets the option to change the char name and portrait, price included in the $20 transfer fee.
Ilike ithard	Posted - 2011.04.25 17:20:00 - [246] Enough people have already said it, so I will just say no. No, no, no.

Although I must admit that I'm not shy of quoting to separate posts.. Makes it easier to read. Actually he posted that reply on the 28th March, thinking you started this thread the day before, rather than the month. Edited for clarity. You just now noticed? You really suck at trolling.

I agree you can change with time and eve is all about long term thinking, but it needs to be limited. Also if you just messed up while choosing your name you get a second chance, if you mess it a second time than I dunno...

Ricken Stargate Command and Mining Inc.	Posted - 2011.04.27 00:32:00 - [251] I support this feature. The name I chose for my main character 8 years ago isn't really that cool anymore.

Go pure carebear from a hardcore pvp character. You find an amazing character that has a terrible name... Terriblename1 was the name that belonged to that player and not yourself. With the name change history you get to change your name without it erasing the overall identity of the character. It's a win-win situation. Anyone boasting about it being negative due to layers of hiding etc. etc. Doesn't realize all the actions they take to identify someone are right where a name change would be. (look at standings, employment, kills, etc etc.)

I was not talking about your smiley face mr. reading comprehension. For having a large enough ego to insult other's comprehension you really can't look far into what someone is typing/saying can you? I'm happy you now support this change though Mag's... Especially with all the bumping you do by posting. I want to thank you for helping support my ideas, but I have to ask that you start posting constructive comments related to the idea and thread rather than nitpicking posts by individuals involved in sharing ideas and opinions constructively.

Xzar Fyrarr Suddenly Ninjas Tear Extraction And Reclamation Service	Posted - 2011.04.28 21:41:00 - [258] At first I liked this idea for one reason - SINGLE time use. When I first started out, I mispelled my characters name. Xzar Fyrarr is always being announced "Zar Fyrarr" on comms. It was originally intended to be "Ex-Zar" Fyrarr. Simply put in my biography the "proper" or improper way to pronounce it. ------------------------------------------------ One Cannot Fully Appreciate Peace Until They Have Experienced True Pain. ------------------------------------------------- - Xzar Fyrarr ;
SXmasteraccount	Posted - 2011.04.30 01:44:00 - [259] Edited by: SXmasteraccount on 30/04/2011 01:44:37 For those of you looking for the whole story on the last page, here is what you have missed: I've introduced the idea and through the forum feedback I have accepted that the idea may need small changes, and presented them as they have come. The idea and feature as it stands now: The ability to change your character's name is implemented. 1. CCP is required to change Employment history to 'Character History' which will now also display past name changes. OR 2. CCP finds another way to easily access name changes which are presented in a similar way that employment history reads. CCP must implement a way for players to search for characters using old or past character names. This search must identify what their name is now. There is a service fee to change your name which is still in debate (5 USD to 1 plex) Players are limited to the number of times they may change their name within x amount of time (Still under debate) All standings set for the character previous to change and set by the character must remain unaltered. All mutes / Chat blocks must remain for characters who change names Points to still debate: The amount it should cost to utilize this service. Keep it rational and affordable. The time one should be limited to changing their name. Should players who purchase a character receive a free name change? (If not, why?) Your opinion / idea if you disagree with this feature/idea and why. Keep in mind this should be a constructive comment or arguement and I will not take you seriously if you post something like "lol no" or troll this thread. Edit in: I am also adding this to the original post.

Commandante Caldari Dark-Rising	Posted - 2011.05.01 11:34:00 - [261] While I understand the reasons I don' like and support the idea to change the name. I have the impression that a lot of people did not take the time to think about a good name because they just wanted to start the trial account, changed it to a real account and that's it. They probably choosed the wrong bloodline and specialisation but had to live with it at the end when they realized that it had been better to choose something different for PvP. It also drove me insane for a couple of days when I realized after one year skilling that Commandante is written wrong and should be Comandante. Let's say again: That's EVE! My opinion: You want to play the game but you are too impatient to skill like most of us had to do. You think that just buying a 60m char will make you a big guy ingame and good at PvP? In this case be happy that it's possible to buy a char and live with the name. You want a second great skilled char for logistics, PvE or whatever? I think it's a good deal to save a few years of skilling and live with a crap name. You want a unique char with a special look and name you like? You need to start EVE from scratch. Do what we all had to do and skill it for the next years. That's EVE and what makes it great. It's like Lord of the Rings. The first book is slow to read but the story is going to be epic. I even stopped skilling my main for weeks to skill a t2 hauler alt. It's not a big deal. I think to keep theses rules is important for the game's future and the attitude of the community.

The thing is I took the time to choose a name. But with time I don't feel like I want 2 accounts anymore, the other being The Yang. So I feel like I could change my name to something that has more sense now. I started from scratch and don't feel like I want to do this all over again. Either I keep a name I don't like anymore, or I quit the game since I really don't want to start a new character.
Morpheus Mishima Caldari	Posted - 2011.05.02 08:35:00 - [264] I don't know if this has been suggested before - but why doesn't EVE have a name-generator? IE. when you create your character you get to choose race, gender and all that. And they provide you with a basic randomized portrait, why don't they provide a name? I'm sure with some effort CCP could come up with a pretty good name-generator based on the names of all the agents and what-not in this game already. Just make it race-specific so you don't get a Minmatar name for a Caldari toon, and vice versa. On top of this I suggest that we get more space / options for names, but no non-standard characters and foreign letters or symbols. So you'd have a namespace for firstname, lastname, call-sign / "nickname". And titles might be added if earned in game. Or not :P Also, give us the option to change the name of characters - atleast when transferring characters to another user.
Zahira Wrath Amarr Dominion Strategic	Posted - 2011.05.02 14:27:00 - [265] Yeah I support this issue. I would say when you pay the Character transfer fee, for an extra $10 you can rename your char. OP, you might want to bring this up to the CSM. You will do better with them, than in here.
Darth Sanskrit	Posted - 2011.05.02 19:47:00 - [266] Edited by: Darth Sanskrit on 02/05/2011 19:54:48 Edited by: Darth Sanskrit on 02/05/2011 19:47:48 Originally by: SXmasteraccount Edited by: SXmasteraccount on 27/02/2011 18:42:08 CCP your top competition offers this service to their customers: http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/2531/ccpdenies.jpg So I challenge CCP, Please demonstrate how identity is lost with this service if you design a simple tab that records all histories. Please see this image for a crude example: (CCP Character chosen at random) http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/4020/historychange.jpg Images changed to links. Spitfire i agree we should be able to change our name and this blasphemy of ccp being able to change there name shows that we should be allowed also. even if it cost money then why are they complaining. i mean hey if they dont want the money thats ccp's loss just shows that maybe they arent as smart as the people from WoW or Aion. just saying because both those games suck but they have a name change maybe ccp needs to change a little to meet customer satisfaction rates. one thing i can say without worry is that WOW=crappy game play but fantastic customer service EVE= Fantastic Game play but crappy customer service

iOSJake	Posted - 2011.05.03 05:12:00 - [269] Post the historical name in the character's information sheet for a period of six months and you have my vote. Cost of name change: 2 PLEX (you've gotta WANT it)
Prince Spiderman	Posted - 2011.05.03 08:21:00 - [270] I don't support this idea. A name in EVE is the major/initial identification of the char and its activities since birth. If you buy a -10 2003 char and you get smacked all the time it's your job to communicate and the issue will be solved over time. Just add a note to the bio. I am sure CCP will never allow to change the char names because it's a strong and important part of the game and its growing history. It would mess up the EVE history. Even if a 10 years old char will be sold to another player it's part of the game to identify yourself with the new name or start a char from scratch if you want a spcial name. Be happy that you are allowed to buy a char to save years of skilling. That's the price. Now it's your job to deal with it. It's a fair deal. Next wish will be: allow us to exchange skillpoints because I am not 100% happy with what I have bought or what I have skilled because from my actual experience I had skilled totally different if I can go back. It's like I will donate my son a second hand bike in red color but he wants the brand new model in dull black with the latest technology. I can offer him: you get the second hand for free and repaint and upgrade it on your own or you need to spend time to work for buying the one you like. I can really understand why player want to change the name when they have bought a new char. But it should not happen. I can understand that player who want to get into the game asap take not really the time to think about a good name. But that's their problem. Learn to live with it because there's more painful stuff in EVE you have to learn to live with.
