A name change. I know that CCP says that name changes aren't technically possible, but then how do people become renamed "AmarrCitizen 123456" when their name is offensive?  Name changes are a constantly requested feature. Just keep a history, and notify people who have that character on their contact list when a name change happens. Make it 3,500 Aurum, a full PLEX, and limit name changes to once per character per owner.
I would buy a character or two if I could change the names. The main reason I haven't bought a character is because so many of the names are utterly brain damaged.
Would "featured" corporation recruitment advertisements be considered an in game advantage? As in, when searching for corporations to join using the in-game corporation listing, having one's corporation appear before others if Aurum is paid. Doesn't help you blow people up, manipulate the market, or anything else, and doesn't prevent people from seeing the other corporations. Perhaps 1,000 Aurum per month.
What about advertising on the television in the CQ? This could be for a corporation / alliance, or something like Red Frog. Double cool if you can use your own (approved) image and/or video. Maybe 2,000 - 3,500 Aurum for this, depending.
Increased biography length. This is something that the RP crowd in particular might enjoy. It could even be sold in increments... 250 Aurum for an extra 500 characters. Buy it multiple times for even more bio space. Same for corporations.
I consider awarded corporation medals to be a pretty special thing. It costs money just to make the medal. Make medals extra special by uploading your own medal image at a cost (2,000), and awarding such a medal cost a little extra (250). Images have to be approved of course.
Same with portrait background images. The default backgrounds are cool, but being able to upload your own background could be really awesome. Charge Aurum for a background every time the portrait is updated. Maybe 1,000 for this, maybe 1,500.
Same idea with custom corporation logos.
Extra bonus points if a corporation can buy a custom background for portraits, and only members of that corporation can use it (at no cost - the corporation should buy this). Imagine everyone in Super Deadly Viper Pirates of Death having a coiled, ready-to-strike snake behind their character. Oh, nifty! A full 3,500 Aurum for this.
Skins for ships are cool, but what about customized skins for towers and outposts? Towers should be cheap-ish (1,500), outposts should be more expensive (owned by large alliances, they have the ISK available for larger PLEX->Aurum conversions).
Naming solar systems that your alliance owns would be pretty awesome too. Make it relatively expensive (again, sov holding alliance should have some iskies to splurge), and also allow the system to be referred to by it's "real" name so that it doesn't screw up bookmarks or people who want to link to the system but don't know the "cool" name.
All prices are price points where I would be interested in buying the product. In general, for personal and corporation vanities, the cost shouldn't ever exceed that of a single PLEX. Alliance vanities should be more costly since you have (in theory) more people available to contribute.
