and if you would have used the search function (or even a little bit of the brain God gave you) you'd see that the only possible issue would be keeping those who had those chars on their contacts/watchlist updated with the info as well which is easily solvable by sending a notification to those people so they also know that xxxxx is now known as yyyyy. The ingame functions (presence on watchlist, standings that have been assigned to the char) would automatically update thus being a non-issue themselves. An entry in the employment history could be also be done so that all those who didn't have that char on the watchlist/contacts would know that char's old name. The ingame functions are all based on the char id with is a string of numbers that never changes (and has no need to in order to change the char name) and killboards would be able to automatically update the char name as well the next time they got a km with that name on it with a simple api call of "http://api.eve-online.com/eve/CharacterID.xml.aspx?names=Jint Hikaru" (and you can even do multiple names at once)
As far as this "reputation" idea goes if you added in the name change to the employment history then "reputation" would stay with them thus also being a non-issue |

Here's another solution to killboards having the correct name, have an api call that lists all the chars that have changed their names within the last 30 days?. Results for the api call would be both the old name and new name so any killboard could automate the update and have very little impact on the api server. |

That'd probably be the best approach. At least that's what i think. One-time character change, so it doesn't get our of control. I'm hoping it happens. 
that's a CSM tag not a CCP tag beside his name :) |

I wouldn't make it a 1 time deal per account but rather have a very long cooldown (3-4 months at the min, maybe even 6 months?) before that account would be allowed to name change again. |

I was actually thinking about Hi-Sec for my example.
Also, even with setting standings, a name change turns a 'known' someone, into an 'unknown' someone. (until i spend time checking bio's)
Fair point. Upon further reflection of the example though, if you set them a standing (as you should if you're keeping track of people individually and all), their bad standing would still be preserved through the name change and you'd see a fairly large red flag whenever they entered local chat seeing the standing next to their name. If I'm remembering the existing system working like that right.
jint has been posting in this topic since it was first created and we've been saying the entire time he'd get a notification. He's either incapable of reading or trolling. |

2 bil? that's just stupid expensive. Make it only doable once per year and you've got your safeguard. We've beaten this horse dead already with ways for people to keep up with who has changed their name so there is no need to get ridiculous with the req's

Can't understand why name / history isn't wiped when toon is sold .
DERP... because then it would be simple to whitewash characters with well known bad reputations. ionageman TOG wrote:
Why should the buyer be penalized for the previous owners sins .
maybe the buyer should do some research into the item that hes buying, rather than simply looking at SPs. A character is more than the number of his skill points.
it is very difficult to impossible to research a toons reputation if that toon doesn't post in the forums. yes there are some tools to help keep track of scammers/spammers but they have very big holes in them and are not some defacto way to "research" a toon for sale.
