It's offered in Blizzard's World of Warcraft and that is a paid subscription MMO. I would do it simply because I come with decent names sometimes after the fact and in this case came up with a better name for my toon but can't rename her. I would gladly pay to do that, since I like the name I came up with better than the one that I initially came up with when I created her, since I wasn't feeling inspired then but I did want to experience EVE and not waste my trial period.

Please no. Not now, not ever. The biggest winners will be the scammers and similar.
But as far as "oh no I ****** up" you could always try and petition. But usually they don't change unless it's a spelling error or capitalization.

And if not, at least let us add a family surname, like we can in the character creation screen. I would like to affix Yamalot to my name please. |

Well yes, but only for older players who subscribed when there was no First name and Surname during the creation of Character. And this would be only one time only.
In other way !!! NO !!! GÇ£If reality can destroy the dream, why shouldn't the dream destroy reality?GÇ¥ |

Whenever you come up with an idea first think how it would benefit yourself. Then think how it would benefit the masses. Then think how it would get twisted and abused by the more nefarious members of the game.
I can see someone getting into an incursion corp, deliberately letting the super shiny fleet get wiped out, collecting the billions of mods that drop, getting kicked from corp, changing name and then repeating.
It's also going to take away a one of the biggest negatives with buying chars for isk |

It sounds like OP has a few scammers/awoxers/botters to get a clean slate without rolling new toons... I'm currently taking bets on the following: - CCP Games becomes EA Games' property. - EVE Online will have Microtranctions everywhere. |

Given the number of scamming characters that are sold in the character bazaar without issue, I'd say they are already winning with almost no effort. |

The only way this should ever be considered by CCP is if the old character name was clearly visible on the show info details of that character like your corp history is (so you couldn't erase it's past history with a name change). |

Not saying I support the OPs topic but the scammers will benefit argument is invalid because there is already the Character Bazaar which already is a possibility for someone who burned his name to evade any possible consequences. So it is all a matter of pricing this "service".

Yeah, would be entirely true if there was no Character Bazaar and people would be limited to 1 Character on 1 Account.

Like I mentioned above: already possible with the step of Character selling in between which could potentially even turn a profit on itself. So if the price of say 4 PLEX would be chosen for a Namechange it would be the same like 2 Character transfers
Anyway:

It would involve CCP coding new stuff. I dare to say that there are more urgent matters than this one :P |

SO you are saying there is only Main Characters posting on the Character Bazaar and not 1 day old alts? LOL!
I am not saying it is a good idea, I am just saying that the argument that it would benefit scammers isn't a good one.
That said: I am very happy with my name although this Character was bought |

Why would anyone try to buy or sell a 1 day old alt? What would that be worth when you can just make your own? You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

wow, please say you are a troll.
If not:
- You scammed/awoxed someone with your character - You sell your character on the Bazaar for moneyz - You buy a new character on the Bazaar for said moneyz - For this you use a 1day old alt that has never been seen by anyone and can not be tracked down to your former main - to post on the forum you know? - Voil+í, you have a brand new identity in EVE. |

That doesn't answer the question, does it. There are two open slots on everyone's main. The real question is, why would anyone buy that one day old character, regardless of what it's done, when they can just make their own?
You only answered why someone might TRY to sell one, but if the char is a one day old awoxer for example, anyone trying to sell it would be a moron, and anyone buying it would be even more so due to the fact that they can just go into the character creator, create a new one just as the awoxer did, and discard it 24 hours later.

Get over it already. This thread *again*.
If you think it's "still a good idea" then you posted in the wrong forums too.

"A brand new identity" is irrelevant here. You're not deleting history of that character you sell, it will always stick with that character. Forever. |

Thank you for making my day.
YOU DO NOT SELL THAT 1 DAY OLD CHARACTER! You sell that 30m SP main that awoxed someone doing a Mission in his Bhaalgorn. Or crashed that Mining Party with a Smartbombing BS.
The ISK from that will go to your main (according to character bazaar rules). You move it to that 1 day old character (that you do not sell). That 1 day old character moves it to another 1 day old character on the same account (Because the new owner could see whom you have sent the ISK to).
You delete the first one day old character.
Now you can anonymously buy a new character on the character bazaar, posting with your second one day old character that has no directly obvious links to your former main char (Unless you give someone your API now).
After buying yourself a new main (depending on the scam you pulled probably with more SP) you delete the one day old character and now no API checks will be able to connect you to the character that has previously done something nasty.

Since it does not belong to you anymore it does not bother you.
You can only hope for the new owner to convince the former victims (If they really care to pursue that character that is). |

It would bother me if I bought for example character with awoxing or otherwise bad history. Tbh, I wouldn't even buy character before doing background check. |
