Seriously though, CCP isn't going to make it possible to change your name.
It's already quite possible. Name your character something like 'Homo Jesus,' and CCP will be along rather quickly to hook you up with a brand new name.

I obviously have a dog in this race, but I still don't see why namechanges could not feasibly be introduced with mechanics that preserve consequences. Things like:
name history in the char sheet
notices kicked to people who put bounties on the name changing char
notices to people who have the char on a watch list of some kind
coming up on searches for the previous name in people and places
A lot has been said about reputations too, but honestly, most reputations are by corp or allegiance anyway, not individual, and those individuals with any sort of name recognition would most likely wish to keep them anyway. I don't really see name changes as being particularly useful for scamming over and over, as some have suggested.
EVE has been moving toward not having any ways to screw up your char for a long time. You didn't used to be able to change your char's looks or attributes. Why not names?
It's especially jarring seeing that it's possible in China, why not here?

Make sure you start with a name you can live with. Because people never change their minds.
^ How many times have you seen somebody say, "When I named my char, I was just creating a toon to try out the game. I didn't give any thought to the name, I was just trying to get through the character creation part. But I ended up staying around with the char, and now I'm stuck with this dumb name." |

"I am bothered with my name being nearly identical to my alternative characters giving other players several advantages in game."

Chinchila Roland Palasialdana or

With trans players, I am told (and believe) that this is very powerful issue for them. Yeah.... Right.... Top of the list of things to worry about, I'm sure.... (Pukes all over keyboard)...
I honestly couldn't care less about the opinion of a bigot.
Correction: it only motivates me that much more strongly to support the idea.

Exponential. The PLEX cost should be 2^(n-1) where n is the number of name changes.

Now i may not be the best at math here but always willing to learn.
2^(n-1)
Assuming no name changes would be 0.
2^(0-1) = 2^-1 = -2?
2^(1-1) = 2^0 = 0
2^(2-1) = 2^2 = 2
Assuming no name changes would be 1.
2^(1-1) = 2^0 = 0, so the first one would be free?
2^(2-1) = 2^1 = 2
2^(3-1) = 2^2 = 4 etc etc

Great so everyone who pvps in mid to large fleets will get middle of the alphabet names. Get yourself an M name or be primary. |
