My dear friend that name sounds familiar, would Gareth be one of the South Hampton Gobblecoques, or one of those dreadful North Hampton Gobblecoques?

For multiple good reasons. The important part is that you're still searchable under your old name.

/c A list of previous names, as well as a carry over of standings will mitigate that. Also, there may be some judgment involved, and limits. Like, once per year maximum, or CCP must approve, or the name change can only be done when the character is sold, and so on. What its really for is people who chose poor names and want a better one, or got stuck with "Gallente citizen 645763".

Nothing that a "known alias" tab on character info and some crest API data can't cover for these concerns. |

We'll let you know more in the future if we move forward with it. It will make life vastly more difficult to track people due to lack of recognition in places like local where you don't have time to go through everyone's bio all the time. And this assumes there are no bugs in the alias list. I'm really not on board with any form of name changes in EVE. The only thing I could be on board with would be a rule that names need to sound/be semi real/lore friendly. So l33tD34th would get a one time change to a more real name. But otherwise heck no. |

That discussion should have ended with the person even mentioning it to be fired .... at times i really can't grasp how you guys can't see how the smallest things have the biggest impact in eve .

Names have consequences.
Eve used to be all about consequences.
Used to be.
To be.
Or not.
I guess that's the question.
Whether tis better for one's self esteem to suffer the much deserved laughter and fingerpointing caused by ones inability to spell, capitalize or used 13375p33k, or simply choosing a good name in the first place.
To whine, to have consequence.. no more.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Actions have consequences is what this game is all about , and yes that starts when you create your character.Also the people with gallente citizen 64465 are not ''stuck'' with it as they can change their name.

People who have had their name changed due to it being offensive get a free one time only rename. If they still have the * Citizen name then they've not chosen a new name.

The only way I could get on board with something like this is if you name is just a citizen number from one of the factions.

Good God. This and a corp history cleaner. For real, fkn NPC corps (same one, never changes) take up half the space and all the 1-mans we all start in order to conquer New Eden then we realize that the effort just to keep a single POS online for a month isn't worth it....

I'll weight in. On the one hand i think this is a horrid idea, reputation needs to stick with people, a name change even with a history can wash that clean.
On the other hand, this is the future, and aliases/name changes are common even today. And i have an alt who has one too many s' in his name i;d like to change, now that that trial account has been purged

We'll let you know more in the future if we move forward with it. the problem i will keep bringing up, people already complain about sorting through Corp histories to be a pain for people who swap around alot, and trying to figure out who their loyalties lied with during what event. It would SUCK to be sorting through 3-4 people who were all at one point amed "Luke Skywalker" or something stupid around the same time period, and just trying to figure out who was who, let alone who they were allied with, duing any given time. All it does is drastically increase confusion and levels of Pain In The Ass identifying possible recruits will be, and the only benefit is so trolls and people who had the mindset of a 12 year old at character creation get to completely ignore their choices.
Solution:
-Of course there will be a name history that's undeletable. -Max one name change per yearr or perhaps every two years. Sorta like the current remap. -Will cost at least 1 PLEX to rename. Perhaps make the cost incremental, so changing name once = 1 PLEX, changing name twice = 2 PLEX etc. |

If we limit it to once every few years that you're allowed to change name and make it cost a nice PLEX or two I'm sure we can all catch up when people change their names :) |

nope. would just be a cashgrab for ccp and one more annoying intel you have to go through for recruiters (wouldn't even affect me at all)
the only reason i would ever allow that is on a successfull character sale. |
