Moshi University of Caille Gallente Federation 3	Posted - 2015.03.27 09:51:03 - [1] - Quote I see a CCP dev has said on reddit that a name change service is being talked about, and that it might happen sooner rather than later. Is there any more info on this? Pricing, ETA etc? I tried the forum search but it didn't work.

I was asking if there are any more details available. Below is the full quote from CCP Terminus: Quote: Name changing services have been talked about. Might happen sooner rather than later.

Reputation is a huge part of this game, don't let people slip away from that by allowing a change. /c That's bit of a naive way to look at it. Do you think your contacts (good and bad) would disappear just because a person changed their name? It would be extremely inconvenient and rare, when most other functions in this game are made easy to use/follow/etc. Not everyone is trying to escape bad reputation. Not only that, CCP could do like other games: Store an alias list. Basically you need not concern when an idea is barely fleshed out. Once upon a time the Golem had a Raven hull and it looked good. Then it transformed into a plataduck. The end.

But I though CCP already had a name change system for it's employees. I say that because on minute I see a guy named "CCP something" and the very next day the same guy is "RIOT something" ...

Thank you for responding, I appreciate it. Just my two cents, but I it's definitely something I'd like to see implemented, with the necessary safeguards to appease the rather vocal forum users who might be against it.

You mean, everone who has the renaming person as a contact, should receive a notification-mail? What for? The person in question might rename himself for the reason to not be found by those who know him, so this would completely remove the point. Just because everyone can potentially see who he was, doesn't mean everyone should know right from the spot.

The fact that eve is a game where the social part plays a major role along with your character personality, reputation as you said, and history it would make little to no sense allowing people to change name as it would destroy or kill a very important and most certainly interesting part of this game. HOWEVER People buy, transfer and sell characters all the time for one reason or another, and because of this I don't agree with the idea of someone to be obligated to carry on with the old reputation of someone else who used that character before. And also if you think about it, anyone could pretend to be a different person behind any character at any time and claim he has just bought it. With that said I see no reason to stop people from name changing. Now Should CCP limit it to 1 name change allowed per year? Yes, they should.

I guess they'll need to add an "AKA" tab so we can track name changes. I'm sure it will help the character market, too, because people can buy a character and change the name and appearance and make it their own.
kes88 Swords of Persephone 86	Posted - 2015.03.27 14:13:42 - [35] - Quote So so so in favour of this. I don't want to change my name to "escape" my reputation. Not that I really have one, but either way I'm very happy to accept that if they did introduce it it should be clear what your previous name was and contacts standings stay the same etc etc. My boyfriend just recently re-subbed and also asked me about whether you can change your name yet, because I think it's a shame to devote so many skillpoints and devotion to a character whose name you don't even like. To the people who just say "oh suck it up" well I have, but the 30 seconds I spent typing in random names and coming up with this ****** one shouldn't really mean I get penalised with such an unsexy boring name for the rest of my time in EVE (may it be long). Or at least that's how I feel.

But as CCP Terminus said, it's definitely something we've talked about internally (and even mentioned before this externally). We'll let you know more in the future if we move forward with it. A feature like this should be limited to recently bought characters where it can be confirmed manually that another player is actually using the character. To be quite frank I don't care how much money this is worth to CCP, it's a bad idea to allow open name changing and I'm rather disappointed that the company is contemplating following a course of short term profit over long term integrity. A character's name is the only true identification they have in the game available to other players. Other than this all we see is a space ship. Taking that away compromises everything that EVE is about. All those political ploys, thefts and underhanded activities and other black marks are rendered meaningless if a character can clean slate themselves so easily, and well you know it. I don't make the game, but at least I'm in touch with what it's about. I might suggest developers invest some time doing the same.

If you don't want the reputation of a character, don't buy the character. I completely do not like the idea of being able to change names. This game is all about consequences for your actions. Changing a player's name goes a long way in letting someone avoid the consequences of their actions.

Yes. It's funny how allowing a name change with an easy way to see the previous name of a character being played by the same person somehow trashes the concept of personal reputation and allows people to escape consequences, but the selling of a character to be played by a completely different person somehow doesn't. It's almost as if people don't bring this up because they are happy to make billions of ISK selling characters.
Sibyyl Gallente Federation 24149	Posted - 2015.03.27 14:49:58 - [41] - Quote I can understand Chribbs's point, but name changes have already been a part of the game and we've been learning to deal with it. Pilots biomass and other pilots take their name. The old pilot's posts still show up in the new pilot's history, but the new pilot has a new Character ID (as stated). Pilots restored from biomass who have had their name taken (like would happen with Marlona since someone has already reserved the name) There is a large number of Amarr/Caldari/Gallente/Minmatar Citizens ##### running around in EVE because they were old trial accounts who lost their names or they had offensive names (like AC). What's funny is, AC's posts sometimes shows their old name if you refresh the page enough times so there are still gaps in the system. Corporations also get deleted or renamed due to being offensive. I wouldn't deign to know more about EVE reputation than Chribbs, but my sense is that reputation is a complex interplay of many different things, not just your name. #afkleadership Gü+Gü+Gü+ -óß¦ªß¦ç-ó Gü+Gü+Gü+ EVE:Valkyrie pilot unmasked (her name is Ran)

McChicken Combo HalfMayo The Happy Meal 521	Posted - 2015.03.27 16:48:57 - [49] - Quote No to name changes. The scenarios Sibyyl listed are not common. You'd have to go through hundreds if not thousands of characters to find one that applies. Local right now serves as an intel tool. As long as that remains characters should stay tied to their identities. I do not want to be clicking through 30 names in local when I'm in a pod because Mystical Might keeps changing his name every week. 400 red contacts later using the contact list to figure this out is a no go. You would need a label for every pilot of relevance to you. Enemy FCs, pod smartbombers, cynos, supercap pilots, etc. Then you'd need to look through each of those labels constantly to ensure you're up to date on their new name. It's too much. All because someone was daft enough to name their character something like McChicken Combo HalfMayo. Sorry, but deal with it. There are all our dominion Bookmarks in overview ~ Fleet improvements
Logan Revelore Symbiotic Systems 49	Posted - 2015.03.27 17:11:20 - [50] - Quote +1 I for one would welcome such a change. Make it cost a PLEX or two. I can't really say I'm super happy with a name I made up years ago. A compromise. Let a player change his/her name only once, and make that option 1+ year after character birth.

That's a little extreme. I imagine if CCP does this, it would be as a courtesy to those that facerolled their name as a trial and decided to stick around. Meaning it would be a one time per character thing. But just for fun, let's give your scenario a look. At a minimum, it would be one PLEX per change. Do you really think think some guy is going to drop 21 PLEX per week (A few [3] characters x 1 PLEX per day) for whatever it is you think he'd be doing? Seems pretty unlikely to me.

One mission is complete, can we scrub the spy to send him into another one to alleviate fear of cross detection? That might be worth a PLEX every two or three months. The right to free speech doesn't automatically carry with it the right to be taken seriously.

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.

Name change could only come after the mechanics have changed to make every player permanently immune to any breakdown of trust issues. Otherwise it becomes ass-hattery online and not even about space pixels. Bring back DEEEEP Space!

Every other game I can think of that has name changes does it like that.

Reputation is a huge part of this game, don't let people slip away from that by allowing a change. /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". Know a Frozen fan? Check this out Frozen fanfiction

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.
