Edited by: Annabel Dorn on 05/04/2010 09:02:04 Hi,
I'm not all that fond of namechanges.. If it would be implemented i'd like to see it as follows:
1st chance: you get the opprtunity to change your name after your trial period. You will be asked in game wether you are satisfied with your character name and wether you want to change it or not. (this will help the people who took a foolish name when they started this game) This will only work for your first created toon.
2nd chance: Some people don't realize how stupid their name is until they join a corp. So the first time you apply to a player corp you get another chance to change your name. The CEO and directors of that corp get a notification of your namechange!
3d chnance: You just bought a toon form someone. It's great toon and a good deal. You just hate the name. Again you have a chance to change the name. (this feature doesn't work for toons transferred between accounts owned by the same real life person.)
cheers,
Annabel

I don't like how you try to steer peoples wants and needs for a name change, people come to revelations at different points in their EVE career, some might be very late and people like me going on 7 years may be dead tired of their persona. Not that I am.
Also I don't like it for people buying characters, I loath the practice and in no way do I want to cut them some slack.
I still want the feature any time a player pleases with whatever cost and papertrail is necessary to curb abuse.

3rd option would be nice to have.
and to everyone:
Tbh, I really don't understand all those paranoics that say name changing will ruin EVE. And others that suggest that we should have public logs for your every action, add some watchful eye to monitor everything you do.. what are you people, Big Brother fan club? and please stop with this "you are your reputation" bs already. Cuz you are not. To date there are tons of sold and resold characters who don't give a wooden nickel about old reputation. Name change should exist. Period. It's normal, it's in many other games, it didn't ruin anything there, it won't destroy EVE either. Meaning you'll be able to change your name doesn't mean that 1000's of people gona change their names all of a sudden. I remember when WoW first introduced paid name change to players, people were affraid too, they thought that everyone will go on ninjalooting rampage - did it happen? Hell no. Most people chose to stay in their guilds, with their friends and to have the names that they took when created their characters. Same here - if some freak wants to steal stuff from your corp hangar - he will, in fact such things happen all the time, don't you know? Name change or not, they doesn't care. While normal people won't do such things even if they can change their names after. Not to mention that it won't be free, not every youngster has a credit card you know. Of course there are some mature people that would still behave like kids and QQ over pixels, but that's rare.
And even if you don't like the idea of name changing for all, then make it at least for those, who buy/transfer chars? It's 20 per transfer, right? add, say, 10 for name change - so we have total of 30$. Now how many scammers would pay 30 bucks after each scam just to have fresh start each time? c'mon, get real. If you are pro scammer, you probably make new accounts for that, it would be cheaper. If you are isk-seller, you probably have other means (more effective) to accumulate income. Just use common sence goddammit!
Because people are scared of few idiots that would actually try to use this feature for some scams, many legit players, that ONLY want to change their xXx1rL0rDxXx or w/e else names into something pretty, have to suffer (and leave CCP without few extra bucks too) |

Why support name changes for people with no time invested in the game that merely throw money at it to reap the benefit of someone elses commitment and not the other two scenarios?
People buying characters are the least of my concerns.

Im going to have to support this idea. I made my character back when I was either a freshman or junior in high school, and back then i thought this name was cool, and what have you. Now its 7 years later, and i kind of want to immerse myself in this game... but im finding it hard with a crappy name like the one ive got now. I would gladly pay a RL fee just to get it changed, and while other people are happy with their name, there are others out there that are unhappy with theirs and would love to have it changed.

Ok, first of all, No.
I would rather see CCP fix some of the current bugs, then create a feature that will add dozens more.
Also, if you want to reinvent yourself, go make an alt.

Yes bugs and lag has everything to do with this. I'm sure aliases will create a ton of problems, just as corporate history almost ruined the game, I could hardly play for a year after that mess was introduced. Go away trollbait1!

I'm just looking for a one time name change myself.
I picked this because someone had said that the Gallente are descended from the French.
But I'm tired of being asked "are you French?"
I'm sure you can all agree my name is pretty lame.

You could put this in as an Assembly Hall proposal, you know. So we can thumbs-up it. :p
Also, I'd like to see this, for obvious reasons.
I just kinda see a ton of people wanting to use it to either make their names unpronouncable, or pick names beginning with letters that are in the middle of the alphabet.

Someone else took the idea over there. I don't go there since I think it's a divide and neglect move on CCPs part, breaking up what should be one constructive input forum into two, one of which they can readily ignore with the new and 'improved' forum in place.

Yet another thread on how to add more shine and tinkle? Why cant we spend some of this energy on pointing at balance issues, lag issues, and the like?
I've seen no less than 20 well thought out and examined issues with game mechanics, some I agree with, some I dont. Can we , as a community, start to look at these please? Stop with random, pointless threads that add nothing to the functionality of the game. At least for the time being.
That being said, I think that the name change idea is a good one, with, the addendum that they are limited to a 6 month hold between changes per character, and, each character has an assigned number that is never changed or removed, to maintain current game mechanics on bounty, standings, and contact lists.
I would also like to see that the practice that CCP has of allowing characters that are created, deleted, or simply allowed to lag in to non-active status, keep names.
After a period of inactivity, they shold become their number, opening up the name for availability to the active player base, and the incoming new players. When I created this character, it was due to frustration that I landed upon this name. I liked the name, and might only add a secondary name at this point, but, there were 22 different attempts before I found one that was available. Give a man a fish, and he has one good meal. Teach a man to fish and he has a way to **** off his wife every Sunday. |

With Incarna there will be a whole lot of new things to look at, would you want all the fancy stuff cluttered by a subpar floating name?
I hope to hell there won't be floating names but if there are...

I think this is a great idea. I'd give my left one to get rid of those two eights either side of my name - not least because I'm often primary for those FC's who call targets alphabetically... 
Back in 2004 (omg!) I had no idea about a proper or decent character name for a game which a mate of mine encouraged me to try. I also had no idea I'd still be paying my subs some 6 year later. The only other regular payment I've had for longer is my mortgage...
I'd happily pay a fee (ISK or rl cash) to make an amendment to my character name. That fee should also increase (by stupid amounts) for those who want to make further changes after the first change is made.
