signed, I actually went back and started a new character in order to get my current name, I would have rather liked not having to do that.

I agree. This is a good idea. No real downsides (corp thieves ? make a name history, just like employment history) and it's done! I would pay 15$ for a name change. I'm happy with my name, but not the surname, which happens to be a real surname of a German pop artist - the fact I wasn't really aware (guess it was a subliminal match in my mind to Xavier).
CCP - listen to our needs! :)

It's also very very easy to do - currently every character has their own database key (char id in the api), and the name associated with that database entry is just an attribute. Changing that name is just the same as changing the portrait key for a new portrait.
The balancing issue is the anonymity presented by having a new name, but as has been mentioned here and elsewhere, that can be overcome with a similar list to employment history.
-- These are my personal views and in no way represent the views of Proxenetae Invicti, which maintains a neutral stance stemming from the strong ethics demanded of its work. |

Actually I would love to have that feature. For my main who was created when I was stupidly thinking a callsign would be good for a Pilot's name... Man was I wrong.

I'm happy with my name, but I would like to see this service implemented for *shock* other people. It should, however, only be allowed once every 3 or 6 months.
Other than that most everything has been posted, a well thought-out idea Danton.

There's always room for improvement and new angles, posting a fully covered proposal from the getgo is bad for business as it really can't be kept current and in the public eye with illegal bumping.
That's why I only ever post half-finished ideas, yes that's it...

ok, but you can't have less than 1.0 standing and/or bounties on you. You pay $10 and even then, for 1month anyone can petition your name change and if GM agrees, cancel it. Depending on how eve's database is set-up you might need to quit your corp prior the change (roles or whatever). You can change it every 6months or smth like that. When searching for your old name you appear also. Sorry for all the restrictions but i'm pretty much against, since I believe 90% that will use it shouldn't be allowed to...

Grg is primary. You have to be a complete muptard to go with some jumble of letters for a name just to avoid getting shot at.

I was actually counting on some support from those KIA challenged guys, the poor saps who figured it was a good idea to incorporate their corporate tag into the name.

/signed
If this is implemented as an ingame feature, maybe there could be 2 forms of name change - one that affects current standings and another that doesn't? Sort of like legal vs illegal name changes. Ofc both would list previous identities.

Yes, I too would love to have the ability to change my name and wouldn't mind paying for it either in ISK (few hundreds of millions) or real money ($15.)

Hey CCP it'd be nice if you could fix the forums so it wouldn't turn off my desired settings every time I come to the site and have to log in again. That way more people would see my signature and find their way to support this cause.

Old names should still be searchable in eve and lead to the same character that now has a new name.
One name change every 'X' months allowed and a real life fee. Also a name history should emerge in your info if you have changed your name.

Of course the alias should still show on a character search. Otherwise it would be used for hiding, that's not what I'm getting at here but a chance to develop your character after the fact, the single defining moment where creativity might have been lapsing.

CCP feels it would lead to abuse, with people hiding behind alias', not at all like hiding behind alts or bought and sold accounts, with their owners having little to no regard for how their character is percieved as it'll serve its purpose and be sold on...

Given the very real prospect of games turning into movies at this day in age, would CCP really want the lead in their epic saga to be known to all as Homo Erectus?

What's that noice on the horizon? That's the horde of possible revenue. Welcome the new mammon overlords and make namechanges a possibility or introduce a level cap so we can all max out and start over with a real name.

What will it hurt to implement? It's not like it'll make it harder to catch macrofarmers, it's not like we have a perfect system in place to ward against corporate thieves and them not finding sanctuary despite flaunting their names and deeds.
Why should we have to settle for a universe where the telltale sign of someone being an alt is a good name? The first and main character being rushed into existance and as such not thoroughly thought through.
We cannot and will not re-roll 5 years down the line, give us the tools to build our characters and to improve the immersion in EVE. |

One thing this thread brings to mind is a burning question about ambulation. Being that we are going to be able to get out of ships and see our characters in full 3D, how do we, who have created our charcters some time ago, get to alter the likely effectors for our body? are we all just gonna be doomed to staying at what ever the default is?
Also i've had an idea that in effect, you could get your "liscensed renewed" and update your picture, say every 6 months or so, for a bit of isk. So you can change the background lighting and character orientation and such. No alteration of the facial features of course, as that would require surgery, and be most expensive *hint* |

They actually plan on implementing plastic surgeries in stations, along with less drastic changes like clothing and hairstyle changes being possible.
To the OP's idea: /signed. In really big letters. While there's nothing especially wrong with what I've got, I'd like to be able to adopt a more comfortable moniker for RP should I ever choose to go that way. Or if I ever think of a better and more unique alias than 'Rook'. Curse me and my lack of identifiable positive traits! ______________________________________

Given the recent developments it puts the notion of forcibly changed names to the forefront. Can we please have a ban on wholesale ripped names such as Daniel Jackson, who sadly figured in the news lately, Darth Vader, John Sheridan, Drizzt and all and any other truly re****ed names people opt for.
That being said an option for the ones knowing they lacked in the creative department back when is still in short order. Face it, characters are being sold, no-one is going to start over again for a name and with the characters being sold on the accountability you waive as the only defense for not implementing this is a figment of imagination.

I wonder is this something that'll get picked up on during a CSM meeting or is it all about server performance and alliances?
Is this forum at all relevant anymore?
