Techtriz	Posted - 2007.07.04 19:40:00 - [1] Just curious if here was a feature for changing names of characters like changing portrait. Thanks in advance
lofty29 Infinitus Odium	Posted - 2007.07.04 19:42:00 - [2] No because you could effectively erase your identity without loosing skills. Would be too effective for scammers. Only way to get it changed is if you have an offensive name like '1fuk3durm0m'. --- Project Mayhem

CCP kieron	Posted - 2007.07.04 20:33:00 - [6] As the other posters stated, names are changed only if they are determined to be offensive. If you have a 30 million SP character with a name like eyeR tehN00b, sorry but you are out of luck. We feel a character needs to retain its history and have no plans to offer a name change service. kieron Community Manager, EVE Online, CCP Games Email/Netfang Look Ma, I'm in a Dev thread! Oh wait...

Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2007.07.04 21:06:00 - [7] Unfortunatelly not, CCP fail to see that most the good names that are in tune with the lore of their universe are old players alts and how the game would be so much better off had name changes been allowed.

ElCholo Minmatar FarCry Inc Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.04 21:51:00 - [8] You can always get a job at CCP, then get outed as a dev - I think they will change your name then.

Erm well, I'll have you know, Cho Seung-Hui actually went by the name of "eyeR tehN00b" when he did larp. - - - - - - Change just leads to more problems

Not that im unhappy with my name but would it be feasable to ahve a name history like we have a Employment history? "Kill one man, and you are a murderer.

Well you do permit charater transfers or buyout with ISK. Not even if that happens? So you approve of slavery but not a name change?
Sikozu Prioris Cirrius Technologies O X I D E	Posted - 2007.07.04 23:05:00 - [12] What about a sex change? I dont see why this shouldnt be possible with a portrait swap?
Dave White coracao ardente Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.07.04 23:08:00 - [13] Oh how I wish it was possible Originally by: CCP kieron Dave, that sig is freaky and funny at the same time.
syphurous Gallente	Posted - 2007.07.05 00:07:00 - [14] New Avatars with Ambulation ! However, Thinking I wouldn't want to play past the trial I neglected to spend time on character building, and also forgot to capitallise the first letter of my name. :( ______________________________
CaptainSeafort Gallente Through the Looking Glass	Posted - 2007.07.05 00:10:00 - [15] id love to put a space in my name. and undo the gender reversal my friend did on me "Planets and moons no longer hitch rides on player ships. Their towel privileges have been revoked." HHGG Lives on in EVE!

sableye principle of motion Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.07.05 01:07:00 - [17] I wish it was not for me personally but I think some name changes should be enforced as seeing them inlocal looks awful Join The Fight With Promo Today

Ephemeron Cutting Edge Incorporated RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.05 01:31:00 - [20] Originally by: CCP kieron We feel a character needs to retain its history and have no plans to offer a name change service. CCP could implement name change in such a way as to show "previously known as orginal name" somewhere on character's Show Info If CCP really cared about character integrity, they wouldn't allow having 2 dirty alts per account.

Barbaro55a Caldari Os Lobos Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2007.07.05 08:32:00 - [23] Are names caps sensitive? If not, then is their any reason why somone couldn't change the caps in the name withouot effecting game mechanics? .......................................... We come in peace - My sig and your sig would make cute baby sigs.

How about putting a Capital letter on my first name :(... i regret missing that on character creation : No capital letter on my name is offencive to the spelling/grammar brigade?
Beor0d Congregatio	Posted - 2007.07.05 08:45:00 - [25] Edited by: Beor0d on 05/07/2007 08:45:59 I just regret the zero in my name and when i created my char i didn't know that most of the players are using "real" names instead of this 1337 h4xx0r ** (played the game we don't name before and some CS:S). The thing i want is just one** name change from "Beor0d" into "Beorod <Surname>" thats all. My history won't be deleted etc. //edit And if CCP would allow name changes for ISK it would help to solve this little ISK overflow problem, maybe _______________________ Mining makes mad
Kayleigh Lothian Minmatar KIA Corp KIA Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.05 10:31:00 - [26] Problem with name changes, even for isk... Pilot 1: Who's that new red in local "Dear John"? FC: Never seen him before, ignore him, must be another n00bcorp alt. Pilot 2: Ehh, I looked at the name history, it sa..... TS explodes "cynos..." "titan get out..." "Why is it all white?", "Maaaan I am lagging bad...", "There is no lag in eve, stfu and listen to the FC" A few seconds of total silence Pilot 2: "As I tried to say, I looked on the name history and that is the pilot formaly known as Orange Spiecies, say hello to his little Ragnar÷k..." The reason that CCP put the standings marker in the local chat was that all the right-click show info was being hard on the db. If you do this, you just makes "righ-click show info" a must for most of 0.0.

Some of us don't know hands down what our enemies are capable of at any time and will check this info regardless of namechange or not. Solution would be to be able to toggle 'known aliases' as the first thing shown when checking info on someone. Also Known As
