Character Transfer GÇô Name Changes should not transfer in the event of a Character Transfer (reverting to the first name while preserving full name history) and/or no character having been transferred will ever be allowed a Name Change. This is highly divisive, but it keeps the character market level
[**] Only with Character Transfer -- views have been going both ways lately
Real Need GÇô GÇ£"Homm3rsexsual" changing to "IkillU2and4eva" should be rejected, but if "Homm3rsexsual" changing to something similar as normal human name (like John Peterson, Cliff Johnson and such), should be approved.GÇ¥ By Gordon Colt
One time only GÇô again, divisive, but with a strong following and inherit merit of encouraging legitimate use
Begin with the Same Letter GÇô The new name and the old name must begin with the same letter to deter Name Changes on the basis of being targeted in fleets
Security Rating GÇô Character must have above a specified security rating to receive a Name Change

Like the essentials, and most of the debated points, except for those above
- As long as you can search for the prev character and bring up the new one... some of these points are redundant, but that would need to be an essential feature
- Sec/standing/sp hit - dont see any need provided people pay. This is an administrative task for CCP, so I think it's unreasonable to expect this for free. Character transfers are 2 plex I think? I'd be happy with 2-4 plex for this, moderately extortionate to reduce time wasters. There should (imo) be a fee, and it should either be eye poppingly high or limited to once per year (w/e).
- Char tfrs - as long as they are searchable, why shouldnt the new owner be able to change the name
- Real need afaik is already addressed by CCP (ie spelling errors), but if people want to change one idiotic name to another idiotic one... who cares? It's their choice, and hopefully their money they are spending so.. pfft not our call to make.
- One time only is unfair on subsequent players
- Same letter... mmm mebe, but we dont know what will happen in future with fleet mechanisms, so a massive shift from A-C names to X-Z names might bite ppl later on. If there's a large enough fee in place, and CCP actually put a warning "if you're doing this because of fleet mechanics, bear in mind we may change things later (muhahah)" really, people cant winge. I could see the flipside of this being implemented that FCs reverse target calling anyway and go Z-A which would be pretty amusing.
- Sec rating... nah. Not all -sec ppl have been out griefing. There's some sort of moral judgement tied into that, which shouldn't be relevant in this.
Good luck with this proposal, I hope it passes in some form |
