Edited by: Andrea Griffin on 30/12/2008 17:02:16 People seem to think that this will cause the buddy list to fail, and I'm not sure why. I would be floored if it did. I'd wadger 100m isk that it uses the same unique character IDs that the rest of the system uses.
Besides. CCP already has the ability to change names. I've seen it done as the result of a petition of mine. And nothing else changes - just the name.
Remember, we're not wiping coporation history, contract history, standings, security status, etc. - we're just changing a name. It's very much like changing your portrait.
Just keep a list of "Formerly Known As" somewhere on the character sheet, and charge Real Money for the process, and I'd be quite happy.

Originally by: Jah'Ret Khan Edited by: Jah''Ret Khan on 27/11/2008 14:39:13 Makes all tracking agents and forms of pilot intel useless.
Stupid idea.
You mean using buddylists and local for intel rather than what it was intended for?
Intel is intel even without names visible anywhere.
No, I mean creating lists of corp members within a corp and listing their prefered ships and fitouts, areas they are active and then using Locator Agents to monitor their movements.
I'm talking real intel.
Now stop trash talking my trash talking, your suppositions are just lazy and not very intelligent.
Agent: "I did some digging and discovered that this pilot has recently changed his name, his new name is <> and i discovered he is currently located in <>"
???? I think that's the intelligent part you were talking about
As for local Intel you're telling me you don't show info on people as they/you enter local regardless of if you recognize their name? and for lists of pilots in corps and preferred ship types, I'd imagine you would track this if you're going to fight said corp
This is that Lazy part you were talking about

So long as it comes with the caveats mentioned, I don't see why not. ... and I really think they should boost T2 plate HP.

Full support. Even if name is changed, it will remain on friends, and blocked lists. So it could be tracked. And will not be used to hide theirs identity.
But its really stupid, to buy some char, and he or she is called eeeek or rofltl000zzz, xyzanywaywhat....especially if you are RP. I consulted moralists to learn how to appear philosophers to find out what to think and novelists to see what I could get away with and in the end it all came down to one principle:win or die. |

I support this. Theirs already a million ways for people to scam, this won't make much of a difference. I like the idea of having a name tab like the one for employment, plus limit it to 2 times. This would give tons of people a second chance who didn't put much thought into their character's name without starting over.

Obviously people already live with it. Just because YOU don't want to change your name doesn't mean someone else wouldn't like to. Just because YOU don't care about your character's name doesn't mean that everyone else doesn't care about their character's names.
Once again I'll say that we should leave the limit to name changes up to CCP or their balancing team. Why limit it? If they charge money for it, that would limit some people. Depending on implementation CCP/GMs could view names that were changed to prevent people "One Upping" one another.
Pretty common request to create a "name tab" or some other method of tracking the character name. Once again, I am only requesting the ability to change my character name not spell out exactly how it is implemented, the fee, or anything of that sort. All of those tasks should fall on CCP to determine what is fair and balanced.
Here is another example of where it would be nice:
In your corporation you have a rank structure (or faction warfare?) When your character was created you created a "Lt Bob" But as far as your corp is concerned you're a Colonel, it would be nice to make your name match right? Or you just want to add that to your character name "General evilphoenix" anyone? --------

Someone can change their character's pic for a fee why not be able to change the name for a fee? Course i don't ever see this happening. |

I support allowing people with ridiculous names to change theirs for a fee, but entirely at the disrection of the the GM - if it's deemed that the individual is wishing to change their name for nefarious reasons they're told to shove their money where the sun don't shine.
Yeah right, like CCP would ever throw your money back in your face, but I can dream! |

Originally by: Captain Thunk There is no good reason to rename a character at all.

Unless you happen to have chosen a name that starts with 'A' and you wish to participate in fleet fights without being the top of the enemy's primary list every time. Supported.

Edited by: Ecatherina W on 14/01/2009 12:07:28 Against - and strongly so!
First of all - if you are allowed to change the characters name, are you also allowed to remove the employment history? Because if suddenly Joe Average is showing as having been in my corp and I am convoed by a CEO for a reference - then I will have to say "Eh, we never had a Joe Average, we did have a Joe Dumbass, but I have no way to know if it is the same guy..."
Your name is your most important asset in Eve. Have a good name, a name remembered by people as a trustworthy and respectable player - it is worth more than ISK.

Not exactly a compelling argument. You say "We've never had a Joe Average. Bye". The person asking the question leaves confused and will remain so until they learn to read. What a pity.
This thread has seen the same arguments over and over and every one of them has been thoroughly debunked. So please stop repeating the same old crap and come up with something new.

bla bla bla
That's why you ask your new "recruit" for references from previous corps. Then you talk to them. You get references from from these references. Talk to them. Then you repeat until you're either satisfied with your recruit, or have learned enough to deny this recruit, or are bored and realize it's a game.
Doesn't anyone know how to do a real background check these days? |

You should be allowed to change the name of characters you purchase.
People should not be forced to use the name "CobraBytez." |
