Lourdric	Posted - 2009.02.03 03:50:00 - [151] Edited by: Lourdric on 03/02/2009 03:50:53 Originally by: Alex Logan I could swing in either direction on this one. I think however I will support it. What keeps a person from changing their name in the real world to avoid something they did in their past? Nothing really. Though if you dig hard enough you could probably find the truth. Maybe add a skill, criminal investigation, to divulge info like this on people. I agree with Alex, I too will support this. But would be nice with some limitations attached. As in one time name change with Fee. Adding a investagation skill into character back-ground would be awesome. The higher the skill the more info you can get. character name, skill points. even maybe current ship. Tie this into the locator agent option but require a skill set.
evilphoenix Beyond Divinity Inc	Posted - 2009.02.04 02:26:00 - [152] I like the idea of a skill set to get info out of characters such as an alias. I think that maybe if it were to be implemented that way, that may ease the minds of the players whom feel that someone can hide from them. Are there really that many of you that are stalkers?! I disagree with limiting. If they charge real money, that's a revenue stream for CCP which is good for them and what is good for them is generally good for the players. If they charge isk, sure have it double each time or something, nice isk sink. I'll say it again, the implementation should be left up to CCP or the CSM. There are balancing concerns, cost concerns, ect.. that's what they get paid to do. Can we just agree that the having the ability to change your character name would be a desired feature?

Paskis Robinson Hyperdyne Systems	Posted - 2009.02.05 11:39:00 - [154] Supported on two conditions. 1> History of names is part of employment history log (or similar but this seems a good place.) 2> Maximum 1 name change per year (or other arbitrary period designed to avoid name skipping.) People who buy characters want to change their names, fair enough. People who change corps, or play styles, may want to as well. I know it would annoy people who have enemy FC's on their buddy list; hence the extended period of the name change limit. People should rarely need this, but for those who genuinely want to and have good reason to for their own game play satisfaction, the option SHOULD exist.
evilphoenix Beyond Divinity Inc	Posted - 2009.02.06 22:36:00 - [155] Show your support, encourage the CSM to vote on this!
Miner Nine Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2009.02.07 11:04:00 - [156] Edited by: Miner Nine on 07/02/2009 11:04:23 OH MY GOD, If you change your name you'll possible lose all your internet rep! How am I suppose to hate some internet dude that might of quit and sold his character if he changes his name?! AaaaaaaaAAaa
Brick Hampton Dark-Rising	Posted - 2009.02.07 11:05:00 - [157] I don't know the story about why they don't exist, but I'm going to assume it goes with the nature of the game. But, I was thinking, what if there was a name change log, similar to employment history. That way you can see 'He was named Bill from 10.10 to 10.12 and in the Corp Stewie from 10.10 to 10.11 so he is obviously a spy' scammer or etc.
Caedmon Gower	Posted - 2009.02.08 23:14:00 - [158] Supported! I'm happy with my name and wouldn't change it, but can certainly understand others wanting to change theirs. I have plenty of faith in CCP/CSM ability to work out the balancing details, so no "conditions" on my support here.
Kalia Masaer Rosa Castellum	Posted - 2009.02.08 23:36:00 - [159] I can say the ability to change a character's name once a year would be a good thing though you would have to be able to search fo a character by their old name or it could be ruthlessly exploited even only once a year as EVE is a social game. Currently there is the issue that each name in EVE is unique and hence a character who's name was changed would take up two spots. So unfortunantly I cannot fully support the ability to change names currently, but do believe it is an issue that there should be discussion on how to answer.
Angela Moore	Posted - 2009.02.08 23:54:00 - [160] I want it to happen because i hate roleplaying, actually, ive been called gay for making a girl character and giving her a "real name". So im thinking this will be a great solution to my problem

Marlona Sky Caldari Astroglide X	Posted - 2009.02.12 08:48:00 - [165] Horrible idea. Only useful for thieves and people who screw over 4+ yrs of an alliances hard work with the click of one button... If your worried about people holding a grudge and tracking you down for the rest of your eve career then maybe don't do it? Will not support a 'Get out of jail free' card.

Ragnar Foulberg	Posted - 2009.02.14 23:57:00 - [169] I absolutely support this idea on two conditions: 1. Character names can only be changed once. 2. There is a fee associated for the change, similar to changing portraits. If those two conditions are followed, that should significantly limit the usefulness of this change to scammers, but still give serious EVE players the opportunity to correct a foolish name on an otherwise good character.

You mean like we'll be able to respec. attributes only once? Yeah that sounds reasonable... Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav! Also Known As
Lunewrath Amarr Celestial Ascension Tenth Legion	Posted - 2009.02.15 01:25:00 - [171] I don't support this. You picked a name out of a Chinese take out menu, suffer. Implement name changes and you may as well shard the servers imo. Your name, your reputation, carries massive weight in this game (particularity if you misuse it).

Implement name changes and you may as well shard the servers imo. Your name, your reputation, carries massive weight in this game (particularity if you misuse it). No it doesn't, there are so many scammers, pirates, whatever other lowlives you got, around that people simply can't be assed to keep track anymore. These people change corporations like I change underwear too and the game cater to this dummy front business to the point where someone hiding behind an alias is simply another shrug among shrugs. Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav! Also Known As
Ris Dnalor Ex Cruoris Libertas	Posted - 2009.02.15 03:13:00 - [173] Yea, there's plenty of people that need to change their names. I say let em. Generate another source of income for CCP. Just keep their old names in their char info showing a history of previous names :)
evilphoenix Beyond Divinity Inc	Posted - 2009.02.15 13:26:00 - [174] Originally by: Lunewrath I don't support this. You picked a name out of a Chinese take out menu, suffer. Implement name changes and you may as well shard the servers imo. Your name, your reputation, carries massive weight in this game (particularity if you misuse it). Ah yes... And who are you again? Did I mention you can buy or sell a character to dodge this mythical reputation if you so desire? Don't forget of course there are 300 thousand players, so you know all of the pirates, thieves, and crooks? --------
Virtuozzo The Collective Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2009.02.15 16:42:00 - [175] Never going to happen, simply too simple for the more dark and conspiring of us to negate any and all risk & consequences alike in ventures like thieving, scamming, griefing, etc. CCP are pretty keen on the balance between risk and reward so - without CCP providing a method to look up previous identities of characters through whatever mechanism they deem fit - it's just not going to happen. No support for this. Ever. ≡v≡
ViolenTUK Aliastra	Posted - 2009.02.19 03:40:00 - [176] I support this idea. I feel that this idea should be implemented with a feature so that you can see all of the characters names since he has been playing the game. I feel that this name change should reflect to a degree how difficult it can be to legitimately change your name in real life in the uk you need to be known by a name for a period of no less than 2 years. This wouldnÆt be practical in eve so a name change should be no more frequent than once every 6 months. Here is a feature that might bring more interaction to eve. Rather than being able to see all of the characters names the ôShow Infoö for a given character may only show the last name used before the character changed his name. A level 4 agent could be asked to find all aliases known for a character name. The agent could also use an old alias in a search find the current character name. I feel this would be a good feature and would prevent scammers from becoming completely anonymous. We should take care to note that scammers particularly contract scammers use expendable alts, which are scammerÆs main method of hiding his identity.
GATORAN Child Head Injury and Laceration Doctors	Posted - 2009.02.19 04:25:00 - [177] I'm sorry I can't support this. Just because there are currently methods for thieves, scammers and spies to circumvent the name problem, buy new characters and the fact that there are other mechanics that are currently being used unintentionally, does NOT mean we should implement more ways to do it. Its simply a poor argument, sorry. :-/

Its simply a poor argument, sorry. :-/ While I feel that being terrified of scammers is a poor argument against this issue. As is popularly said if you can't afford to lose it don't fly it, if you can't afford to have it stolen don't allow someone else access to it. --------
Larg Kellein Caldari Agony Unleashed Agony Empire	Posted - 2009.02.23 23:46:00 - [179] No. Your reputation is the most valuable asset you can have in Eve.
Sleepindpro	Posted - 2009.02.24 15:49:00 - [180] I say No name change. But think something along with Titles or Nicknames could be good. I do not know much about FW so forgive me if i seem like a noob. This could well have been suggested already and the example below does seem alot like other MMO's like LOTRO , WOW etc so maybe we shouldnt ask for it? We could have something like the "Hero of <battle name>" when you have achived a certain number of FW victories or "slayer of <ship type or role>" when you kill X number of ships in FW.
