Hi there

my idea is having an NPC that can change your character name.
All the usual rules would still apply while choosing a new name, and for security you would have to enter your account password before changing it.

The person could charge a fee for the service, and would be somewhere like Temple of Balthazar

If you think a character name is "too important" to change, then just think that you can do stuff just as similar, like change your class.


Thanks for reading

I would say add a decent charge to this if it were implemented. It would wreak havoc on the servers/database if people were constantly changing names.

If you don't like your name tough, you picked it in the first place. This would cause havoc with everyone changing names.
