Anet needs to focus on more imporant things like:
- Personal build templates
- Ability to edit your PvP character without having to delete it
- Storage stuff
- Shutting down bots
- etc

yes we should be able to change name but you get into things like hair color i would like to change mine once in a wile i also find that needs to be more ability to customize your character to make it different tweak a few things

its not a hard feature - its already there for people who have offensive names. Just charge an obscene amount of money and only allow 1 change a month, or have 5 max name changes (like changing server area), to prevent abuse.

I made a R/A planning to be an assassin when factions came out, but after I realized people didnt want assassins in their groups, I started using ranger skills, but since I had Assassin in my name people wouldnt let me in groups, not that I care, hench ftw, but its still annoying on missions that are hard to hench like gyala.

Now that the next chapter, Nightfall is coming NCsoft and aNet would have a good opportunity to add a rename feature. This would be the only thing to make me buy the chapter actually....

"What should my IGN be today?"
Seriously... you are the only people I've ever seen that complained about wanting to rename your MMO characters... it's ridiculous. Anet shouldn't have to worry about people naming their character something stupid and wanting to change it. Like I would of never even thought of this. I can't possibly see a company supporting this. I can't think of one game where you can just go and rename your character like this.
And IF this was implemented, the only way I wouldn't see it as a terribly lame addition is if everything became account-name based. Instead of having "Blah the Blahblah" as a name, you would have their email adress (save the @something.something). So if your email was theawesomestpony @ hotmail.com, on the guild member list and friend list, it would show up as theawesomestpony (character they are playing with).
I still think it's dumb though...
Sorry 'bout the whining. I just couldn't hold it anymore.

Uhm, everything already is account-name based. You only add one character name of a friend to your friend's list, and all of his characters show up there.

I simply want to change the last name of my warrior so 3 of my main characters would have the same last name. Like being from the same family... And I would like to do this without starting the whole game over...

The tricky bit of name-changing is all the customised stuff out there. Would your armour still work? Customised weapons?
If it's viable, I wouldn't mind a limited name-changing ability (limited so it can't be overused or abused... like the server changing ability is limited).
I don't think it's that important, though. I'm fine with my char names.

I agree with the change name cause if not, half way through the game if u dont like ur name, thats it. Especially for new player that hv a bad name.
However, imo is bad to hv unlimited name change. Maybe limit to 2 or 3 times.

Try it: start a character with whatever name u like. Delete it but keep his/her armor and weapon. Remake the character with the same name (even the same looks if u want to) and try to use ur old character's customized stuff on the new one. Won't work...
And the most simple solution is to let the players change their name ONLY ONCE after their characters turn into a 1-year-old (12 months...). After they turn into a 2-year-old, let them change again but ONLY ONCE. Charging fees is not really necessary.
Scammers would have to wait 1 year to be able to change. (+ I think this can be traced by ur account history: what names u had and when u changed.)
Ppl who are desperate about it, could at least be sure that in a few months or even less they can change. Or if their char is already 1 year old, then they automatically get the option but ONLY ONCE.
Medra
All of my characters in every game I've played up to this point have been assassins. I like RPing the hired killer. When Prophecies came out that proffession wasn't available, so I picked the closest thing, a ranger, then name him 'Medra The Assassin', and put a ton of hours into him.
Then, along comes Factions and now you can make a sin. So now I have an Assassin named 'Medra Deathblade' and a ranger named 'Medra The Assassin'. That doesn't make much sense. I'd like to rename my Ranger with a new last name/title.
Wholeheartedly:

P.S. And I'm sure there are more people out there who have the same problem. And I agree with about a time limit. It's not like you need to change your name that often.

i agree that there needs to be a time limit (either once a year, or few months or something), but all i really need is one name change anyway.

I believe you should not be able to make any change to character ident after it's creation. Just put thought into your names and then live with them.

If you don't like the name, don't use it. BTW, if you complain about you wasting time and effort, how long does it take to realise you don't like a name? I understand if you made a character in profecties called ???? the assassin (or maybe ???? the ritualist, but I doubt that). I think the scamming thing will be worse to fix than having name changes though. If I sounded offensive in any part of this post I apologize as I didn't mean it. Really.

Only if it requires a large sum of money, say, 30k gold to change your name. It should not be considered to be a decision made on a whim... if you want to change your name, make it so that it hits it where it hurts the most on scammers, their wallets.

For those of you who don't like the idea.....don't use it. It would be an OPTION.
If it's possible to incorporate into the game for people to use if they wish then do it. If you don't like it then ignore it.

Perhaps a character at the end of a new realm for Lyssa who fro a gold cost allows the changing of your characters name and/or appearance, pay per change. That way they wouldnt have 500 people changing there name at any given time, and it'd be an awesome gold sink. I mean I remember at one time someone mentioning this may be on option in the online store, but I'd much rather spend in game gold on this.

The GW community is already anonymous enough the way it is...you can SCAM 1000 people off and get out easily and all, being able to "remake yourself" would be just tad stupid cause would make the scam problem even bigger!!!
You would be able to do ANYTHING you wish and get away in 2 seconds.
IF this is ever implemented i hope they make it cost like the same as a fow armor if not more, its a gold sink right?! SO make people who REALY want to change this COMPLETELY useless (and anti-community btw) feature to pay the right ammount for it, OR simply make it an online store option (even better), so you gotta pay like 5US$ per name change or so.
