Unhappy with your character name, but don't want to lose your time and energy?

/signed

I'd alos like to see us be able to change the look of our characters as well.

the name has a track record of behavior on it.

how would you like the same person on your ignore list under 5 different names?

how would you like that scammer that got you last week get you again under another name?

how would you like to know who on your friends list is this stranger?

it has already been stated that for tracking and security purposes casual (for gold etc) name changing will probably not happen

i really hope they add some type of merchant that allows us to change our physical appearance tho

It'd be pretty fun to hide for awhile. ;l

You should be able to change your name ONCE. That's it.

I would definitely like to be able to change a couple of my character's names, for several different reasons. Even better would be changing appearance (hair, hair color, skin color, face, height, and possibly gender). One reason for the latter is that I would like to try out the new hair and faces on my current chars when I get a copy of Factions.

I honestly see no problem with appearance change, and I think these or similar conditions would address most issues with name change:
- Name changes should be limited to once every 60 days. This would prevent excessive renaming, and reduce any usefulness to scammers.
- And/or a cost should be assessed for each change. 1-2k for the first, scaling up by the same amount for each change.
- And/or the change should be the reward for a time-comsuming repeatable quest ingame. There is no real need for renaming in PvP, since these characters don't represent a large investment of time.

If all of these conditions were added together, a person wanting to change character names would need to complete a 2 or 3 hour quest, pay Xk at the conclusion, and would be limited to one change per 60 days. That would eliminate casual renaming while making it possible for those who really wanted it.

And again, I think appearance changes should be possible, either with or without restrictions.

Definately agree!! I've been wanting to change my character name for a while now but the functionality isn't there...

At first I thought this was a good Idea, but have come to decide no you should not be able to change your name. Any thing else would be fine hair,sex,color, and facial features. But your name is how we relate to you. Now, having been scammed the other night by a fellow player, I know never to deal with him again. But if he could change his name he could trick people again and again and they would have no way of knowing it was the same person if he had changed his name. Unfortunately you live and die by your reputation.

oh shut up, i've had this Fist of Enders name forever and i dont want to delete a char with 1 mil exp, 15k black/oj dyed armor, and a fissure shredder helm just so i can have a name that fits me, NOT the Guild i used to GvG in(heart of enders, shadow of enders ect... yeah we weren't that cool)

and limited to 2 changes per character only. that way you can change it, and if you decide you hate it even more, change it back. or something like that.
however, they would definetly have to keep it like it is now with f-lists/guild roster (the name you added them on is the name that shows up) otherwise you'll just be confused as to whom you're talking about.

sounds usefull....u could be someone different everyday

there should be a limit or a quest for doing this.. you should be able to change your name like 2 times (one quite early if you missspelled you name lol and one later on to be able to change it if you think your name sux

the one way to make sure you can change your name.. if you tell a friend a guildie to say your name is offensive.. a bit of suspension but you get a name change.. bewarre suspension times add up and longer suspension the more you are reported.

I think the same! BTW I'm happy with my name! And you should be happy with yours!

I dont like the names anymore of two of my chars! So yeah i'm game for this. Of course, there should be a limit to the name changes allowed per account to avoid abuse.

this is a MUST...ive actually deleted many of my roleplaying chars because i didnt like the name

i agree, i would like to see this very much. but also as mentioned it should be for a fee .. like the 2K it takes to change a guild cape... or it will be abused. weve got enough silly names in the game already, dont let it be abused. and i might further suggest that it be allowed only a few times or maybe only one per month

this is a MUST NOT under any circumstances

why make it easier for scammers?

/not signed

I do agree with the fact that scammers could abuse this feature for there advantage, but wouldn't a.net b able to still get ur original name. for exp: i had my friends name under friends list, then he deleted the character and changed name to a completly different name, yet i was able to still c if he was on or off, pm him.. etc, I am not truly sure if this has to do with the matter but still..

Plus

/signed , i hate my monks name and i have 1 mil exp and was bout to delete cuz of name.. lol

srry for bad grammar its late

Edit: Also The Idea To Have A Fee Is Good So It Discourages Ppl.. But Not To High..

I don't like my Warrior's and Necro's names, they seem bland. I was on a rush to make their names, so it was mostly my fault. I should have taken a lot more time before I created them and will be careful in the future. I hope the name changes will be implemented in Factions and there should be fee (like 2k per change) to changing your characters' names.
