As Gaile already said, they woukd have to take a fee for the change, and as GW1 currently works, the character would NOT be able to use any customized items anymore.
That can't be changed.
Are you sure you want the thing even with that figures?

*support the idea*
Possibly a repeatable quest for earning the ability might be nice too. Somethat allows the change whenever but requires 15 mins of your time to keep it from being a different name every day for some folks. Not opting for super difficult quest or a certain limitation on number of times here would be a great game feature..... can't understand why it hasn't already been an option for players, along with changing your hair color, face, sex, etc.
Great idea for a thread! Hopefully its not falling on deaf ears with all the hyping about GW2. I know many don't plan to leave even though they'll buy GW2 as well.
Sounds like b.s. to me from the same Gayle that doesn't know Polar Bear mini's exist and then confirms them only several hours before they are unattainable for another year.

The above poster needs to be a little bit more mature. And leave Gaile alone!!!! (crawls under a blanket)She may not always be right, but she's much better than other people in her position for other games. In any event, the fact that Gaile did not know about the mini polar bear doesn't discredit her here either. You, sir(above poster) need to know what your talking about.
On another note. I don't like this idea. It's a loophole for all sorts of trouble.

I like all my names, only way i would want to change is if the original name that i based mine on was available. Which they never will be since (although they havnt played in over 2 years) its still taken by an inactive account... annoying.

I have always understood that the name could not be changed because of the addressing and security structure. But that may at this point (about 2 years later) be a half-misremembered thread. I think this option would be very good (as well as the idea of a hair stylist as 1k per change - talk about a gold sink, lol)
But seriously - I would support being able to change a characters name at the log in screen section. I think an additional button right along side of create button would be appropriate. An Edit Character feature that would allow you to change the name and possibly the hair (to any hair available in GW that the account has open that belongs to that gender and class).

Are you suggesting you understand the economics and business issues off running GWs better then a member of the Anet staff, or that you have better resources at hand to find that information out?
If you are, you need to grow up and just accept it if Gaile says it cant be done without charging a fee. Just because Anet says something cant be done without a charge and you dont like the sounds of it, is no reason to start slagging off one of their staff for being the messenger of bad news.
And big deal if she doesnt know exactly everything about the game!
Does Gaile actually do any coding, designing or testing or does she just handle PR? If she doesnt code, design or test then her only contact with actual ingame stuff is when she is either playing in her spare time or doing PR ingame and talking to customers to answer question.
And I expect alot of those questions get passed to other staff! I know I do that when I was working in IT support. Do you know everything about your job? or do you only know the bits concerning your department and the things you come in contact with?
I expect she only knows the stuff shes either taking a hand in creating or has experienced while playing, and while she may play A LOT, I expect she plays more then just GWs or has other projects on the go aswell. Thats alot of games to know stuff about. Ive played for a long time and I havent seen everything or done everything. Mainly because some aspects dont interest me!
Dont shoot the messenger just because they wont do what you ask and if you to say im kissing a*s then go ahead!

I mean, I did screw up with the last names of two of my characters, because they don't match the rest of my guildwars character "family" but it doesn't matter to me either way
people shouldn't make chars (or play for that matter) when they're intoxicated or feeling like pulling a gag.

She says that MAYBE in GW2 they will offer this feature.
And that will cost money. Real life money, not ingame money.

I would love to change a couple of names on my characters. I only need it to happen once on a couple of characters. Just make it cost money. Like 5k/name change. Or even 10k that will keep people from abusing it.

Learn to take character creation more seriously before you play. If you use a silly name then why bother building that character up? I can understand just wanting to sample a primary profession if you just wanna see if you might be willing to continue with it. Soon as you know you like the profession, then delete the silly character and start over with a name you've given serious thought about.
I think Guild Wars needs to have bigger warning sign in the character creation menus to notify people to more more thought in their characters primary profession, hairstyle, skin tone, facial features and most importantly character name. A big red sign asking "ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE _____ YOU WANT? THERE IS NO GOING BACK!!!!!"

I have to admit it would be nice to be able to go and chance the character skin to a different campaign skin BUT obviously its not that big a deal. Its just a would be nice to have. but considering the current state of the game I somehow doubt that will happen.

Well, this is being hashed out yet again. I'm suprised you didn't get refered to all the other posts in the past that asked this.
I don't have any problems with being able to change things about how you look i.e. sex, hair, colors, height whatever.
But your name is how others recognise you. So if you are a good guy and respectiful player no problem. But consider if you are a scammer and take advantage of players if you could change your name how would any one recognise you. If a ranger named XXXXXXXX cheated me than changed his name how would I know if he tried to trade with me again.

A 2 year old necro'ed thread that hasn't been locked down?? SHOCK!
I can agree that I would like a hair changer, but the rest I can't personally agree with. I chose my char's carefully for the long haul. I wanted to make sure that I would be happy with how my char's look for as long as I play them. I like the idea of a hair changer for it seems more natural change for the GW setting, plus how many of us keep our hair the same way for years on end without trying something new or hair just simply growing longer in length or disappearing altogether.
However, isn't this thread beating a very dead, pulverized, and hashed horse?
