Sounds pointless to me. If you don't like your name why did you pick it in the first place? Makes it too easy to scam people and be generally irritating.
I'm genuinely curious - How did you get two characters to level 20 without noticing the names you'd given them..? What changed your mind about the names - I'd assume you liked them when you started?

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

I think this will increase scamming if they can simply rename themselves at will, instead of having to restart a character for a new name.

a name change feature would be great, my gf used to have a character on my account but due to a nasty piece of work who joined our guild she has decided not to play gw anymore. the problem i have is i want to use the character but everyone thinks im my gf when i do and i dont want to delete and start again due to the 15k armour and superior absorb and vigor runes (not to mention the unlocked elites) so a name (and possible appearance) change would be spot on in my opinion

good things can come in consequences.. the only sure way your name CAN be changed.. if its deemed OFFENSIVE.. you get suspended for a limited time of hours.. and you are able to change your charcters name after the suspension.

Id agree to one name change allowed per character one and only one. After you have changed it the one time either live with it or start over. Its not something Id like to see the devs dedicate effort towards tho, many more important things to tend too.

Yeah, great. Make people able to change their names. I'd get whispers from names I remember, but how on earth should I know if it isn't someone else trying to scam me? And how am I supposed to know what my fellow guildies are doing with their names, it'll all be a mess. More fun for the scammers, more confusion for the players.

Renaming, although you can do it in real life. Shouldn't be done in GuildWars, unless its for a very high price and verification for the new name takes 3-7 days. This is how I feel about changing faces or height too, plastic surgeons (Bad idea). Now hair dye or hair cuts, thats a good idea.
Ilythia
A one time only name change is a good idea. That way people who regret the name they picked can do so and at the same time it will prevent scammers from changing their names just to scam. If they have the same name then changes in appearance won't matter since you can't copy another persons name.
antialias02
One name change would be alright. Any more than that is simply ANet's way of putting a big *STAMP* of Approval on scammers.

/unsigned You know what this is going to lead to? We won't be able to keep track of bad players (I have a list) or people who talk dirty or mouth off, etc. etc. If you let these people change their names on a whim like this it's just going to cause more chaos. Blacklisting a player is a very strong punishment for things they do wrong or bad in a game, giving the the opportunity to hide behind another name is a bad idea and just gives these griefers more open doors to continue to do so.

If you get scammed its your own fault. I was scammed before, but it was because of my own stupidity. I learned a lesson and have never been scammed again. There is no need for keeping names of players. Most of the people I meet in game I never or rarely see again anyway, except for my guildies.

Ummm I don't want bad players and such in my friends list. And my ignore list is already full. If anything instead of giving people free will to change their names they should add 1000 more slots to the /ignore list.

Perhaps on friends list their name should remain as the name that u added them as. Same for ignore.

There should be a limit on how many times you could change the name for one character but otherwise...

They should make a NPC in one of the towns.
Where you pay 5 Rubies to change your character's name and looks.
But it's only done once every 3 to 6 months.

The name change could cause problems with griefers who would change their names to avoid backlash.
Personally, I'd rather be able to change my appearance than name.

But I think it should be limited to 2 or 3 times, with a nominal fee attached to deter abuse of the option. It would suck for some smart alec to be goofing around with names just to harrass people (or jsut being a smart-a**) and being stuck with a name he/she just made up to be a pest because he/she used his/her last name change chance. (would serve them right, but it would still suck for them!)

Native American cultures marked a person's growth from childhood to adulthood through rites of passage. This included _one_ name change to separate the childish life from the responsible, accountable, new person that was welcomed back into the tribe. Then they could look back and say,"So-and-so would do this, or act like that, because I was a child back then. I, mature-so-and-so, know better than to do that now."
I'm not saying players have actually matured through the course of playing this game, I've seen quite the contrary, but GW already has so many cultural elements, this couldn't hurt. Anyway, scammers/stalkers/b.s.talkers do get second accounts to hassle people with.

I would like the ability to change character names as well. I agree that some sort of limit would be good as well.

Sykotic
At least have it as a money sink so people aren't changing names like crazy. Or maybe limit the amount of changes allowed per char?
3-5 platinum or something should do the trick- it would be rather silly allowing people to change their names on the fly for nothing- for starters, "unique" names out there wouldn't be unique for long as people would just change to a slight variation as soon as they see someone with a "cool name".
Actually, that might be reason enough not to have it at all...putting aside the fact the various scamming avenues it could open up (what would happen to ignore lists, would we know who XX Slayer Xx2 *was* before he changed his name?)

This is a monster thread and I am reviving it. Even though I spent well over ten minutes making my first character I deleted him when I learned more about the armor in this game. So I remade another ranger that would be more fitting for marhans grotto armor. In game recustomization ftw.
I think you should be able to swap inventory among your characters without logging off.

Actually I would like to be able to change all of the basics form hair color to style to sex to skin. What girl can resist changing her hair once in a while. And I have a perfectly good assended finished ranger that I wish I had started as a girl. After 6 characters I find I relate to the female ones better than the male so why no be able to change him.
