Scrolling through the Character Bazaar, and noticing a fair amount of names I would be embarrassed to have, I just thought...wouldn't it be great if CCP let us change toon names for 1 Plex? That'd be nice. We should get that.

1 Plex = Character Name Change.

if u had searched the topic before posting u'd know that its come up before, and recently. u can also see the arguments against this idea.

EVE FAQ "7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY? No; there are no systems or locations in New Eden where PvP may be completely avoided"

CCP has flat out stated that this will never happen. Ever. So arguing it either way is meaningless.

OK for the second time today I'll leave this quote from Batelle in a thread as he summed the case against this up far better than I could when he posted in a similar thread.

absolutely not. This is pretty much equivalent to being able to pay CCP to make your character untraceable, which would be pretty horrible. Being able to trace toons across multiple owners is of critical importance to many people.

Make a new char and skill him or buy only chars with a name you like.

The name of players is one of the things in EVE that shouldn´t change.

simple idea: nobody buys the characters with stupid names = people stop creating character with stupid names

This idea gets posted multiple times for week, for years.

Its a really bad idea.

It will never ever ever happen.

No.

As I pay a sub, more than one in fact I have as much right to comment as anyone else. You don't like it that is your problem not mine.

Its not a stupid idea, and the OP isn't stupid for suggesting it either. Its just a (really) bad idea for reasons that may not be obvious to some. Now, other posters have turned the rejection of this idea into 5+ page threads denying basic common sense and suggesting insane things to make ti "work." That's when the OP would potentially go from "suggesting a bad idea" to "stupid."

Minds change all the time and CCP can't afford to be closed minded.

Name changes are a fundemental feature for any sucessful MMO.

This is censorship at its worst.



This forum doesn't advocate for freedom of speech. It's a dictatorship run by a company. They try to make the experience pleasent but lets not pretend that this is something it's not.

Here we're just censoring laziness. Too lazy to hit the search function? lock. At least the guy got an answer.

you are obviously biased.. the feature wouldn't make toons untraceable.. her argument was clearly invalid.
