So before Incursion we couldn't make a name with three words. Now we can.

I don't have any characters that are supposed to have more than three names but say your char name is First Commander'Riker and he obvioulsy created it before incursion. If he were to open a petition and ask for the apostrophe between "Commander" and "Riker", would it be possible (not asking if it would be allowed, only possible) for his request to be accepted?


I mean we all got a chance to update our portraits more than one, so don't know why we didn't got the chance to adapt our names to the new system.

Because it could be used to evade blocks and open up new scam opportunities....

...........on second thought...I support this idea. Anything to generate more rage content on youtube.

Naming your character First Commander'Riker should be a self-inflicted punishment for life! Lol

I don't care for "no" post with no explanation of "why". So don't even bother in bothering with trying to bother me with that.

I'm not mad.

Nor bothered.

Brock Nelson always poos on any idea. So we can ignore him.

Becareful that name you want doesn't get taken by someone else, now that you've told everyone that you wanted it.

As far as I know names only get changed if its offensive to someone.. Maybe get someone else to complain about your really foul name that is an insult in another language. Hopefully they wont check to see if it an insult. Then you get to change it..

There is already a construtive thread about name changing here.

There's plenty of good reasons why people would like a change and there would be no ''evasion'' if properly implemented.

I tried to open a petition one year ago, to change my char name. No Go.

As I said before, I'm ready to pay any amount of Dollar/AUR/ISK to have my name changed.

Also, to avoid scam, CCP shoud create a tab in our ingame info with our previous names or something like that.

On a more serious note:
Character trading. Personally I think it is not a good thing anyway. But at least the character should keep his birth name.
And if that happens to be xXFatfartXx you should not be able to change it to Julio Antonio Coimbra.

You buy a character, you buy his history. And if someone pew-pews you because "you" have done him wrong in the past, you see it is better to skill up your own char.

Same goes for spies.

Yes and this is the reason, i think, why nobody got a free-name-change token. Should be a case-by-case thing. Removing an apostrophe from a three word name is one thing, changing the entire name is another.

It was stated by a GM and a DEV it was a big fat no to name change and I am quite sure they're solid on that stance.

Personally I would be fine with minor "cosmetic" changes - changing letter case, or the mentioned apostrophe to space. As long as the CCP system is able to cope with it, in regard to e.g. links in character bios.

Changing your name to the point when it is not blatantly obvious that it is the same character? No thanks, for the reasons listed above.

Maybe you shouldn't ask such dumb questions which have a clear 'no' answer then.
