Welcome to the Future, you can get killed and rebirth as many times a day as you want, why can't you change your name?
i mean i just bought this toon, don't love the name but hey could be worst lol


i mean hell you can be cloned back why can'y you change your name?

plex system to change name would work, but noting to crazy no one will want to pay 4 plexs to change a name

I think it could be like your attributes. Your aloud to change name ONCE per year and you must pay 2 PLEX to do so. Also allow name changes as a part of the character transfers so people can automaticly get a new name when the char transfers to another account. Another point is to mark it on the corp history when the name changes (AND when the char changes accounts) to lessen griefers / past accounts with a bad history.

good idea but dont use plex for name changes. plex are already stupidly expencive atm.
maybe x amount of cash on your account page to change your name.

would be a cool feature, if there is also a way to get your hands onto the name history of a character.

maybe standings, loyalty points and some sort of mission, so people can specialise in digging up the dirty past of a given character.
otherwise its just another easy way for scammer and spies to live without consequences or foresight.

i agree with the spy/scammer thing, maybe you can get black listed by concord for multiplier reports or something similar

any big alliance should check api's and voice on ts3 but besides that don't know what else you could do

Names have consequences.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
