It would be nice receive a one time name change in game for all those people that would like to be able to change their name to better suit them self. I don't want to change mine, but some do.

I would only accept this if they where going from a trail account to full.

I agree, that would work. Even tho it would be nice to see all those names that you can't say or under stand to be changed

Lots of useful names on old trial characters lost for ever - it would be nice if at least the expired trial accounts could be reset and the names released.

Regular character name changes......maybe for a PLEX if any previous names remained owned by the account and all are permanently linked to the same character - perhaps with a name history tab?

I think it would be nice to just have one chance to change your name once. I don't want it to you can change your name again when you decide to. Just one time change is all i want.

Has to be a no from me. This would be open to a lot of abuse, meta gaming, etc.

I mean the name change at trail flip over is very reasonable the character hasnt had time to really establish thier identity.

I also concure that trail acounts need to truely expire and delete maybe they can add thier inventories to the trash piles as well.

i'd like some form of a single name change, since i've been playing long before the ability to have three names. i'd love to go by Arklan Uth Oslin if i could...

I also think that names should not be locked up. We should be a way to have many of the same names, because we have a number with our name, so as long the number cant be used more then once, then the names should not matter. its like our SSN.

No.

It would be nice if people had to live with the fact that they were idiots or accept the consequences. That being remaking the character with a proper name.

There's no free ride in this game, pal. You do something stupid, you pay the price.

Features and Ideas forum is that way ------>

You could have a "Formerly known as " then make the old name searchable and have the same standing and so forth, so that you can not use this name change to hide.

... but I like the idea of teenagers growing up to regret the stupid names they chose. Blink

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.
