I've never understood this.
why not allow name changes but add a section to employment history tab that shows previous alias. Problem solved.
You should'nt be able to escape your passed but if you don't like your characters name then that should be fine to change.


This would pretty much cover it. I really don't see why name changes seem to be such a controversial topic.

Names have consequences.




This is "ridiculous"!

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

I said this in the other thread about this (op that's why they wanted you to search, there are other threads that are still active on this topic, next time bump one of them) They don't want you to because if you kept switching your name you could avoid crime. TBH, if they setup a way to search, and keep track of name changes, i.e. if I changed my name to billy bob but someone searched DaReaper it would be flagged as an alias so if you click the alias it brings you to me. That way if I decided to sell my name, then I would be *DaReaper and the new guy would be DaReaper, it might be a good idea.

But I don't think they will do it. It would be a way to net more money though

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

Character names will not be changed, unless under very specific circumstances.

As the EVE Online Naming Policy states under the header 3. VIOLATIONS section a. :

Only character names that are deemed as inappropriate are eligible for a possible name change. Names will not be changed for any other reason.

Thread locked as there is noting more to add.
