Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hi o7

I'm sure i'm not the only one coming up with this idea.
Please erase if it's redundant.

My "idea" :
-Make a Pilot's Service just like [Multiple Pilot Training Certificate] or [Pilot's Body Resculpt Certificate] to let player change the name of a character. [Name Change Certificate]
- Make a [Name History] just like the [Employment History].
- Make an option while searching a character name in [People & Places] to display result by actual name or concidering name history.
- Character will still appear on watchlist even after a name change (make labels !).
[edit] :
- Make it usable only once every 6 months or 3 or 1 year, whatever, to avoid abusive use of that (unless CCP wants moar money :p)

Advantages :
- More money to CCP !
- No character disapearing from contact.
- Can still find someone with name 'A' if he change to 'B'.

When Eve has 'Toons', I'll think about it and let you know my stance.

I like this idea. The idea of being able to change CHARACTER (no "toons" in EvE, please, have mercy and edit your title / OP...it hurts) names has, however, been discussed a lot since the beginning of EvE. CCP doesn't want to do that

Don't count on it, and I would not expect it.
The whole clone loss thing was essentially a worthless situation since it never really had any impact on game play.
Jump fatigue and the nul sec revamp were required because those aspects of the game were poison to the game as a whole.
Poor choice of character name on the other hand really only affects the player that started the character but not the game as a whole.

Even worse. It had a lot of impact by discouraging high-skillpoint players from participating in pvp. I remember when losing a rifter and pod would cost me a few mil for the rifter and mods plus 20 mil for a clone, and older players had it a lot worse. It really needed to go for the health of the game. Of course in bigger more expensive ships it was a less extreme percentage of the loss, but it still sucked.

It also had an impact when somebody screwed up and forgot to update their clone and then died, lol. A friend of mine lost his Caldari BS V right after getting his Golem. That had to suck major ass.

Personally, I'm glad those days are over.

Thanks a lot for noticing it. :)

Why would you need to change your original name? Your name is your reputation. That's about it, why should it be so critical to change e.g. John vs J0hn ? You've been playing with "John Wick"and now wanna be "datbigscarryboat".

Hey i remember there was a guy a trusted 3rd party "darknesss" or either "darkne$$$".

As long as everything going around a character is not affected by a name change, that means, reputation -5 -10, notes you put on his character, labels you put on him in your whatchlist, if you chose to see him logging off and logging out, once you figure out that John became Peter, it's done.

I really cannot see the issue, that's just pure ''conservativ" spirit.

The issue is - why the hell should i look through the name history of every character just to make sure i had a righ sticker on that individual?

Hey Man soz, i was Johnny now call me Peter plz. Why ? cause i want CCP earn more money.

Why the hell would you look at a character bio ? Employment History ? Why the hell would you put any reputation at all to an individual ? Why would you care at all about what he did in the pass ?
