Well what if you buy a character for its abilities but it's name it's horrible...
That's why..
You're a different owner..
So that characters past is irrelevant the second it changes hands..
If not I'll buy Chiribbas character and everyone can start giving me billions of isk because you all trust that name right???
Because it's got nothing to do with the owner.. lol

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'.

Use the search funktion, and still NO !

Thanks for your participation to the thread.
Your argument is valuable and will be concidered.

- Your name don't reflect anymore what you are InGame.
- You made a mistake at creation cause you thought you won't love the game.
- You want to RP with another player and marry ? :D
- You bought a character and want to rename it.
- Whatever else reasons.

And even if it's because you scam people, or want to spy, i think that's really inrteresting to imagine what would come up with such a new "feature".
Like a "namehunter" or an "anti-spy" new profession, i do'nt know.

We could even imagine players developping some tier program to check one's past names etcetera.

lol what? name doesn't reflect what you've been doing in game? i like it ;) 5 yrs of active pvp under the "bone crusher" & and then decided to be an industrial toon "rock eater", right?

if you were drunk or damn high while creating your character and made a shamfull mistake in the name that's your problem which you could fix by deleting "wrongly' named character and making new one.

if you are serious enough and want to marry and mecame Mr and Mrs feel free to submit a ticket with your lovely story and let's DEV's fix that for you

why have you bought a character with "wrong" name ?

I agree .. if you have created the character and jacked up its name that's your own fault...
BUT
The main reason for a name change is mainly if the character is sold / traded...
You normally buy a character for its skills/abilities... not its name ..
that's why you end up buying a character with a jacked up name..

A character is just a tool..
Once a character changes hands that characters history is irrelevant... (it has a new owner)
((( You can not hold the new owner responsible for the old owners actions...)))

like i said before.. do you think if i buy Chribbas character people should automatically trust me and send me billions if isk???
Hell no!!! ( the reason a name change should be mandatory when characters are traded)
there should be a character transfer log and name change log..

if that character is in someones contact list, it should change accordingly and a notification sent ...

Mandatory change is actually a pretty smart idea (and at least would cost someone two plex to change the name to try cover their tracks) - renaming in remote contact lists is already happening Smile

But overall, I'm not in favor for name changes.

Not if there are logs..
Transfer and name change logs...
the corp history will always be there too...

So i don't see the problem

I thought about a notification to anyone who had "John" in his contact list when he change to "Peter", but i thought it was "easying" the awareness all players should have in Eve Online when it comes to "Diplomacy" (contact/standings/etc).
But, yeah, that's a good idea.

As mentionned in my first message, Name history list, just like Emplyment history list, should prevent that, more if you had a notification to the player who put that character changing name in their contact.
