I honestly thought it had something to do with iron maiden jokes.

I think CCP would make some good money off a name/sex change for PLEX deal

If nothing else then for bought & sold characters

I've seen threads where CCP commented that they would do this, but were afraid of someone's past deeds being erasable. I think if they just had a tab called "AKA" where you could see their previous identities with a picture etc, this could be doable. Plus they would make a metric crapton of money off it. The biggest need for this is when you buy a character. They're stupid if they don't implement this in some form in the near future.

I am pretty happy with mine, although I do get occasionally asked if I named after a tree. Roll

Reporting in for main name unhappiness.

The question is, if I changed it now would i feel the same way about the new name 6 years later?

I like all my characters names..but then again I didnt hit the character creator while i was being drunk and impulsive and absoutely needed to use that ******* 1337 speech to spell stuff out.

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

Mine was a gag name kindof like a "whose on first, what's on second" thing. Got old after about 2 years and now I wish I had the option of changing it.

There's a sect of CCP that feels like "your name is your bond!!!!, duh, duh, duhhhhh!!!", but somehow completely miss the fact that characters are sold off completely (none of my previous Eve contacts are even owned by their original owner) which makes that a mute argument in and of itself, not to mention the entire concept of alts and multiple accounts.

CCP should have implemented a name change (for fee) option a long time ago. If they want "name consequences" or whatever, just add an "Alias" history to the character information sheet. The bottom line is that players will probably pay quite a bit for a name change and CCP profits take a boost, which is the bottom line.

Assuming my character's first name was a result of me rolling my head on my keyboard... hmm

Posting in a stealth 'Name Changes' thread.

If you hate your name so much why did you choose it? Or is it because you bought the character?

Name Changes are not 'Eve'


Not a stealth thread at all. Just another community thread like the "What the avatar above you is thinking." Didn't think people would get so up in arms over this. I chose it because when I made my character I was in 8th grade and one of my friends used to say it a lot. I'm now graduated and work with a bunch of fellow EvE players and it's kind of embarrassing to tell them what my name is.

They pick out really good names though. I envy them and their creativity.
