Only once per character would do it for me. I named my first two toons, not thinking I wold like the game (I know, I was young(er), and stoooopid

) but now I love them...

It's just the names... I wouldn't have chosen them, knowing what I know now, and have started a theme with my other characters, that I would love to use on my first two.

So, ANet? Please? Pretty please? Pretty please with sugar on top and a nice colorfull bow around it?

/soooo forking amd spooning signed!

(Unless someone wants to report me for havign an abussive name?... I think I could actually life with a week-long ban just to change the name...)

In fact, I would support a general ability to re-take your character through customization again (face, size, etc). Why not?

...bump...

Just making sure the thread is right at the front

1 more thing: aNet if u read this, pls could you at least inform us if there's a chance that renaming our characters will ever be added? Because if not then I will have to ask someone to report my name with a good reason 'cause I don't wanna start all over again

Or I might as well check out some dictionaries, maybe I will find something against my own name... LOL

Because this is an RPG. You're not supposed to be able to just completely remake your character when you're halfway through the game. Your character is supposed to be a "real" thing. You can't just change your size, face, hair, etc in real life (well technically you CAN, but that involves plastic surgery and such, and I don't think plastic surgery is offered in the GW world =P).

But, yes, definitely all for a name change. Once per chapter is fine for me...

Maybe make cost something like 10 skill points so that people cant just rename themselves all the time .. or once per character

Haggard · May 19, 2006, 05:16 PM // 17:16

i think 30 skill points would be more reasonable. i make about 7 a day through solo farming, so 10 wouldnt be too huge a deterrant.

Matix411 · May 19, 2006, 07:40 PM // 19:40

Thirty skill points for a name change?
Sorry, but for people who don't solo farm in abundance like many do, I think that's rather harsh and unfair ... skill points in general would be more appropriate than gold though, so I can agree with the initial claim, but I know I couldn't cough up 30 skill points every time I wanted to change my name, I'd much rather pay gold, but not 5k+ like some people have suggested.
It's just a name change ... I don't see what's so wrong about people doing it whenever they feel like it.

If anything, I think characters should be given the option of a name change up until they reach level 20, and once you're level 20, you have to start paying/giving skill points or something, or nothing at all. That way, people can pick and choose their name while they pick and choose 2ndary professions etc. and then once their character is set in motion at level 20 they're either cut off or have to start paying.

I think it would be more of a hassle for PvP and GvG, but if people are only participating in PvE I don't see what the problem in changing their name would be. So perhaps characters created solely for PvP cannot change names?
I dunno.

You (and some of the others) keep forgetting about the abuse... There are "players" (if we can call them that) who would make a benefit of changing their name 3 times (or so) a week. They would surely use it for scamming and to get away with it. I'm not saying that I don't support the idea cuz I've already signed that I do support it, but let's just stick to the good old 1 name change/chapter (per character) system. I think we've all played long enough by now to finally come up with a name that should last long or even forever. In my case I've already made up my mind.

No offense, but somehow I just can't find that funny...

Sorry for this off-topic comment.

This would be a great feature, I've had this same issue come up with others games I've played. Definitely something I would like to see.

You make a good point, and its true the majority of my names I stick with, but it would be fun, for a time.
Didn't think about scamming though, I just thought about mass name change and PvP ladders getting confused or something ... if that could happen? I dunno.

and a possible emote to change your name could be:
/changename insert new name here

I agree, just limit the number of times this can be done, under the change name violation codes

With a name like mine..I would agree to anything even related to name-changing
/signed!

The skill point idea is good, and yes it should cost like 20 skill points since gold is too precious to spend on name changing.Maybe there should be a limit to the number of times you can change your name..2 is a good number.

P.S. My name is Zero Limb Smasher..D'oh!
