I would definitely like to see the feature added the game, I think it would be really helpful to those people like myself that want to change they're character names due to a poor choice of names or lack of creativity. Even if it meant that the customized stuff like weapons and armor couldn't be used on the new character name it would be better then completely starting over.

My suggestion would be to set it up like the Territory change which we either have a limited number of times we can do it per character or allow like 1 change every 6 or 12 months. On a side note it would also be cool if instead of only a name change we could instead do character edit like the edit we go through when creating your character that way we would beable to change not only the name but the appearences (face, hair.etc).

Worse case, there could be a small fee charged for the name change but it would definitely save alot of time and energy having to recreate a new character just to change the name, not to mention losing alot of the event items like the santa hat or pumpkin head.

Please ANET take this into consideration.

Um, think twice before saying that. U would even lose ur customized armor. Wanna run around naked or something? Also think about the people who found or bought a perfect weapon and customized it. Losing it would be a little bit too much I think.

The territory solution is also a good idea, but changing the looks won't do except for the hairstyle and color. Maybe adding facial hair like mustache, beard, etc... for male characters and make-up options for the female characters would be a good idea. But that's another issue...

/signed for being able to change every 6 months (also be able to check if names are available instead of firing blind)

I would most like to see appearance change implemented - I like most of my character's names, but I want to make my ranger minimum hieght like my other characters - he is my first character and has quite a lot of customized stuff (like armour, rare pet etc)

Ellena · May 22, 2006, 07:16 PM // 19:16

/signed so long as there is a strict limit on the changing process such as 3 ever, every 3 months, etc. ( to prevent scammers and general silliness)

I actually am happy with my character's names ( msotly) and apperances ( also mostly), but it's still a feature that would be good so logn as it's not *too* easy.

apperance changes I think should be unlimited and cost a couple of plat ( IMO cheaper will sink MORE gold not less, ebcause people will do it a *LOT* more)

10k each, something like that

I'm all for changing a character's name in-game.

Good Point... I'm sure those players that obtained expensive weapons or armor like fissure armor would be at a disadvantage since it would force them to give up they're customized items to make the change.

So allowing the new names to change with the customized items would definitely be nice.

This is a good idea, i like this a lot.

I personally would go for once a year as that prevents your friends list and anything else from changing too rapidly.

/signed I agree with this to an extent. The same name rules must apply ex: can't be perverted, imature ok... offensive in general. This should cost a lot of money, yes it is worth like 10k even. I think it is important to keep this from being abused, and hey your time and titles are worth 10k. I also think this should be able to be a part of the cosmetic npc everyone talks about. Let me get a new look along with my new name.

The only problem with 10K is that ppl who scam big time and pull off like 80K+ still profit 70K...

Six months on and close to 400 replies - is anyone at ANet paying attention or is this thread a waste of posters time?
(And please, the whole "scammer" arguement was laid to rest a long time ago - if you don't aggree with renaming characters, try come up with a new reason against it)

yes the thread is a complete waste.

no the scammer disappearing into a new identity has not been laid to rest

if you are to much in a hurry that you pick any name you have 2 choices.
live with it or reroll.

I'd love to change my eight characters to have a more common name to make me as a player more identifiable to friends and guild members.

I still want to change one of my characters' names...

Konstantin · Jun 01, 2006, 02:45 AM // 02:45

Well when I did play GW, my main and only character at the time was banned because of some zionist/arabic regime policy garbage. So I already had the 2nd chance to change the name and I did. Now my name doesnt "offend" anyone but it would be nice if I can change the names of my other characters so they dont get banned for weeks on end like my first character did. If there is anywhere to sign I will sign for it.

BTW - I wonder if I make a character named Adolf Hitler. Will it be blocked or is it already taken? (kidding)
