It's absolutely become handy if there's a npc to service or just type some command !

I'm more for the option to change a character's hair style and color, but I don't have any problem with allowing players to change their names, either.

Yeah, I've had to delete a couple characters (luckily before I had wasted too much time playing them) before because of moronic names that at the time seemed great.

Someone probably already mentioned this, but what about scammers, stalkers, leeches, or all those nasties on my "ignore" list? If they can change names, we no longer can ignore them or warn each other about them.

Or what about good ppl you want to get/stay in touch with, like former guildies, someone who was in a PUG with you recently that you want to whisper once in a while, someone you traded with that you might want to trade with again...

Sounds like a good idea, if there were rules.

If you haven't noticed, your buddy and ignore lists track players by their account, not their name. This shouldn't be a problem, as your buddy list and ignore list should update with their new name.

To avoid the "/namechange Bob sukzroz kockzorzzzLol" trick, make it you can only change name once. And for those who made a typo with their new name : ou can change back until one hour after you changed. (though that would actually allow the "/namechange Bob sukzroz kockzorzzzLol" trick.

I would love to be able to change names without having to create a new char and lose the nearly 300 hours spent on ONE of my chars.

Also /signed anyway.

It must be a one-time event, however.. I would hate to see it abused.

As for the make-over requests, perhaps everyone could be allowed a one time make-over with GW:EN (additional face, hair, etc.. options included with GW:EN in this "make-over" would be extraordinary for those of us who aren't extremely pleased with the current available skins).

I wouldn't mind, it'd be cool to change my name if I didn't like it

Exterminate all · Apr 25, 2007, 10:11 PM // 22:11

/Unsigned... if you would like to make a new name because you don't like your current name, why did you make the current name. Also, people would confuse you, if your main character name is (Exterminate all - My name) and people remember you by that name, and they take you off friends list by an accident and try and add you and the name is not there, then they would be confused and maybe never talk to you again...Im against this..

Because when I made the name I thought it was funny. And now its not.
Because when I made the name I was in an uncreative mood.
Because when I made the name I was using a base name for all my characters but the base name didnt work for all my ideas and now they seem out of place.

Lots of reasons. If that person was really your friend and they accidentally took you off friends list, then you would be messaging them anyway so they would know what your current name is.

So you want ArenaNet to fix the problem you created as opposed to ArenaNet fixing a bug in the game.

Sorry to point a finger at you but It has to be said that it was your own fault for injecting humor in a screenname, its generally common sense that all jokes get old after awhile. I think the fact that ArenaNet doesn't allow name changing stresses the importance and uniqueness to creating your character name. Depending how many campaigns you have up to 8 slots to get it right. I think thats more than enough.

I've spent days and days contemplating character design and name before I commit to it. The character name is the hardest thing to agree on, I've had a list of names I like and had friends help me narrow down my list. Ultimately it's your decision and you have to learn to live with it.

There are plenty of "fantasy name generator" tools online just google 'em and that should help you. I used them and modified a letter here and there. It takes alot effort to come up with a satisfying character name.
