They should make a NPC in one of the towns.
Where you pay 5 Rubies to change your character's name and looks.
But it's only done once every 3 to 6 months.

Yeah, same too.. especially if they introduce new face templates with new chapters.

The name change could cause problems with griefers who would change their names to avoid backlash.

Personally, I'd rather be able to change my appearance than name.

Im not big on this idea, but I do however like how people decide to use the old topics rather than make a million new ones.

But I think it should be limited to 2 or 3 times, with a nominal fee attached to deter abuse of the option. It would suck for some smart alec to be goofing around with names just to harrass people (or jsut being a smart-a**) and being stuck with a name he/she just made up to be a pest because he/she used his/her last name change chance. (would serve them right, but it would still suck for them!)

Native American cultures marked a person's growth from childhood to adulthood through rites of passage. This included _one_ name change to separate the childish life from the responsible, accountable, new person that was welcomed back into the tribe. Then they could look back and say,"So-and-so would do this, or act like that, because I was a child back then. I, mature-so-and-so, know better than to do that now."

I'm not saying players have actually matured through the course of playing this game, I've seen quite the contrary, but GW already has so many cultural elements, this couldn't hurt. Anyway, scammers/stalkers/b.s.talkers do get second accounts to hassle people with.

I would like the ability to change character names as well. I agree that some sort of limit would be good as well.

glove1038 · Feb 03, 2006, 04:12 AM // 04:12

this would be a great idea, i want to change the name of my char's!!!

eSe · Feb 03, 2006, 04:22 AM // 04:22

changing names would be nice but i would like to change appearence too

Sykotic · Feb 03, 2006, 04:31 AM // 04:31

At least have it as a money sink so people aren't changing names like crazy. Or maybe limit the amount of changes allowed per char?
3-5 platinum or something should do the trick- it would be rather silly allowing people to change their names on the fly for nothing- for starters, "unique" names out there wouldn't be unique for long as people would just change to a slight variation as soon as they see someone with a "cool name".

Actually, that might be reason enough not to have it at all...putting aside the fact the various scamming avenues it could open up (what would happen to ignore lists, would we know who XX Slayer Xx2 *was* before he changed his name?)

This is a monster thread and I am reviving it. Even though I spent well over ten minutes making my first character I deleted him when I learned more about the armor in this game. So I remade another ranger that would be more fitting for marhans grotto armor. In game recustomization ftw.

I think you should be able to swap inventory among your characters without logging off.

in a game where you see your twins all the time. the name is a big part that sets you unique from other players.

Actually I would like to be able to change all of the basics form hair color to style to sex to skin. What girl can resist changing her hair once in a while. And I have a perfectly good assended finished ranger that I wish I had started as a girl. After 6 characters I find I relate to the female ones better than the male so why no be able to change him.

but make the namechange cost something like gold or skill points or faction...people will for sure abuse it if it is free

Eadric · Feb 06, 2006, 10:04 PM // 22:04

/signed. One name change, 2 at most.
