I'm genuinely curious - How did you get two characters to level 20 without noticing the names you'd given them..? What changed your mind about the names - I'd assume you liked them when you started?

/not signed again.

#1 - Some people use their Guild name in their names, then when the guild dies, they have a name with a dead guild.
#2 - Some times people (me) cant think of a name, and make charecters at 2 o'clock in the morning with funny names. The name seems fine for a while, until the novelty wears off, then you wish you could get 15K a peice back from your 15k a peice armor and un-customize your weapons.
#3 - Once you are to level 20, you dont want to delete and remake a char because of the name. Each char is an investment you dont want to just write off.

Each well-equiped char can have 100k in skills, 100k in armor, 100k in weapons, hundreds of hours, etc. It is easier to rename them than loose all that. Why are you such a skeptic?

I think it should cost more per additional name change; 1K, 2K, 4K, 8K 16, ...

/signed - I know there will be people who abuse this, and I will put my faith in the devs to think of a way to prevent abuse. I think the ability to change hair style should be considered. Hair grows naturally and I think a small fee for a haircut would be a nice addition.

I'm actually waiting for them to implement this... My favored character is awaiting a name change. I just hope they add it sometime soon..

6am3 Fana71c · Sep 03, 2007, 02:36 AM // 02:36

To all you people saying /signed, /signed, /signed....
ANY OFFICIAL WORD ON THIS?
Do we know anything certain about will they add this or no...?

FeroxC · Sep 08, 2007, 01:12 AM // 01:12

/signed, Ive gone off my characters name.

But hes over 2 years old and has just had over 700k invested in gear so theirs no way im deleting him.

Government Flu · Sep 08, 2007, 02:45 AM // 02:45

I deleted my primary character which used my original name and then created another one with the same name but have not used him since. Despite my new primary character using a different name I would never consider changing it.

Personally, I wouldn't want to see this option implemented on the basis that a lot of immature people would do nothing but change their names all the time just to piss people off. I can just see it now...someone constantly switching their names around trying to be cute during a mission in a PUG instead of actually playing.

I think instead of asking for an option to change a character name, people should just think carefully about the name since investing in a character is a major commitment and should not be taken lightly.

What's next, the ability to change your primary profession because you don't like it anymore? No thank you.

Mangione · Sep 08, 2007, 09:03 AM // 09:03

/notsigned at all.

Have you got 14/16 years old kids among your MSN contact list? They keep changing their name every single day.

I don't like this feature.
I recognize people by their character name. I know many immature players and I won't play with them. Nothing bad with being under 16, but many of them just act as spoiled children... It's their age, but I can't bear that, so once I know them I keep clear and don't do quests and missions with them.
I know some that are plain boring (they see a girl playing and they stick as if they are talking to the last woman on earth... WTF!).
I know some scammers and some abusers by their char names, and I stay away from them.
I haven't them in contact list because they are too many to fit it (and I keep friends there)

Such feature would allow them to make a new "identity" without much effort.

The character name is a thing that should be choosen carefully, because it becames YOUR ingame name.
Is YOU that will be called by that name. So calling your character "Dumbo Dumber" you are making people call YOU "Dumbo".
Think twice before naming a character "[Insert Stupid Name Here]", believing that it is funny. It isn't. And then you ask for a change.

That pretty much sums it all.

For my new character I spent half an hour thinking (and searching for) a good char name, knowing that it will stick to her forever.

On the other side, if it is really needed, it should be made a 1 time option. So you are given a second chance, if you mess even that one, then you are done, won't be allowed to change never again.

-For people thinking before making a character name.
-For keeping the option to use the same character names in GW2.

i agree you shouldn't be allowed to change your name all the time , but if you can change your name once it would be so much better . some people may not have a brilliant name , but don't want to start again after working on titles and putting in so much time to their characters .

and those who have an inappropriate name can change their name , what about those people who have appropriate names , just don't like their names .

Lyllrik · Sep 11, 2007, 05:25 PM // 17:25

But dont make it "change your name anytime" . Maybe max 2-3 times? Or pay gold for it?

Tamuril elansar · Sep 11, 2007, 07:01 PM // 19:01

/not signed, mangione already said what i was about to say

Torino Cowell · Oct 10, 2007, 04:49 PM // 16:49

pay gold for this .. 10k at an NPC called something like a "identity agent"

question is this was said a long time ago , is there any chance of this happening anymore?

thezed · Oct 10, 2007, 05:08 PM // 17:08

What is with all the Thread-Necro going on the past few days?

At least this one was only 2 months dead and not 2 years.

Ragnorak · Oct 10, 2007, 06:27 PM // 18:27

Thread Necromancy is win.

On topic: /sign. To all those that are telling people to have chosen a name they liked in the first place, I don't think thats the problem with many people. At the time I created my Warrior the name seemed like a good idea, but now (2 years later and after a lot of hard work) I've grown out of my name. This could be for numerous reasons but you need to consider that people change over time, they develop new interests, and get bored of old ones.

I've already deleted 1 of my characters because I disliked the name, and already grinded until I had remade that character with a new name. I really don't want to do it again, and I really don't think I should have to.

Rexion · Oct 10, 2007, 08:45 PM // 20:45

yeah, i really wanna change my name...
Heal N Fifty Fiver... i don't 55 anymore, got boring and wasted too much time

Torino Cowell · Oct 17, 2007, 08:34 PM // 20:34

any news from anet on this yet or haven't they said anything

just make it once per month & it'll be fine

wu is me · Oct 17, 2007, 09:42 PM // 21:42

yea.. i think we've all had those situations where we just wanted to get the game started on a particular character/ were drunk/high etc and made characters with completely ridiculous names that "seemed good at the time" until.. a name you find more suitable slivers into mind.

A disincentive would be essential tho, but the having to delete your character just to change a name is just too much.
IMO think once a month is a bit much without some other disincentives too, cos otherwise ur gonna get a Flavour of the Month thing going lol...

edit: GOO Teh necro threads lol.. damn this 1 is old xD
