this should be good

MithranArkanere · Jan 04, 2008, 02:28 AM // 02:28

As Gaile already said, they woukd have to take a fee for the change, and as GW1 currently works, the character would NOT be able to use any customized items anymore.

That can't be changed.

Are you sure you want the thing even with that figures?

shmek · Jan 04, 2008, 07:40 AM // 07:40

*support the idea*

Possibly a repeatable quest for earning the ability might be nice too. Somethat allows the change whenever but requires 15 mins of your time to keep it from being a different name every day for some folks. Not opting for super difficult quest or a certain limitation on number of times here would be a great game feature..... can't understand why it hasn't already been an option for players, along with changing your hair color, face, sex, etc.

Great idea for a thread! Hopefully its not falling on deaf ears with all the hyping about GW2. I know many don't plan to leave even though they'll buy GW2 as well.

Sounds like b.s. to me from the same Gayle that doesn't know Polar Bear mini's exist and then confirms them only several hours before they are unattainable for another year.

The above poster needs to be a little bit more mature. And leave Gaile alone!!!! (crawls under a blanket)She may not always be right, but she's much better than other people in her position for other games. In any event, the fact that Gaile did not know about the mini polar bear doesn't discredit her here either. You, sir(above poster) need to know what your talking about.

On another note. I don't like this idea. It's a loophole for all sorts of trouble.

im am so up for this

if i cld change my PvE wars name i cld take him to pvp

although to counter the scammers, if someone is reported for scamming and its proved (screenshots etc) then put a permanent title which cant be removed with "Scammer" as it. (just an idea)

/sign again

EDIT:

oh yea, do it like the tournament guys do

"you can only name your account ever 30 days" you cld run it like that

I actually stopped working on my monk even though he has kobd (1) title because I don't care for his name.

Sheena Inverse · Jan 04, 2008, 05:33 PM // 17:33

I like all my names, only way i would want to change is if the original name that i based mine on was available. Which they never will be since (although they havnt played in over 2 years) its still taken by an inactive account... annoying.

I would rather have a hairdresser to be honest.

would be a nice idea indeed

even though changing appereance sometimes would be nice
i got sick of my warrior and made a new one lol
100k down the drain
and i spent over 150k on my new one

I pwnd U · Jan 04, 2008, 05:42 PM // 17:42

Actually it was started around 2 years ago... late 2005 was the start year... now 2008... ya you do the math.

Anyways

I like all my characters named as all of them except my monk have a name with Scorpio in it. But I wouldn't mind switching 2 of the names around.

I have always understood that the name could not be changed because of the addressing and security structure. But that may at this point (about 2 years later) be a half-misremembered thread. I think this option would be very good (as well as the idea of a hair stylist as 1k per change - talk about a gold sink, lol)

But seriously - I would support being able to change a characters name at the log in screen section. I think an additional button right along side of create button would be appropriate. An Edit Character feature that would allow you to change the name and possibly the hair (to any hair available in GW that the account has open that belongs to that gender and class).

I hate having the 'The Hedgehog' now. I'm not in the Sonic fan community anymore so it would be nice to ditch it for 'Goes Pve' or something

Read back what your wrote and just for a second be realistic!

Are you suggesting you understand the economics and business issues off running GWs better then a member of the Anet staff, or that you have better resources at hand to find that information out?

If you are, you need to grow up and just accept it if Gaile says it cant be done without charging a fee. Just because Anet says something cant be done without a charge and you dont like the sounds of it, is no reason to start slagging off one of their staff for being the messenger of bad news.

And big deal if she doesnt know exactly everything about the game!

Does Gaile actually do any coding, designing or testing or does she just handle PR? If she doesnt code, design or test then her only contact with actual ingame stuff is when she is either playing in her spare time or doing PR ingame and talking to customers to answer question.

And I expect alot of those questions get passed to other staff! I know I do that when I was working in IT support. Do you know everything about your job? or do you only know the bits concerning your department and the things you come in contact with?

I expect she only knows the stuff shes either taking a hand in creating or has experienced while playing, and while she may play A LOT, I expect she plays more then just GWs or has other projects on the go aswell. Thats alot of games to know stuff about. Ive played for a long time and I havent seen everything or done everything. Mainly because some aspects dont interest me!

Dont shoot the messenger just because they wont do what you ask and if you to say im kissing a*s then go ahead!

Frantic-Sheep · Jan 06, 2008, 08:52 PM // 20:52

Woo, I was sure this thread would exist. I'd like this very much, same problem as many: my first character name >_>

(eventho this thread started in 2005 :P)

You can't see me · Jan 06, 2008, 09:20 PM // 21:20

Gaile has clearly stated this will not be implemented. This thread is useless.

blade21 · Jan 07, 2008, 12:35 AM // 00:35

i def agree.

Gaile has not said this will not be implemented. Show me one place where she says that. As I recall, Anet has been entertaining this idea for some time, and are still undecidied because they wanted to know how many people think its a good idea.

I dont see how anyone can be against this idea imo...
