but maybe giving a 1-2 change per year (for the whole account)

because when you first pick it, it's meant to be serious.

I don't mind that this happens, but like you say it needs to be SERIOUSLY restricted. Its not like you should be able to change your name everytime your moood changes ie "I Am Bored" 2 days later "I Didnt Sleep"

I mean, I did screw up with the last names of two of my characters, because they don't match the rest of my guildwars character "family" but it doesn't matter to me either way

people shouldn't make chars (or play for that matter) when they're intoxicated or feeling like pulling a gag.

Here's to you:

She says that MAYBE in GW2 they will offer this feature.
And that will cost money. Real life money, not ingame money.

There are many reasons... just give a look to the previous pages of this thread.

I would love to change a couple of names on my characters. I only need it to happen once on a couple of characters. Just make it cost money. Like 5k/name change. Or even 10k that will keep people from abusing it.

5k and 10k are way too little. A person will 100k can easily change it a lot of times.

whoa mr richy rich :P. Well it would deter me. And I guess some people would be stoopid and spend all thier money to spam changing thier name. So then a limit once per year per character. And no charge.

Learn to take character creation more seriously before you play. If you use a silly name then why bother building that character up? I can understand just wanting to sample a primary profession if you just wanna see if you might be willing to continue with it. Soon as you know you like the profession, then delete the silly character and start over with a name you've given serious thought about.

I think Guild Wars needs to have bigger warning sign in the character creation menus to notify people to more more thought in their characters primary profession, hairstyle, skin tone, facial features and most importantly character name. A big red sign asking "ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE _____ YOU WANT? THERE IS NO GOING BACK!!!!!"

/signed if it costs ~50k per name change. That would be the ideal ammount to prevent abuse.

Pyjama Sam · Jan 09, 2008, 07:25 PM // 19:25

This is a great idea, I agree 50k would be the right price to change it. I've played too much with my character's to still have them running around with crappy names...

/signed charging money to change it i think is the wrong way to go about it i think havening it time sensitive would be better. like you can change it once every 3 or 6 months

I don't mind paying some plats for name change... /signed

=HT=Ingram · Jan 10, 2008, 11:33 AM // 11:33

How about a real money fee like in other MMOs? for character name change that is... Not tailor.

I have to admit it would be nice to be able to go and chance the character skin to a different campaign skin BUT obviously its not that big a deal. Its just a would be nice to have. but considering the current state of the game I somehow doubt that will happen.

/not signed, scammers changing names. NTY.

Wow, this thread is still alive 2 years later. I still want this implemented.

Sparks Dawnbringer · Jan 19, 2008, 09:54 AM // 09:54

Well, this is being hashed out yet again. I'm suprised you didn't get refered to all the other posts in the past that asked this.

I don't have any problems with being able to change things about how you look i.e. sex, hair, colors, height whatever.

But your name is how others recognise you. So if you are a good guy and respectiful player no problem. But consider if you are a scammer and take advantage of players if you could change your name how would any one recognise you. If a ranger named XXXXXXXX cheated me than changed his name how would I know if he tried to trade with me again.

A 2 year old necro'ed thread that hasn't been locked down?? SHOCK!

I can agree that I would like a hair changer, but the rest I can't personally agree with. I chose my char's carefully for the long haul. I wanted to make sure that I would be happy with how my char's look for as long as I play them. I like the idea of a hair changer for it seems more natural change for the GW setting, plus how many of us keep our hair the same way for years on end without trying something new or hair just simply growing longer in length or disappearing altogether.

However, isn't this thread beating a very dead, pulverized, and hashed horse?

RotteN · Jan 19, 2008, 03:33 PM // 15:33

only if it's restricted like they used to restrict territory changes.

5 name changes maximum per account for example, to prevent all the obvious abuse that can come from being able to change nicknames ...

I support this idea I want to change my Ranger's Name also if possible allow a way to change their Character's Face and Hairstyles too, my Ranger needs a new hair color.
