2. like i have said before when people get banned for inappropriate names. they are forced to change there characters name.
so anet can do it, and has the means to do it.

you are simply flat out wrong.

1. very early on in 05 a few months after GW came out the head programmers stated flatly that the way the secure account database is designed/programmed/set up it is not chanageable for love/money/or a pissed employee.

2. SO CALLED BAD NAME CHANGES ARE A MASK PROGRAM SHOWING THE PLAYERS AN ACCEPTABLE NAME.

CUSTOMIZE SOMETHING AFTER A SO CALLED NAME CHANGE AND IT IS STILL CUSTOMIZED FOR THE BAD NAME SHOWING THE ACCOUNT ITSELF WAS NOT CHANGED.

actually read dont skim.

the mask is applied on a one by one basis not an automatic anybody could get it.

second i stated items customized to the character AFTER THE CHANGE remain the original UNCHANGED account name proving the programmers correct that the account name itself has not been changed.

way back before the mask you had to delete the character and everything on it and start over.

because the account name is not changable.

clear now?

i am reading and i am responding to the fact that your aqusting me of saying that customized items after a name change are the same as the old name and i am saying i never said anything about that. the only comment i made about customization was how they changed mini pets.

even if its a mask they could change the customization to dedicated just like they did with mini pets. so case in point it still isnt that much work.

also you dont work for anet nor do you or i know exactly how that codeing is implemented. we just know its there.

I hate some of my characters names, but everyone knows that character already, so I don't wanna delete. D=

Make it limited though, a one or two time thing. It would be pretty easy to violate alot of the in-game rules if a victim was unable to use the /report option, due to a constant name change. I think this is a great idea, but keep in mind how it may be abused.

I have 2 or 3 charicters I would love to be able to change the names on. Im all for a name change feature.

If you couldn't be arsed to make a proper name for a character before you spent 2000 hours playing it before realising that "LOL I SN1F P4NTI3S" was a bit silly then tbh , you're stupid and deserve to be stuck with it.

HECK YES! If I named my blood necro "The Sugar Plum Berry Fairy". I would definately want the option to change the name to "Bloodslinger". But i think how many times people changes their names should be limited to about 2 or 3 cuz i bet a lot of people would spam it. /signed

I accidentally named my Ranger after a NPC in Yohlon Haven. Really don't know why. And I wasn't drunk back then. I feel a bit ashamed to play a ranger named like that...

I know this is probably my fault, but I shouldn't have name my Mesmer "Naughty Secretary."

Now I'm getting spammed with ASL (Age/Sex/Location).

Taninim Nurin · May 23, 2008, 09:38 PM // 21:38

I think fundamentally this perhaps is a wonderful option. Though, I'd also like to see the option to retain copyrights to the name; making it unavailable to anyone else.

I have retired a few characters over the last year or so, in doing so their names have become available. I must admit to a little envy seeing different variations of their particular name. Perhaps I am being selfish, well in admitting that *sticks out tongue* mine mine mine.

Back to the topic, yes the option is indeed, needed. With that, next the change of gender will come, looks, and so on. I look forward to that.

would i like for this feature to be available......yes.

do i think it will ever happen.........no.

not all the people who want to change their names have dumb names. i would love to change the name of my main, simply because i'm tired of it but don't want to stop playing her cuz of all her accomplishments.

if it ever were to be implemented, i think a "name change" should only be available via some sort of experience or reputation achievement OR as a birthday present. make the people actually do some work to change their names, not spend money. or the birthday present option since the character has been around for at least 1 year. it's sort of like being able to change your name on some message boards. you can only do it after a set time or a set number of posts and/or achievements.
