Race/gender/name change choice

Name change is already possible. Its expensive and time-consuming, but easy enough for anyone looking to escape their reputation.

An easier, more legit name change feature wouldn't give any more power to bad players than already exists. But, it would allow decent players to escape awful names (Xxspehirothxx or Icantthinkofaname), with less hassle.

Thanks for the update Oki :) im happy to see that the development team is at least looking into it.

We appreciate your patience in this matter and we'll be sure to announce updates as soon as we have them to share!

Hope to see this in race changes... this would get me back into FFXI while I wait for 2.0.

It might break lore a bit, but if ever race/gender changes were to be allowed...

I would love to see male Mithras become playable.

Wouldn't stop the army of Manthras I am sure.

It'll stop them exactly as much as it would stop the army of female humes and elvaans played by males.

My main char is off-gender only because I alternate male/female whenever I have the choice of gender. And since my last char was a male in EQ, FFXI has a female char :D Then I made a male in Vanguard. Female in FFXIV. Male in Dragon Age. Female in Skyrim. Etc.

Server change breaks lore. BLU/PUP/COR Relic in Dynamis breaks lore.

At least with race/server change, you can say "a wizard did it," which is a hell of a lot better than the explanation (or lack thereof) for near-Eastern jobs' armor in Dynamis.

Whenever I changed servers i just pretended like I was accidentally warped to a parallel dimension. With the vanadielan time/space continuum looking more like a swiss cheese than anything else, that actually sounds entirely plausible!
