oh, playing it like a D&D cleric is fun. Playing WHM the way people want you to is boring.

Anyway... It's my humble opinion that things like your name and race are and should be weighty decisions that you need to think about before going with. Making changes acccessible will cause people to be more cavalier about their selections and in the case of names, will result in an increase in silly names like Peenerweener and such, knowing that they can change it later..
