Character Name Change Options

[Dias]

Yes, though you don't even need another account to do it. You can simply make a mule on another server with the same name, jump your main to it, and you'll be prompted with the message saying that the name is already taken and that you must pick a new one. It's how people have done it for years, especially around the times of server merges.

So really, people already change their names. It just requires a server jump and a 3 month wait to get back to your original server.

Well, it may sound cheap but I'd rather just make a free trial account than pay the extra buck for a second character since I'll already being paying $25 for the server transfer. A free trial account should be fine, I hope.

That will work just fine too.

Greetings,

I apologize that I can't say much but we would like to thank you for your suggestions to allow race changes as well as alter other character features. This feedback is being taken into consideration.

I am assuming name changes is also included in "alter other character features." that which was posted in the race change thread.

That's why when making names in FFXI I pick short and simple names. Remember the easter egg event? The one where you have to collect alphabet eggs to spell your name? At least I only have to worry about the letters P I S. It won't be embarrassment that people with names like deathdefyingdemonslayerx has to worry about, but that they'll have to find 24 eggs comprising of half the letters of the alphabet every day during the easter event, hehe.
