Name change :)

When SE first announced veteran awards, it was stated that fantasia would allow you to change everything except class. Now it states everything except name and class. I guess I'm stuck with my test character's temporary name now......

Edit due to posting limits: When I applied to my FC, I stated that I was planning on changing my character's name to avoid confusion. I figured on something like "Fixana", or just "Fixitmans Ho" (chuckle). Now they are going to have to get used to Sophiane in-game being Fixitman on TS... and I feel stupid for saying I was going to change her name.

I'm in the same boat :| 'Heal Bot' I wan't to level a tank next but, this name is not very tank-esque

I am now Heal Bot.. the Summoner x_x

Just Bumping again!

I'm curious, when server transfers roll around, what will happen if someone has our name on a different server? I tried to create a toon on Gilgamesh for fun this morning and someone already had Heal Bot

Will they force us to change name? If so that's pretty good

I want this too! I want to change my race to Elezen, but "Buster Stonegrip" doesn't sound very Elezen-ish.

Please SE!

SE pls respond :|

I think a name change should have come with the fantasia potion. I can't imagine how many people leveled to 30s-40s+ with a certain race/sex, found out they hated it, and wanted to change to something of the opposite sex or even just another race... but they're stuck with their name! I agree though, paid name changes should be a definite thing. I think eventually paid race changes and recustomizations should be allowed as well!

All my friends are laughing at me because I am a tank with the name Heal Bot ಠ_ಠ

I agree with this. I want to do a race change with my vial but can't because my name is both race and gender based. There is no reason this shouldn't be a part of the vial

Seconding this. Name changes should be part of race/gender/appearance changes. Once there are more costume or aesthetic items, people are certainly going to want to make use of them and probably want to be able to swap genders now and then based on what is released. This is especially true given that the Armoire is not shared among characters on the account, ruling out the option of rerolling as a way to make name fit gender.

Probably a quick way for this to get noticed is to post it a couple of times from different people here in the next live letter question forum.

Wish they would add the name change to the Fantasia Item though since I was thinking about changing my character so my Friends from FFXI would know who I am quicker then having to remember my character this time around but not going to do that till they add the name change to the Fantasia.

I posted in that topic! I will update that link in the OP so everyone can see it

Name Change Pleaseeeee <3

Yes they should! Go post in the Developper live letter thread that I put in the original post! :D

Hello, I actually logged to forums just to support this thread.
First of all I thank you Heal_Bot for making this thread and yes I fully support name change service in some form. It's not like that I don't like my current name but I would most likely want to change my characters gender with fantasia next month and it just sucks if you happen to have feminish name. Most logical solution would be name change service added to fantasia like it was mentioned so many times already in this post because tbh it doesn't make sense that you can change gender but not name... I don't want this name to be a tattoo I carry for the rest of my life :P

Yep! Even if it's only a one-time use, I would'nt mind. Of course I would prefer it be a paid service (maybe something like 3 months cooldown or something to avoid people trolling other players and then getting a name change.)

It would make us happy, we'd spend money, and in turn it would make SE happy.

bump!

10char

Making sure this stays around!

Name changes still needed!

Why didn't they already implement this along with the Fantasia item?

Who knows, I went ahead and changed my race now I'm just hoping to heck and back that they will put in name changes sometime soonish

I don't want to change server and then be stuck on a foreign server just to get a name change :/

Also the option to change your name should be somewhat DEFAULT when changing the appearance of your character! It is kind of idiotic to give customers the opportunity to change race and gender and NOT the option to change your characters name from Male <-----> Female! Soon Eorzea will be full of Male "Kate Beckinsale"'s running around! So yes, pls implement the name change option to either into the appearance change or as an individual option. I suppose money isnt the problem for most players nevertheless.

I agree, I named my toon Mithra Windhurst cause I rolled a Miquo'te or Mithra as they were known, but now I want to play a Hume, the name just wouldn't make any sense.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I would love this. :) Make it so, Yoshi P.

Would love to see a name change service added to the game, not for myself but for my indecisive husband. ^

I'd really like to have a name change function myself, hope Yoshida is considering it.

Has anybody tried to directly petition a GM to have them change it for you? I'm thinking about it. And if enough people do it, maybe it would get SE's attention quicker.

I've submitted 2 tickets so far as well as call SE support. One ticket was canceled after I called (but updated with info I wanted... so not sure what happened there), the other is still pending, and the phone call turned up nothing as well. Not really sure how to submit a ticket in-game to be honest. Only see things for harassment and cheating and stuff.

I believe the live-chat could be of some use, however it's always loaded and when it comes to be your turn it tells you there are no more available agents and to try again later >_>

I want a name change :P

Would changing Your Name take you from peoples blacklists?
If so, I could see why we won't get it.

I don't think it does, since legacy characters get name changes.

I've never been able to find live chat for XIV, only XI

why hasn't there be an official response to this >_> there's like 9 pages

Maybe they are waiting for it to hit page 10?

Ironically I came to this specific forum to suggest this. I'm glad to see a thread was already created and with so many responses. I'd also like to vouch for the addition of this feature, and I'd be willing to pay money to use it as well.
