Namingway Card items?

Now that we all have the option to change the gender of our characters, I would like to throw in my support for both a name change service and a 'gender specific gear' exchange vendor.

As annoying as it would be for a transsexual to be running around as a female named "Mr Manly Pants", it is even more annoying to have completed the Lightning event and be unable to equip the rewards.

Square plz.

I would appreciate this option and fully support this idea.

Fantasia should have a namechange, too.

I agree! I would totally want this

I support this!!

Fantasia should have a namechange too, i agree with this.

I think this is a good idea and should be added.

I like the idea of making it a veteran reward in addition to a public list of "previous names" for any given character.

If there is no restrictions in place for Fantasia or a Namingway item the anonymity alone will destroy guilds when the unscrupulous see a moment of greed to rob people blind with no repercussions.

GLOBAL NAMES. Not only would such a system hold jerks accountable even if they name change, it would also make life easier when playing alts, adding people to friend/black lists, and player search.

Is there still really no name changes? That's kind of a basic for MMOs... I'm really disappointed that if I want to change my name, I'd have to restart. I chose a name rather quickly, because I didn't want to sit around for a week deciding on one I wouldn't regret, and now that I have a better idea I'm out of luck. :<

Please please pleaaaaase add a name change.

Yes, I looked through the forum. No, I did not see dev posts about this. This is a very large forum so please don't tell me to look harder - I searched! I saw people mention that devs have said something about it, but I cannot find the source (and no one links to it...). So! That said, if there has been further news, feel free to direct me to it! :3

I am definitely on board with this idea

I was amused by my dumb name when I was drunkenly making my character. I still kind of like it but I would totally throw down some money to change it to something else. Honestly, it seems like only a matter of time before it's added to the Mog Station as a service. But it would also fit perfectly in the game itself as a Namingway card.

Bump, and totally agree with this. Given that Fantasia is planning on being sold soon, it'd be ideal to sell a name change card at the same time, perhaps even as a package deal for people who are planning on changing their race.

Otherwise Eorzea will be filled with Miqo'te with Roegadyn names, Elezen with Hyur names... it will be chaos!

This needs to be done now. I wish I hadn't played this character as long as I have....

Is there still no recent official word on this? ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡

I just hope they have a Fantasia + Namingway card combo deal. I know WoW does something like that where you can just get the name change alone or pay for a race change with complimentary name change.

Ok I really need that name change along with fantasia, come on now. its been way too long, how hard is it to give us this service...

I agree with everyone above. Got my Fantasia still sitting in my inventory because what's the point in using it if I can't change my name to match a new character theme?

they are getting late in do this and probably they dont want to do this obviously because they will lost 36$ each time someone want to change is name, if they do that probably lost a lot of money so cause of that is taking a lot of time, lol hope it will be soon, 6 months waiting with out pay 36$

hope they add a option for this but they obviosusly dont want cause of that, but they will not have more option or excuses in future so they will add it, i hope

but who knows what excuse can they say for say no to this lol xD would be ridiculus

the only excuse is less money, money diferennce, not good for them but hope they do soon

Totally want the name change +1

This needs to happen very soon. I doubt there's much of a tech impairment to add this functionality.

/sign

Imagine my dismay when I used my Fantasia to discover my character (having gone from male to female to male again) is a guy stuck with the name "Mizz". I don't think so. I'd easily pay $10 or so to change this ASAP, at will, but until then I'm a little reluctant to keep playing on the only character I've made decent progress on.

Please, please add a name change option. With the marriage system coming, fantasia that you can buy, and the addition of dresses, I find myself wanting to play a character that matches me better as a female, however, my character's name is male and it's quite an issue. >_<;

Ahem...

If the entire server is harassing you you probably deserve it.

This game definitely needs a legit, no-nonsense way to change character names on the user's end. Even a paid service also limited by time would be incredible. Because this game is designed to let you have a single character and do everything on it, it seems absurd to me that there is no way to change your name and only a single race/customization change opportunity available. You're playing one single character for your entire time in-game for most people, and yet there's no remedy for when you get tired of looking the same and having the same name. This needs to change, Square Enix!

Want a name change so bad then create a new character with same name on another server.
Then transfer your character to that server.
Then it will ask you to change your name.
There your done.

I realize that you can create a character on a different world with the same name, then transfer ($18 USD) the character you want to have the name change done to that world to force a different name... but if all your friends and the free company you are with is on the world you are coming from, then you have to wait 3 days and pay another transfer fee to go back.

I made the mistake at announcing a bot. The person eventually returned to their PC and saw I called them out. Now it is almost borderline harassment. The player won't actually "say" or "tell" anything but uses emotes targeted at me. Somehow the person knows where I am at and like actively seeks me out. They will disrupt any farming attempts I am doing so it makes it very difficult to get materials I need to make gear.

I guess the point is, if SQ. Ex made the name change and optional service via Mog Station for, say, $5 or maybe $10 I know I would not hesitate to do it. I am also pretty sure that others would do it too.

My name is Ehayte Feytes.... Intended to be pronounced 'Eight Fates' . . . not 'I Hate FATEs.'

I hate my life. I don't really care about FATEs one way or the other. I made my character day 1, I had no idea FATEs were part of the game.

le sigh

Excellent Idea i back this 100%

I don't understand why this was not implemented with the Fantasia potion if you can change gender. It would make more sense to have the option no matter what, instead of just when there is a name conflict.

+1 please implemented change nama also!!! =)

WTB namingway card

Polite bump...could we get a dev response on this please? :) I remember a long time ago saying these would come sometime..just wondering if there are any updates ^^

But if there are namingway cards, they can avoid any punishment or accountability by simply changing their name.

No, no, no, no, no.

I can't recall the name of the MMO but, it used to have name change service but there used to be a function in the website where you could search the person, and it would show the names he has used, so pretty much your bad rep could not be erased with a name change.

I want this, so bad. Veteran reward, event item, quest item, purchased with real or in game money, addition to Fantasia. Any of that would be fantastic. I chose Miqo'te and now regret it, but don't want a Miqo'te name on an Elezen. My server is almost always locked and I doubt if I transferred off I could get back on easily. During the transfer lockout, I would be off my unofficial RP server, and the other unofficial RP server is usually locked as well. That's not a feasible solution. I don't mind paying the money, but the complications involved is too high.

I don't understand the resistance based on "Grievers will abuse this!" Why hold the entire community of good people back for the handful of bad? And more than likely, if it's like other games, name changes don't remove you from a guild list, friend list, or black list. It just changes your name on that list. The person would remain ignored.

Sorry for the rant, I just -really- want this.
