First: because those people that AFK in DF or grief groups in DF for whatever reason should not be allowed to change their name to escape what they have done.

Second: because I see alot of really stupid names, I feel people who think that it is funny to name themselves something ridiculous like Dick Flapper should have to stick with that pos name or roll another character when their judgment is better.

Third: because if they allow it then it will enable RMTs to sell powerleveling services more easily, powerlevel with a bot and who cares if everyone knows that you are running a bot because once the person buys it they just change the name and nobody is the wiser.

I don't mind having a forced name change on people that are reported for offensive names but as for letting us change it at will, I would rather not have that, I think it was more than enough for them to have us change our names from 1.0.

Reasons why name change SHOULD be available!

1: name change is already possible by changing servers anyways, you just change twice but that’s an unnecessarily annoying process.

2: Profit for SE

3: you’re selfish

4: The potion allows players to change their sex but not there name, this has no logic.

5: you’re selfish

6: Players characters are linked to their forum name anyway so you can find out who they are if you really care that much.

7: There also in your blacklist, friends-list, linkshell so forth so it's not that hard to guess who they are.

8: Most players don't wish to change their name because of reputation and just that they wanted to change their character, but honestly who really cares enough about what someone else dose or there reason for it? Does it affect your game-play so much that you feel the need to restrict an option that could make alot of players have a more enjoyable experience?

9: If players are caught botting they would be banned no matter what there name is, changing there name wouldn't stop that. Reports to there account would still be in effect.

Since I feel it needs to be said. Character data in a database isn't going to be looked up on by the character name for f sake. If you blist someone, I would hope, it blists them by their internal id or guid such that if their name changes, they're still blisted. Having fantasia be able to change your gender but not your name seems silly. Obviously if i were to change my character to a guy, i wouldn't want to keep the name Valarice.
