Sell Fantasia on the Mogstation

[Arasiel]

It already states in the in-game FAQ that if/when a player changes their name it is updated in friend/blacklists. This is a non-issue.

No name change please.

Huh... perhaps this is why my FC friends call me a Potato...

That said, I miss being a Roegadyn and no, I can not request the item to be restored as it has been over ten days since I last used it. Customer support was very quick in responding (with the bad news) to my item restoration request

Damn! Sorry to hear that. :[

GMs gave me the impression that it'll be restored since it was only 12 days since mine was last used. Still awaiting an official response either via email or in-game mail on their investigation. I even spoke to a GM and she kindly asked me which character that I would like my Fantasia restored to! :O

Awesome news

I'm totally down with the name changes as well. It's highly likely that the name you picked for your current race would not fit your newly designed/fantasia'd character. My surname of Fuzzypaws would be ridiculous on just about every other race :3

I do think though they would need to make the following possible if they allow name changes:

-Have the character's lodestone page display all aliases used in the past
-Make it so that the friendlist/blacklist updates automatically to show the new names (and also maybe show past names used).

I've seen your last name 'round and about and it makes me CRINGE! D;
KITTYFEET!

lol, who can possibly hate fuzzy paws!! D:

I keep finding more and more of us running around on Balmung also - seems to be a mini-epidemic.

The team is still discussing the details around this, but in the future we definitely want to offer more phials of Fantasia as well as something that allows players to change their name.

I hope we can get an ETA soon, I am chomping at the bit to be able to buy me some Fantasias and Name Changes (separate or together) o_o

No name change please.

I also don't understand everyones animosity toward name changes. We know the names are changed on black and friends lists, if you're still hung up about the whole reputation thing the odds of running into that person can be slim to none anyway. And a lot of people appreciate it. @Shaddix in-particular, I just choose to quote you because you said it so short and sweet.

[SynMaris]

Not a bad idea.

To those opposed to name changes: You know you can already change your name, right?

All you have to do is create a character on a different server with the name of your main character, then transfer it to that server and you will be prompted to change your name.

One way or another d-bags will be able to name change, might as well let SE profit off of it!

Also: So sick of this "but people might abuse it, so lets ruin it for the people with legitimate needs!" mentality.

There's a huge timer on server transfers though, you have to transfer and wait a long time before you can transfer back, assuming you even want to stay on the same server.

If I wanted to steal my free companies bank, I would just take all the items, delete everyone off my friend list, pop my fantasia and boom. Only people who had me on blist would know who I was.

An easy name change like this is preposterous.

What does this huge timer even matter. "If they even wanted to stick around." is my point exactly. They're going to be reported first off so good luck to them keeping all the stuff they stole and secondly if I stole a bunch of shit the last thing I'm going to do is stick around for the off chance that someone notices it's me with a different name. Your argument simply holds no merit.

It enables people to think they can get away with stealing since they can easily change their name. This is a bad thing.
