Name changing

[kogitsune]

Again, seems like you read nothing I said. I was quite serious about the name. Things have changed in my life and NOW it is a cause of emotional pain. Maybe someday you'll understand the concept. My reasons are personal and none of your business, but if my post was too long for you to bother reading to understand, allow me to simplify it--

You were fine with the name you took when you married someone. Now you're divorced. Should you be forced to keep their last name for the rest of your life?

I find it a little silly you're so adamant about people keeping names, but I read in another post where you're perfectly fine with fantasia potions being sold on the mog station to change appearance between races on a whim. Why are you concrete on names but changing the characters entire appearance doesn't matter? That seems awfully silly. Going from an Elezen to Roegdyn to Mi'qote is certainly not the same as a haircut.

1. I actually read your post's a good number of times. And I fully understand what you mean.
2. I actually WOULD keep my name because why would I change the name people know me by?
3. Yes, Fantasia Potions. And you only get very few in the game (If your lucky, with full benefits, only 2 max or that 1 freebie you get for the month reward). Do you see name change potions in the game? No? Alright then so moving right along...
4. I could hardly care about your personal reasons but if you truly want to waste money just to change a name then who is to stop you? You can keep on asking but SE wont do anything unless a huge amount of players really want it. Other than that, I hear nothing in the news about SE working on some kind of name changing service. (hence, the little crown on a topic)

Hence this being a suggestion forum.

I have zero understanding for your anger and your bickering seems immature and pointless.

who's angry and bickering?
I was simply pointing out my opinion.

I simply stated that paying to change your name instead of making another character is just a waste of money and time.
But if you really want, we can continue to throw our opinions at each other.

Well, then I equally think changing your characters' race two times is a waste of time and money. You should have been more serious when you chose.

ahh but if I make a new character I can get the fantasia potions yet again sense it's connected to my account like all my other rewards.
but for a name change... you can only do that once am I correct?

Not once, never. Failing to see you're point, as that's why I've supported adding the feature to the game, which is a standard option in almost every online game, especially MMO, created in the last ten years.

So I'm still failing to see why you're gloating about fantasia potions. You don't think people should be able to change their name, but you're fine with people adjusting their entire appearance and actual race. Your opposition to the suggestion of changing names when you have that kind of attitude about changing appearance is just plain weird.

By the way, you can force a name change by buying a server transfer, creating a new character with the same name, then buying a second transfer and moving the character back after a 3-4 day waiting period. So for a total of four days and 36 dollars you can change your name within the bounds of the game's own parameters "at will."

But pardon, isn't that excessive? So again, might I suggest a basic online game function.
