Name Change

[rina_inverse]

Let me conjure some examples

Player A: "OMG, those peoples are annoying! How dare they use the same name like me, Lina. I'm not hip anymore!"
Player B: "OMG, that male miqote looks cute. ME WANNA!!!'"
Player C: "Crap. This is bad. I accidentally kill my friend. I need to lay down. Oh, what to do, what to do. I know! I'll change my appearance and name. Now no one will catch me!"

All: "But I don't want to replay it all again!!!"

Yea, I guess thats called selfish


ps: I'm not against change. I'm against ridicoulous idea that will/potentially bring imbalance to either game mechanics, game experience and game lore. For those who said that I'm not role play enough, actually I role play enough. And right now, I'm role play as some adventurer in medievel setting, and to no friggin way access to some gender or even race change. Sure, I could dye my hair blond or black, but that? Totally not gonna happen in medieval setting

Think there's some missing logic here.

Human beings found out about... (how to say this in a proper manner?)
"How to re-populate themselves?" before they invented fire or the Wheel.
All pre medieval settings.

Name change isnt something brand new and been around for ages past, this include aliases etc.
Human beings change their last name in marrige too you know.

I doubt name change will bring much inbalance to game mechanics as you suggest.
Bad players, acting like morons, harassing others brings unbalance to online gaming experience.
nuff said.

I don't even get the point you are trying to make.

Square Enix is adding missing genders that I would have like to play as. They want us to have the opportunity to change since 2.0 is a DIFFERENT game with DIFFERENT graphics so we pretty much HAVE to remake our characters.

As far as name games, it makes sense if you are change gender. Some would just rather a name change like me because I have a name that I would have rather gone by.

Why not gtfo and live and let live? Can't wait for pvp... too bad I'm not on Sargantas, since I know you'll be keeping the same name ^_^

btw wanting to change your name is not selfish. Acting like the entire game should revolve around you and you alone, is however.
