Changing character name

[Niwashi]

It would have to be either very limited (a one-time only option, perhaps, like the Phial of Fantasia is), or else cost money. If it were too readily available, it would become a tool for griefers (who would just change their name whenever they become well-known enough for people to start avoiding them). But I do agree that offering a one-time only name change would be good, especially as they've already offered a one-time only race & gender change.

There's a cumbersome method I've heard of some people considering. Create a character on another world with the same exact name you have now. Transfer your regular character there, prompting the chance to rename her. Wait whatever the transfer cooldown period is, and then transfer back (or just remain on the new server if you're not yet too deeply involved in your FC and don't care where you play). Note that the cooldown period between changes means that only one transfer would be free. You'd have to pay to transfer back.

EDIT:
Ah, that priority listing Phraust listed is different than what I saw a while ago. At that point they were saying the priority would be to the character already on the destination world. Perhaps they've changed it.
