May we please have a name change option?

I would like the option as well. If time has proven anything about the FF community, it's that it's impossible to escape a bad reputation. I don't think there is an XI player alive who doesn't know who Feiwong is and that guy was all over the place. Somehow, the community always tracked him down.

It isn't hard to avoid gaining a bad reputation. Simple human decency will usually suffice. If someone can't manage that then yes, they are not welcome in the game, they will never be welcome in the game, and they SHOULD be trackable and hounded until they leave the game for good. People can change for the better, it is true - so, these people should accept that they made a mistake, take their changed self to a new game and start fresh with new friends and companions.

There are good reasons to allow name changing and appearance changing. Granting folks the ability to escape a bad reputation is not one of those good reasons. Self-policing through ostricization is pretty much the only recourse left when it comes to bad eggs that don't technically break any rules (and therefore have no grounds for banning).
