SE: Please Add A NAME CHANGE Option

[Fizzie]

It can even be a paid "optional service" - I don't care.

Like so many others, I wasn't aware of the Lore-friendly naming systems and I sooo want to change my lalafell's name to fit the Lore now.

there's a way to do it now via server transfer.

1.) find a server and make a new character with your name on it
2.) transfer your current character to that server, since there's a duplicate name the server will ask you to change your name
3.) transfer back to your server or stay
4.) more profit for SE

I had considered that, but I don't see why I should have to pay out for transfers when all I want is a name change. I'm also a guild master, so I don't think leaving is a viable option anyway.

...since there's a duplicate name the server will ask you to change your name...

That means, the function is already implemented!
I guess it just needs be exposed to player with some "Name Fantasia" potion, and follow same procedure as appearance.

Are you serious? you just said this.

Then you say I don't see why I should pay out haha but you don't care? So what if they decided to make the cost 36 bucks to change name? same cost as a server transfer what then.

18 there and 18 back.

Also if you did jump server to rename, just hope you don't choose a name that was on the server you was on to begin with,

Honestly, i was always confused that fantasia option didn't include this option.

Do a little search. I don't remember in which it is, but in one of the countless threads like yours that were made, Yoshi P replied that such thing is in the works. It just isn't ready yet. It definitely is coming though, since Fantasia has been made limitlessly available, and people may want to change their name to fit their new race's naming conventions.

Hell, maybe it was even in a LIVE letter, I really don't remember.

I can't log on now to verify but did they remove the cap on the amount of Fantasias you can buy?? If so... It's time to revisit the mog station lol

I understand how you feel but this is your ONLY option if you want to change your name, No way around that as even if they suddently annouced a name change service today it wouldn't even be implemented anytime soon.

As for FC if you are that serious about name changing, give leader to someone you trust, Leave it, make preparations by making a character with name to change, switch server, change name, wait 3 days, come back, change name. Rejoin, get lead back.

There you have it, yes it's an annoying process and costly, but it's the only way right now. unless of course you remake your character (yea, right)

[Morzy]

Yeah.. A friend of mine switched servers to "find a better one" and he came back with a different name, lol. Kind of jealous.. Might do it myself some day except for the fact of me losing my entire friends list..

EDIT: + losing linkshells, I presume
