Name Change

[Zenaku]

Did you not read all my post? lol. I'm talking about more then just facial etc...

Hmm ya i read it wrong sorry, Hmm i think it's a 100% redo but i guess we see the more we come close to 2.0.

Hoping we get an answer to this soon! If I can't change my name I guess I will just start over and use this as my mule/secondary character ._.

Maybe op doesn't have any friends, so a name change wouldn't affect his social events, because no one would miss him?

Edit: Did not see above posters name. That is a terrible name.

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.

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.

Maybe they will open up a roleplay server with no options to change? But Ridill deserves a name change damnitaru!!
Roleplay setting: The syndicate of Ul'dah allows you a one time name change with a high price.

The more options the better in the modern age of MMOs.

Rina your argument would be more valid if the case was you could change your name on a whim but seeing as people are asking for a one time name change the players that are mean and nasty wont be able to stay in hiding for long. So what your saying is no one can RP as someone that lost their name and memory so they adopt a new name? I guess back in the dark ages or any period of time for that matter there was absolutely no way that a traveler far from home could loose their memory and since no one knows them they take on a new name?
