Name Change

[rina_inverse]

Serious question, why would you change your name?
Your name is your identity pre-2.0, why would you change it?
Why not create a totally new character if you like a new name

Even Yoshi-P questioned this in one of his letter

Obvious answer incoming. Why make a new character and lose all my level 50's when all I simply want is a name-change (only useable if you did the gender/race change). No offense but I wouldn't want a Female Miqote named Dargoth. Or if I change to a Male Miqote I may not wish to change my name but would like to have that option. How I see it is that your Surname is your identity not your first name. So it is pretty obvious upon itself why some want a name change, though I am sure some of the a-holes want one so they can wreak havoc with a new name but whatever.

I'm all for allowing name change with the 2.0 recustomizations but I recognize there's difficulty involved.

My husband is a female Elezen, with a really Elezen (and really girly) sounding name currently -- he wants to switch to a Male Mi'qote in 2.0 but probably won't if he's stuck with his present name.

There really isn't much difficulty involved overall it comes down simply to the devs decision on it. Some don't think you should be able to and as I was saying you should only be allowed to change your character first name and be forced to keep your surname.
