Name Change

[ArkNova]

Changing name is so complex though cause then you pretty much wipe your identity in a sense. Even after the name change you then have to spend countless times explaining to others, ya I use to be Rina the Elezen but now I"m Rhino the Male Miquote. <_< Maybe they could give unique titles to people that change their names so others can ease into the process like "The Eelzen Formerly known as Rina" and such lol

I can understand where your coming from and you bring up a good point but I'll only explain to my ls and friends that this is my new name and I don't think it'd take too long to get accustomed to the new name and any players I don't know I just wouldn't bother telling them what my name used to be because regardless what my name was before they didn't know me anyway ^^;

again, why you changing your name?

You keep asking, and being answered D:

It's like those who rolled F.Miq because they wanted to be a cat-person but since there was no male option chose a feminine name.

Now at 2.0, we'll be able to re-choose our race/appearance so wouldn't it be silly if you saw a really strong looking M.Miq called "Kittyfluffy Starshimmer" or whatever.

You don't have to want to change your name, that's totally cool but there's good reason for others wanting to do it.

bit weird question, if we want to use another gender in 2.0 or another "species" we might think the name we used for old character is not fitting the new one... not sure what is hard to understand...

I am against name changes cause it lets those with bad reputations and such to continue to be bad people.

They're going to be bad people regardless of what name they have , them keeping the same name won't change that ><, that being said I do understand where you're coming from, it'll just take a bit to figure out who they are again

why would you change your name?

Why do you think everyone wants to keep their character's name if they're changing gender/race or if the look they want is not fitting of their character's name? Actually, why are you against giving people more features?

Some people that are heavy into the game's lore might take advantage of the name change. Ferne released an explanation awhile back how Lalafell names work. Call me crazy but some people just might change their race to Lalafell and just might wanna change their name to feel more tied to their race, the RP community comes to mind when I think of this.

again, why you changing your name?

For roleplay

example: the name Barue Marue is 1A ok for a Lalafell, but not for a female Highlander.

I change my female Miqo'te to a male Miqo'te and I hope I can change my first name a bit. Maybe to "Soak Felis"
