Don't worry, name change is technically possible, and I don't think they won't add it. Names are going from 15 to 20 characters per first/surname. It was mentioned that things like linkshell, friend lists and lodestone? data might be lost as a result; where you would have to reestablish a link to LS's and reenter friendlist people, but I don't think that's no reason not to add it.

I believe they'll add it, np. I intend to change my name as well.

Oh was that how it is, I don't remember too well
