Hello there everyone!
Firstly i'd like to apologize if this matter has been adressed previously (i have tried searching the forums but i cannot find anything).
When I finally got the time to download ARR (being a 1.0 player) i thoroughly enjoyed cuztomising my new appearance, I had long since decided i wanted to make a female roegadyn.
When i tried logging in with my new setup and name, the server threw me out since there were no more places, so I had to wait.
My customization was gone, but i had saved a preset, so i tried again and clicked my preset and logged in succesfully. However i then discovered that my name had not been saved.
Now i'm stuck with a male tarutaru name for my roegadyn female. It is highly inappropriate.
I just think that you should be able to change your name in these events. I feel that i have not wasted my one-time offer of changing my name since it was an accident occuring from server congestions and confusion about the new setup and game.
I have already spoken to GMs about this, and i have been told that at the moment this is not possible so they have advised me to voice my opinion here.
Furthermore i think that namechanging should be something that you can buy from Square Enix, there are so many advantages with namechanging in a RP situation AND in little mishaps like this.
In my MMO history i have never seen a disadvantage with being able to change your name. I do not believe people change their name often just for the sole fact of that you create an identity and reputation with your name.
I do however do not want to be misunderstood as sympathising with creating odd and childish names that ruin the gaming experience for so many. This is not my point at all and I hope that you understand this.
Anyway! a lengthy ramble for a seemingly little problem (although for me it's extremely vexing)
Please allow us to be able to change our names at some point!
Kind regards
