That's okay. I keep posting here hoping other people will pay attention....
Being able to change your name every month for free does sound like it is a bit excessive and could get confusing, I agree, but that's not exactly what most people on here have been asking for. Yes, my name is my identity and should have thought it through more, I realize this, but I was trying to rush to get onto a server that I knew other people on which had been on lockout for awhile. My name was fine and I thought it fit when I was an Elezen, but now it does not. They offer a service that specifically allows this sort of complete character overhaul, so why not add a name change as well?
The thing is, this is the first MMO that I have really gotten into and spent time on. When I made my character, my name being my identity didn't even occur to me for some reason. (Again, yes, my fault) I didn't think that I personally would actually being playing with other characters a lot, considering I played my character in WoW to 40-something solely by doing quests either alone or occasionally with my husbands help. (I know, don't need to tell me how wrong I was) I didn't really expect to make friends since I've always been awkward and had a hard time doing so, I didn't think I would join an FC. I would very much like to create an identity now that I know exactly what it entails, but I've put too much work into this character to just start over. It's not like I want to put on a mask and change my name all the time.
I do see the points being laid out there, but RuneScape is only one example of how this sort of system has been implemented in other games. The parameters for a name change in that game isn't exactly what most of us are looking for in this game, most have suggested different sorts of guidelines. But I'm probably just whining because I want this service.
As I said as well, I could live with it if they didn't put it in, it wouldn't make me stop playing, I'd just rather not.
