Name change

[MattReaver]

Name change should be allowed just not frequent. Not sure why there's a problem with this. If the argument is to prevent the game from going to real money fees for services outside of the subscription then be more specific. I would rather not pay money and make it cost GC seals or a bunch of Gil. The gil option is my preferred method as I'm a fan of low inflation and no cash shop.

At the bare minimum one name change should be allowed.

If the Cash Shop doesn't effect the game in anyway or make a person have more of an advantage, why does it matter? Surely, a person paying for a name change if he chose is a service and optional. Cash shop is ok as long as it Server Transfer, Name Change, Fantasia Potion, etc.

Yes to name change with a cool down and retaining the blacklist status.

maybe the lack of a name change feature will get some of you to put a little more thought into your names. Those two word phrases that seem so clever when you first make them are usually regretted not long after, particularly when NPCs call you by only your first or last name.

I could not disagree more. I wish to Change to a male from a female character and my name is by no means outlandish or silly. Why should I need to be stuck with the female name because some people have fun names? You want to limit every one based on a few people's actions. That is wrong and senseless.

Do we have to have 2 names for our toons? First name + last name? Any way to have just one?

Yes you have to have a first and last name. No way to have only one. Also, they're characters, not toons. This isn't a cartoony game.

Name changes probably should have been included with the fantasias that were given out, but i don't think they should be available separately from that. Obviously if you change gender you should be able to make a name change *at the same time*, you can't really expect people to only come up with unisex names.

If there is no weight given to decisions, it causes more people to make stupid ones. People should not be able to change names on a whim. The same reasons you can't do that in real life are the same reasons why you shouldn't be able to in the game. There must be a lengthy cooldown and cost associated with it. I don't want to see a revolving door of name changes, it will only contribute to making the community more toxic. That said, I accept there are specific circumstances when a name change is absolutely necessary (as in your case).

I would be ok with just having a one-time name change with the fantasia potion!

I... agree with this =)

Name change are needed because of Fantasia Potion allow you to change Race and Gender. Either don't have this in the Fantasia Potion or have a name change come with it. Does not make any sense. Seeing how limited they are giving out Fantasia Potion and so rared, I don't think it would be that big of a deal to change your name.

That's exactly how I feel about it. The fact you can change your gender but not your name along with it is just a terrible idea. Either take off the gender change option or add in the name change. It's that simple.
