Name change

[Sixmp]

Pardon me, where did I claim not to care?

I don't like people being able to change their name for many reasons. It makes it easier to escape a bad past and/or escape with the money/loot after screwing your LS or company over (e.g. take the loot and run). Yes, with name changes reflecting on people's black and friend lists it's not as easy, but it's certainly still poss yadda yadda

.

I am totally glad you are not in charge. Must be nice to sit up their on your high horse passing judgement on other people. While i can see some of your dislike for name changing you seem getting a little bit above your station in life.

Saying NO to name changes because of bad people wanting clean slates is stupid. If someone wants to start over with good or bad intentions that's there choice.

Too bad allowing paid name changes wouldn't be an extra source of income to design new content and such with. Oh, right...

Oh you and your logic

Sex changing should have never been included with fantasia.

I said NO on name changes because, people really should think what they want to be / called by for the duration of their game. I don't mind a once or twice time change mind you it be lengthy on the cooldown (3-5months) This may be a fantasy game but it's also a world/community. I'd rather not have my friends/enemies switching races genders all the time.

Like others stated name change would be fine if foul players that you've blisted stay blisted. Also an option to see previous name would be great

Still no response. Come on SE !!

"Yea! Screw people that get tired of things in a game that play for fun after several years! They should have known that they might get tired of something after 5 years regardless of things that might have changed between now and then! What do these people think this is, real life? No way to change your gender or name in real life or anything."

Honestly this line of thinking just seems so selfish to me. You say you don't what your friends to be swapping names or genders... but if they want to, if it will help them have more fun in a game they play for fun, and it doesn't hurt anyone, why would you say no to that? Just because it would take you a bit to get used to it? But maybe I'm just missing something in all this.

That ship, however, has sailed.

I think my icon should be updated today showing the hilarious lore mismatch between my (lore fitted) name for my old race/gender and my new one. Sure, maybe I should have played the races more in beta to decide sooner, but I was in the hospital. Why a name change was not included w/fantasia I can not fathom.

Cool down is not a bad idea, and I hope both players can still find me if I get a new name, and that my blacklist gets the updated named of players I want to avoid.

I have a ticket that is almost 5 weeks old requesting a name change. It was escalated to GM after first week. I called SE support and they said I'm still in a queue.

I filed a ticket, and they straight up declined it within 3 days. Here, I'll save you the time and hassle.

Edit - I even told them I have an unused fantasia potion and would use it if i could change the name. I'm saving it in case they allow this at a later date.
