Changing the character name

Nov 05, 2011 tonda link
It would be nice if a player could change his/her nickname.

The change also should be limited to be done once e.g. in the next 14 days.

PS: If it is possible, I did not find it.

No.

tonda, try to talk to devs? Maybe they'll help to solve your problem.

No. Your reputation is tied to your name. Being able to change your name allows you to effectively reset your reputation without the penalty of having to start over.

It could be limited to people with no license above 3, so that if they just created their character and did the tutorial and then realize their name is not very appropriate or is so close to another name that it causes confusion, they could fix it.

Definitely no to allowing it in general though.

Erm, the devs have been happy to oblige name change requests in the past. Just submit a support ticket. Your stats are the same (which is the whole point, right?) so you are still identifiable.

This could actually be a good tool for smuggling... should we ever get a decent system for it. It could be like the fix your faction mission at Corvus.

The ability to change your IFF name has also been discussed and I think would be a prefered course of action (character info -K- would remain the same)

A permanent name change could also be allowed if it was limited and publicly announced - IE newspaper notice

At that sort of price it isn't an exploit.
