I must admit that I cannot understand why anyone would take a name that has potential for embarrassment but there still are significant number of parents who give their children embarrassing names and they are supposedly rational adults.

When that does happen the individual can, upon reaching adulthood, legally change their name. Frankly, I cannot understand why HCS wouldn't allow a similar option with associated cost with thei game :)


Because someone could have done something really upsetting towards others and get away with it by changing name

Ah... you beat me to it, Maximus

Scenario- Someone goes around hopping from guild to guild, stealing gear. Selling it off then using a small chunk of those profits is no bother as it took no effort to acquire it anyway, so no loss can be had for them then.

Which is why, on everyone's profile, there should be a section calls "formerly known as..." with all of their former names in their. They should also be searchable by former names.

That would be too much coding for nothing...
If u don't like ur original name, ask urself why u chose it, and live with it!

Hi there.

We have said many times that this is an impractical feature. We will not be offering it.
