Guild Wars 2

Ever since the reserved names were released I’ve been waiting for some kind of item to change my character’s name to the one I wanted to begin with. Every single update, every new build, every tiny bit of maintenance I check the gem store, or the twitter feed to see if something has been implemented.

Perhaps I missed a suggestion topic where it was confirmed that they are going to do this but I really really dislike being left in the dark and I think this is something that shouldn’t be ignored.

Normally I wouldn’t have an issue with this but since I couldn’t use the name I wanted right off the bat and I had to wait for it to be released I think this system should have been implemented that very day, but it wasn’t. Now there are items that allow you to change your character’s gender but still no way to change your character’s name.

I seriously don’t understand why this is so difficult to do. If your character has an offensive name you’re forced to change it with no problems regarding soulbound equipment and everything social is done with your account name and not your character name.

I can’t possibly be the only person who is frustrated with this…

i agree, and also a face change station.

There already is an item that you can use to change your face.

I agree also. It’s a easy to add and simple solution for many players with character naming frustrations.

They should give everyone a free name-change when they finally release it into the gem store.

For one character, not all characters. So frustrated users don’t need to waste any money on their main, and to give us all a taste. :P

I, too, have been less-than-patiently awaiting the release of the name changing system. They are, indeed, working on one. I spoke to a GM about it already.

Check the Trading Post for an item called “Name Change Contract.” It’s already a dummy-item within the game files. I suspect the finer details have yet to be worked out to make this item functional, but it IS in the works. It’s all a matter of when.

And the GM I spoke with couldn’t tell me when they planned on releasing it either… :/

Ah… That’s a relief to have a confirmation. Thank you so much!
