When i made my sylvari i knew very little about their lore, one of the main things is that they all have just one name (which makes sense as they have no family), but i made mine with 2 names, the problem is that i only noticed that after wasting 30 levels worth of crafting materials (because leveling an elementalist is terrible), and it would be a terrible waste to delete her and remake it.

And since we already have a cash shop in the game, would be pretty simple to make an item that changes the character name, i would gladly pay over 1000 gems for it.

yeah, I’m not sure why MMO’s never launch with character re-customization… it’s like a guaranteed sale for the rest of the life of the game. people always ask for it. & many people do it several times..

though 1000 gems.. no.

Champions Online has one of the best re-customizations options I have ever seen. Not only do the avatars look amazing for an older MMO, you have complete freedom to change your character once you created it, going to a stylist and paying in-game currency to have a new “outfit” designed. By outfit, I mean avatar really. You can change everything from muscle tone and size, to robotic limbs, wolf heads, no legs, heck even something as detailed as chest size, and as arbitrary as a hair style.

AND, you can have several “outfits” available to you. Once you purchase a new outfit, you can store it. I can’t remember exactly, but I think you can have up to five of these character skins which you could change to any time after you have bought them. And obviously, customize them as much as you like afterwards as well.

And since it is just a skin, it made virtually no difference to the game at all.

ON THE SAME NOTE: Weapons and armour skins. And not WHOLE package skins for armour. Individual pieces such as the stuff you can get in the Frozen North.
Transmuting is cool and all, but it always feels like a crime to me, transmuting one exotic set into another, just for a specific “look”. Culture armour is the worst of this. It is not exotic, so transmuting an exotic set into that skin really is the only option if you want to have the best “fordable” stuff. (And that is using the word fordable very painfully in this case.)

Here is the madness of it:

Exotic Armour
Rarity: Exotic
Level 80
Average price: 2.5 gold

Culture Armour
Rarity: Rare
Level 35, 60 and 80
Average price: 25 Gold

On which planet does this make any sense?

SURELY, if you can swing a potion back and change into a rabbit, then changing skins can’t be such a big deal.

1000 gems however… no. That is not realistic either. A lot of the games’ economists are less than well thought out. Please lets not add to that.
In game currency based on level, sure. But please, lets keep this in the sub-gold domain. Cost of changing crafts would be a good base-line for this.

1000 gems isn’t bad. The game shouldn’t charge you until you have confirmed the name change.

Recustomizing a character’s look? Definttely needs it. Especially since one could do it in GW1. Just not overly expensive gem shop crap again. Worst enough we have those useless chests.

I’d pay 1000 gems for full re-customization, but not a name change.

a 1000 gems, that’s about 10g atm. I’d say 500 gems would be a better price, but… still I really want this option. I didn’t know anything about how to make a character, and now I’ve already spent over 100g on my main. It really sucks that he looks… stupid. Have to wear helmets all the time, and only ones which cover everything.
People say the sylvari t3 heavy armor looks good, but it really doesn’t on mine.

That would be the best thing ever.. My norn is at level 45.. and his culture armor likes to show a lot of skin.
My armor is colored to a point where I am very content.. and the swirling red nipple tattoo’s.. just.. aren’t doing it for me, and I would love to at least CHANGE the color to match my ebony/black armor. I would pay up to 2000 gem’s for it, but 1000 or 500 gem’s is a perfect price for the service.

I really hope there is such service for re-customization for us to purchase… but i do not think it shld be at the same price as a character slot or bank slot etc. Half of the price will be reasonable in my view. or even cheap for renaming service.

If anet is kind enough, they could even give one-time free re-customization / renaming per account-wide. some sort of rewarding the players for their support? and after the one-time free, players have to pay for the services.

I think that will be fair enough for one time free re-customization / renaming as part of their appreciation to their customers.. given that when we create our character (especially the first character), we do not have the knowledge of lore, the design of armor and how do they look on each race etc.

Paying more than 800… may as well make a new character then. Still think it should not be too excessive. Could have it add up though. For example, changing 1 thing cost X, 2 will cost X+Y, etc.

I created a couple characters in a rush because I wanted to reserve the names for them. I would also gladly pay 1000 gems for full re-customization (sans race/profession, of course, since that is tied to Personal Story).

All’s fair in love and Wuv.

yup it will be great to see these services (naming change and re-customize) been put in but the problem is the cost of these services.
If anet value their customers, perhaps a good discount could be given for players who purchase these services for their first time. I believe all the players will greatly appreciate if thats the case

I don’t think 1000 gems is necessary, but I am all for a character recustomization item. I have found on one of my lvl 80 characters, that I probably should have gone with a slightly different body type. It is minor, but I would certainly pay to fix it.

I REALLY want this to happen as soon as possible. If they do decide to go the gem route, I think they should price it fairly low because they’ll get a lot more players willing to tweak their characters if it doesn’t break their banks, thus increasing revenue for the service.

This is a much needed thing. Simply put tho the reason it has not been put in place is if you tried to play on day 1 the character creator was overloading servers stopping people from making characters and even getting onto game! This will most likely be added later when character creation has slowed down and it is safe to put the system in! I would rather see it sooner then later!

Since the reserved names were released I’ve been dying to rename my ranger to the name I originally wanted for her… I wouldn’t mind doing some cosmetic changes too. I really don’t see any negatives to being allowed to do this. Especially since the party/friend/guild system relies on your account name and not your character name.

+1 after creating some chars i joined a WvW Guild IRON and using TS and wanting to play in different styles becomes a problem having different names, with not remembering who it is and what can be expected. Name change for Gems please

500 for name change
800 for gender change
800 for look change

A game that has a cash shop and doesn’t offer these common services is a cash shop falling short. But that is my opinion. I would definitly put down some gems for name changes.

I want name changing for sure. GW1 had it, along with completely character redesign. But does ANet care what we want? Seems to me they don’t monitor or reply to threads like these much.

Same. I would love to have this. Also a gender change. My ole’ lady loves her Mesmer, but she has been a bit busy with Real life sitiations, and she had not gotten on her mesmer in a good while. So if she quits I can make it a male and use it.

+1 to this and also things in the cash shop should be relatively affordable and inexpensive. By doing so, this gives added value to items that people purchase. People want good value for what purchase and if prices are too high then the value received from that purchase is dropped. The market value might be high but the received end game player value might be felt as low. In short they may feel cheated/ripped off for having to pay excessively for a product or service that should be standard and maybe with a minimum cost or even free at that. Prices should reflect the quality of the product rather than the necessity of the product, i’d say. Start with low prices and happier customers, then work up from there.
