    I am NOT surprised.

    Name change isn't 'Perfect', at all.

    My Archer, rolled during a short period in 2009, had a digit in her display name. Digits aren't allowed in names now. I sent in a ticket, requesting a name change, to remove the digit. Since my Veno has the same exact name without the digit, I went for a different name. It got approved.

    HOWEVER, and here is one reason why name change stones aren't in the Boutique for 30 gold (and on sale for 5 gold once a week): In faction chat, my original name shows up half the time, my new name shows up half the time. Same in normal chat. If you send an invite to my original name, it never works. You have to invite the new name. It only shows the new name in whisper and squad chat.

    And the second reason, it would encourage scamming. "JKLJKLJKLJKL just scammed me for 23432616262453535643272543535324 Big Notes! b:angry b:angry b:angry KILL HIM!" Wait, but JKLJKLJKLJKL just renamed himself to UIOUIOUIOUIOUIO, and you have no way of knowing... So, gooooooood luck with that.

    Fully agreed on your second reason... It would be too easy to change name and appearance after doing evil deeds. Only some advanced investigation (characters, account...) would work, maybe.

    Anyway, in that kind of case, people are warned beforehand that sharing personal info is not allowed/surely not encouraged at all and that trading should be made with lots of caution. Ah well.

    - Fix the damn bugs, dammit! I'm so angry! I'll quit!!
    - New codes out there? I like free stuff~ *wink*
    - When will we get new content? QQ
    - Will we get sales? I got a ton of gold to spend.
    - I'm bored, I'll create a useless thread to annoy Opkorock.
    - *Incessant poking on Sweetiebot* Fun~

    It IS possible but the GM's have to do it and it is VERY VERY Rare. I have seen it done but it is usually because the 1st name was the result of QQ from other people and ticket's were logged = Solution was a temp ban, then unbanned and submission of a few new names, then the name was changed in-game b:chuckle

    Yeah, would be just like a Veno pet. Barb would follow you around, and tank your mobs/bosses for you. Best if you used the Barb on your cleric, and vise versa.
