Character name change questions

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Anyone know how much a character name change is from the Cryptic Store?

OR, what if I delete my current character, and start over? Can I use the same nick name I used before for the new character?

Thanks in advance for any help.

    dont get me started, paying for name change is rediculous. i pick my nickname but nowhere did it tell you that thatis how everyone in game addresses you. so i walk around and my whole crew addresses my as CPT bob rather than by my guys last name. it just bugs me

    I re-rolled for just that issue. After getting to level 10. Because I was Lt. First Name and it seemed too informal.

    Edit: To answer the OP's question: Renames will most likely be available in the store at some point, but no way to do it now.

    Me too... No one ever said they'd be addressing me as my nickname. It was "Scotty" to his friends, but he was properly called "Lt. Cmdr. Scott". In the same way it was "Geordi" to his friends and "Lt. Cmdr. La Forge" in proper address.

    Anyone know if you can delete the old character, and reroll with the name nickname?

    Yes, if you delete the character you can create a new character with the same name.

    They should let us all change our nickname ONCE for free.
    I also got confused the first time with that "Bones." thing under that edit box and now everyone calls me by my first name. There were no clear indications for new players as to how those texts will be used in game.

    I don't think it was OUR fault.

    so i tried this new rename token and well obviously it worked to change the short name. (The part before the @) But, now there is no way to change the full name of the character. It gives an error when you try. The error says there is no birdge officer with that name.

    Seriously, what the **** cryptic? Why can't you explain how something is suppose to work or make it work simply and intuititively.

    Am I the only one that has tried the name change token? Anyone else explain to me how to change the long name of the character as well?

    I got the same thing, and opened a GM Help ticket. The reply I got back said that it's a bug they're looking into, and they've gone ahead and converted the help ticket to a bug report for me.

    So great, I spent c-store credits just so I could get stuck with 2 completely different names for some undertermined period of time. Hooray! :p
