Well if namechanges are allowed it will be a one-time use per char, it will cost a lot and it will be displayed publically on the website.
Which means it could only be used by players who just don't like their name. And I think very few (if any) would go ahead and do this namechange with these conditions.

Damn.. Very strict on it I guess.
Irl murderers always try to hide their identity.. so maybe could be less strict for murders?

No life is complicated only if you make it to be

Irl murderers also go to prison for 25 years to life once they are caught. Shall we add that too? Oh and until you are caught we could plaster your picture up everywhere and inform all authorities of your crimes. That way when guards are called on you they would toss you in a cell instead of merely attacking you.:p
Truthfully, lesser criminals and everyday people have better luck with aliases and name changes being secretive.

The Idea to have a name change is to change if you dont like your name and not for hide who you are.
Also is pretty hard hide who you really are even with a name change. Sooner or Later someone will discover.

It was great to enter a tour looking like some noob player and then killing a good player and making everyone laugh at the good player for a bit. This happened a lot on XUO and it worked as a good gold sink to take money out of the world.
On IN name changes were completely forbidden. This is the reason that it may be allowed under the circumstances mentioned, its the middle ground of two extremes I think.
I understand on IN they were forbidden and that's why they weren't added at the start of INX, and that's why I suggested the staff have a list of all name changes done to keep tabs on it.

i was about to suggest the same thing as taran before i read it. i mean many ppl don't like their names, and i thought we were supposed to have "normal" names or whatever u wanna call it, not stupid names like iPwn-w00t etc.. so a one-time namechange would be perfect so that u have to think of the perfect name fit for u, cause u will get stuck to it.
