On XUO it was to do the exact opposite; hide who you are and give you that chance at a new name without people knowing (until they figured it out of course). 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.
