Allow Full Name Changes (Please!!)

  I think full name changes should be allowed, but only if they are serious. Hell I'd pay 20k, even 30k to change my damn name entirely. I recently started a (new) clan to keep my members still interested in cRPG, and my current name has nothing to do with it. I am extremely distraught as I've already wasted untold money on name changing attempts. I've played cRPG for approximately 900 hours, and still have faith in it. Please at least consider giving the option of allowing my in-game name to be changed.. I don't care the cost.

It is extremely strict. Name changes were forbidden due to the reason of "you have to keep your reputation," but it really is a deadset "no" to anything that is not a clan tag or a typo.

I wanted to name change one of my characters from Akilina to Tears_of_Akilina to fall in line with the rest of my characters. This both keeps the reputation of the original character due to keeping Akilina, and adds the reputation of Me due to the "Tears" signature that most people know me by on NA with my other characters or on the forums. However, this too was denied after talking about it in irc.

Basically, nothing is acceptable if it is not a typo or a clan tag addition/removal. It is nice though that it tells you this upfront in the rules, so at least you know what to expect, which is nice and fair.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

I can understand what you're saying if this was someone like Balton who carried a bad reputation, but an old cRPG veteran? I don't have much of any sort of reputation. Thanks anyway.. Was worth a shot. :(
I'm going to keep trying to get a name change anyway in hopes that some day I will get it approved through sheer pity.

Hmm..sounds like I got lucky then? But yeah, Rogue, it's worth a shot to go into the IRC and ask a name changer what they would let slide.

I agree, full name changes should be allowed once every extended time period.
So with PT >10 stones become simple too effective
