Does the faction change service allow you to rename your toon as well or is that only available if your current name is in use within the faction that you are transfering to?

I created a low level toon to reserve a new name for my character but now I'm not so sure that name changes are included by default.

Can a blue clarify this?

Q u o t e:
Will this service allow me to customize a character and select a different name once its faction has been changed?

Yes. Each Faction Change purchase will also provide the target character with an included re-customization and optional name change.

Nothing wrong with a little harmless hostility.
And the content of the post outweighs the manner in which it is presented, in my opinion.


Not in mine. :)

While I do not disagree that your posts possess merit, please do not attempt to belittle or defame those to whom you are speaking within this forum. It's not appropriate and I believe you've certainly the ability to present your points without such statements.

This request applies to all players who are posting herein, as well. Civil banter can be very healthy, as it gets the brain juices a-flowing; however, deviations into ad hominem just makes arguments circular. Respecting someone's opinion and disagreeing with it are not mutually exclusive concepts.

I can certainly understand where you are coming from.

Unfortunately, the only way to see something like this implemented is to post a suggestion in the suggestion forum.

I'm not trying to be rude, but the most effective way to see changes brought about is to put your thoughts in the one place that the game/website/policy developers look. At this time, that is in the suggestions forum. They will not respond to your post, but they will read it.


I can corroborate this statement. While you are certainly not obligated to post within our Suggestions Forum, Phìlosopher, it is the most direct route to our development and design staff—those with purview over matters being discussed within this thread. Our Faction Change service is new and so we are very open to player feedback. If you would sincerely like to see our "Things to know before you begin" page updated to include more information, drop a line; our developers and designers are listening. :)
