Would it be too difficult to allow us to change our wizards names?

I hate my Death Wizard's name...would love to change it!

thoughts??

There are so many threads on this that I think it is really time for KingsIsle to take this into consideration.

You cannot at this time. This has been a popular idea over the past year, with plenty of threads on it.

My best advice is to just make another wizard and/or hold onto yours to see if they will eventually make name-changing into a feature.

Best of luck!

they should give a 1 chance name change so you can atleast change it once

I go for this idea but there may be a problem with it. If you change your name, you may loss everything you accomplished include those on you're friends list because what if all the data is recorded to your wizard's name. Perhaps KI can do this without any loss to you. Idk.

The only complication with this would be causing confusion with your friends.

Good response and about as close as anyone has gotten to why name changes aren't allowed once the wizard is created.

Everything that wizard does is tied to the name it was created with. Changing the name could cause a lot of things to be lost including quests completed, items that wizard has acquired throughout the game, and possibly the complete loss of the that wizard since the data would not match a new name.

Can you imagine what KI staff would be up against if massive numbers of players decided to change the name of even one of their wizards?

The only way is to delete and start a new wizard.

If man can put people on the moon, man can also change names on a video game :)

That's not how MMOs work.
