i know it can be done , even an old game like ultima online has it, its not a question about each char being tracked by a name they have an id numberfor that. it not about preventing griefing . i dont believe that for an answer. names can be changed and you track the character # and youd have records of a name change so whats the deal. i would love to change my name to the one my r/l wife has . if something has old has ultima online can do it why can secondlife if the name is untaken? i would pay for it. i know i am not the only person who feels this way. people bought too much on avis and some made bad choices and want to get away from there mistakes too i bet.
imagine the money lindens could make for charging 5 to 10 dollars a change.
post a yes if you would like to see name changing allowed
ya figures no real answer to this
