Name change: Confirmed.

[Gospel Gestalt]

Today, Hvinire on the Official forums made a post finally confirming that we will indeed be able to change our character name at the launch of ARR along with a few other things.

Hvinire:

 

"I know confirmation has been a long time coming on this one, and we're glad to finally detail how this will work! When you log into A Realm Reborn for the first time with your old character (specifically after phase 4), you will have the ability to redo any aspect of your character -- one time only. This includes the ability to change your name.

 

Everyone's getting a second chance at a first impression!"

This makes me super-happy!  :bouncy:

[Kylin]

Thank the Twelve. Would have been super awkward to keep running around as "Kylin Mavanix" when his last name is technically Felstar :blush:

[Vareal]

Well that makes me happy. I don't have to loose my Goobbue mount! :bouncy:

[Rhio]

It doesn't affect Rhio, but I'm glad to see it.

The use of 'any aspect' would lead me to assume that means race sex visual details name and deity.  This is good news.

This is cool, I came up with a nice visual appearance for my character back at launch, but I certainly won't turn down a free 1time shot at possibly making some tweaks to em and maybe a slight tweak to the name.

 

Note: Forgot that when the forums got hit my post was lost lol
