World Transfer to Force Name Change?

[Cota Orben]

Hey guys, 

 

As the title suggests... I'm currently unhappy with the name of my main character. He used to be a Plainsfolk Lalafell, I recently made him a Dunesfolk and, of course, they have different naming conventions. Now, I was wondering if there would be sufficient stability in simply shelling out the 50$ to transfer to another world, force a name change, then transfer back. 

 

Not stability in servers, necessarily, as I'm sure I can just find some time when Balmung is open up again to transfer back in, but stability in items. I'm just really worried that I'll lose some of the Goldsmithing gear that is currently sitting nice and snug in my inventory. I know the game will take off some of my gil if it reaches a certain cap, but nothing about items in my inventory or storage. 

 

Any help on this matter would be appreciated, or any links to -any- rumblings that name changes are coming soon.

Regardless - thank you!

 

I can't wait for that, and for the extra Fantasia phial (or three) as well. Because there are just so many things to change (Not having weird brown-purple hair for one thing). 

 

It's good to know that they're doing this. I guess until they do, Annin Rapnin can be my Dunesfolk's alias or something.

Purely for information, this transfer away and back scheme would most certainly work if you timed it with a friend who would roll a character with the exact name you had, so when you transfer back a character with the same name is found, thus forcing a name change on the "new" arrival.

This is how it worked in other mmo's.

Of course Namingway cards would make this pointless.
