We implemented a new version of name changing on our server which is much easier for us and hopefully this means they will be done much more frequently than before.
Advantages:
- characters will be inviteable after a name change (sorry the old renamed ones will remain 'uninviteable')
- namechanges will be done for free - NCCs no longer necessary
- they can be done on a running server - if the player is logged in, he/she will only be kicked in the process
But we have to also restrict posting name changing requests...
RULES for posting name change requests:
1) Name changes are for FREE (no NCCs are needed any more)
2) Your post has to include ONLY this: "rename <old_name> <new_name>", nothing else. (e.g.: rename imthekiller [ABC]Escort.1)
3) 1 line for 1 request, you can include more requests in 1 post.
4) No spaces at the beginning nor in the end!
5) New name must have MAXIMUM 23 characters!
6) Give no explanations of the reason of name change and don't comments others!
7) Don't abuse the new free system of name changes, stick to you RP and don't overload admins!
8) Once your character is renamed, the request is deleted.
9) Mention if your character has been renamed before using the old character renaming method.
