Part of me thinks that selling chars should be allowed, but name changes should be disallowed. I think thats the best option, because like stated above, on classic you couldn't simply /petition and have your name changed. Your name was who you were, and people would know whether to group with you or train you. IMO if you want to buy a char you should have to stick with the name it has. Also you should not be able to change your first name, because your reputation should stick with you for the entirety of your play. This is a very social/community based game and simply changing your name can really effect that.

That being said, I really don't care that much whether they disallow or allow any of this. I don't find myself in Kedge saying, man I wish people weren't changing their names right now. So, whatever happens is fine with me, but personally I think name changes shouldn't be allowed.
