This issue has come up a number of times, with the OP always operating under the same assumption that getting a character renamed is just handed out willy nilly by GMs enthusiastic to help you transition your newly purchased 50 Mage. Has anyone ever bothered to find out if that's how it actually works? If anyone that's actually successfully filed a petition for a voluntary name change (NOT a case where your name was offensive/reported) and had it done can chime in.
Until then, I can say that personally, I've put in name change for my Shaman to something as innocuous as an "h" added to the end of his name like 3-4 months ago and nothing happened. I'm pretty sure that nobody is going to change your name at the drop of a hat like you guys make it sound. As far as I know, name change request petitions are almost never granted without a compelling reason (i.e. your name was reported and a GM comes in and changes your name). If anyone has any other experiences, please prove me wrong.
