Any chance has there been talk of IDs being able to change players names? Figure the appearance change and name change would be ideal for a disguise, for the criminal elements.

First names are attached to tells and whatnot, and changing them could lead to griefing and harassment (for example, you ban X from your shop, he changes his name to Y, he can now enter your shop.) However, I don't foresee any problems with a last-name change (for RP purposes and whatnot) unless there are database/technical issues.

I think it's not only a Database-issue that disallows the change of names. The fact is that too many players would abuse this to grief others, then change their name and grief again... or they would use this 'feature' to imitate names of others as closely as possible and use them to dis'honor' those names and stuff like that... so beside the technical impossibility to change a characters name without deleting that char and creating a new one, the possible misuse alone forbids this feature.
What we hope to get some day is the ability to atleast change the familiy (2nd) name of characters, atleast underer certain circumstances like 2 Characters marrying or similar RP-stuff. But I currently don't have much hope their either... atleast not in the forseeable future.
