You can change your username, just depends where you are.
Technically you can re-spec some of the more ingrained aspects of your character too but they come with heavy financial and social penalties.
Some even incur the "hunted" status in some servers, like changing "gender" or "religion."
Honestly it's a pretty bad game but they trick you into liking it by giving you access to things like "pets," "cookies," and "cosumable media".
Don't forget the drugs!
Ugghh, that's the worst. I want to change servers! This one sux.
The world really opens up after the tutorial.
Opens up? It's pretty much pure grind, level after level, unless you got very lucky with your class and skills, or got the "rich" trait at character creation.
Better go play a less bad game, like Diablo 4.
If enough people annoy the admins maybe we’ll have a chance to at least be able to reduce the necessary grind
Skilling used to be more balanced but now you hit the grind wall super early on, so pvp is kinda lame cause we're all at the mercy of the max guild accounts who got in before the rework and now just kinda push everyone around on some sort of weird power trip.
Clearly they don't have much going on for them in the real world...
I tried to change my username. Twice! But the amount of time and paperwork and legal hoops to get it done was ridiculous. Plus, the state I was living in at the time required that I justify my change with a court appearance, and the judge would decide whether my reasoning was justified. And I had 30 days to complete the whole process from start to finish or all my paperwork would be invalidated and I'd have to start all over again. Most appointments I needed had to be scheduled over a month out already! Some required 4-6 weeks to process paperwork and get back to me.
Another state I tried it in required I make a formal, public declaration in a newspaper or on a TV broadcast or something. I couldn't just change my username on legal records, I needed to document it publicly for the world to be involved in my business.
So I said "fuck that" and kept my current username. I just tell everyone to call me by my preferred username, as I've done all my life.
To be fair, nobody actually reads the "newspaper of record." It is generally not the big, famous paper for any given city, like one might assume.
Yep, noone reads those outside of the people who need to have an eye on it and probably the press, but nowadays these things get scraped and processed into some LLM, with the chance of immortalizing your name change in random hallucinations.
And people looking at passport renewals in the USA apparently.
Yeah, once you complete the tutorial, although it sometimes causes gameplay bugs later on.
Who is taking 3 years to unlock voicechat?!?! 1.5 yrs is where it's at
It makes it just so much harder when you spawned into a pvp zone.
