ArcheAge offers name change service, postpones name reset

If you’re sick of your character’s name in ArcheAge yet have too much time on that toon to consider rerolling, you now have a way out of this terrible predicament. Starting yesterday, players can use a name change service to swap out “xXLordDeathStrikeXx” for something a little more awesome.

The name change service isn’t free, of course; players will be charged 1,400 credits to use it. There’s also one more condition attached: You can only change your name once every 30 days.

Trion Worlds did notify players that it won’t be releasing long-dormant names until later this month: “The team continues to work to make sure that everything is in place for the name reset to be performed. Some of these final changes require a major update to be performed on the game (as the in-game name change prompt needs some updated text) and so we’ll be releasing the name reset along with Update 2.9 on May 31st.”
