No, pretty much the other way around.

Name change requests are for changing from bad names to good names. They are not for changing names for your own convenience, because you no longer like the old name, or because you want to change the name for your character's RP.

Until and unless Tom changes the policy, they are solely for ensuring that people have an option for getting rid of stupid names like "DragonRider xXxNinjaKillerzxXx". (Or, y'know, less extremely stupid, but still stupid ;D )

Er, doesn't emigrating basically force you to change your character's name if someone on the destination island is already using it? Or does it just block you from emigrating altogether? I thought it just made you change the character name. Then again, this could just be one of those times where I got some idea in my head about how things work that isn't accurate...

Seems kind of harsh to completely block a character from going somewhere... He could delete the character, but then he has to wait two weeks before he can go to BT. IMO you should be able to change your character's name during emigration if someone at the destination is already using it...

You are blocked from emigrating to that island if the name is already in use.

So I can't emmigrate this character. My other characters are well established, so I need to delete this char. I create a new one with different name, wait for 2 weeks, try emmigrating, and again see "Sorry, there is another character on that island with the same name." The process continues. Can you see how frustating that is to a player.

Just stay alive and kicking, raise your voice when its needed. Through reason you can show the mistakes of others, something violence can't do.

I don't break rules, I bend them- a lot.

Use uncommon names then. And switching out a few consonants with similar sounding letters will still leave you with a Medieval-ish name that's probably unique. "Sir Bob" and "Sir Edward" are probably taken. "Sir Job" and "Sir Ydwerd" are probably not taken yet.

Addendum: Or add a middle name. "Sir Bob Edward <family name>" is probably not taken.

Just pause the old character. Some of us can also check  if your new character's name is already in use.

Maybe after the city is taken, so they can actually transfer bonds...

The lordship is a payment in itself.

No poaching our new arrivals!

Besides, there is the little matter of having Darkest Hour of the South blocking the route between Enweil and Riombara....

Ehndras is broke so I only managed to recruit 20 archers and am converging with the army now to combat Darkest Hour of the South. I wanted to buy a nice, big cav unit but I seem to have forgotten that I lose my entire unit when I emigrate. >_>
