Support will change names for you if you email them: support@grindinggear.com :-)
Great one! was about time :D

I do agree that chat should be account-name based. I'd like to know when I'm talking that MyBadassSummoner is the same person as JoeDirt.

Guild invites should be account based as well, it drives me insane that I have to have a character name to invite someone to my guild.

This, so much this. I can't count how many times I get mixed up with names in trade that often end up in a sour buyer or ruin the trade completely.

Either way, thanks ggg!

Can't wait to get my old name 'Athene' back!
While I'm sure your naming that character after the Greek goddess, you do realise it's now forever associated with a certain Razer sponsored Belgian Youtuber right?

Best announcement I have seen in a long time. I love the way you guys are handling it as a whole. Allows active players to get the names they want, without punishing people that may or may not come back. I really like it.

Edit: I would like to say that I would NOT want my chat to be account name based. I want my character names to have meaning beyond the fact that I can see them. If I wanted my account name then I would have a char named after it and stick to it. I personally would not like that option
I guess I will have to buy a one way ticket to hell with your lives

This honestly makes me happier than it probably should.

Best day ever!

Rip PoE's one mini game. As I've always said: "PoE is a game of strategy, strategically making powerful builds, strategically gaining currency, and strategically thinking of names that haven't been taken." Now maybe it will only be a game of strategy in two ways, because c'mon, the naming process really was a whole mini game :P
