Fixing names on wizard spellbooks
Posted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 8:23 pm
I ran into something frustrating recently, and have also done so in the past, when the very perfect name you've picked out for your wizard is found unacceptable for one reason or another, and suddenly your name doesn't match with your spell book's cover. What I would like to see is the ability to change the name on your spellbook. When the two don't match, it can look odd, or be awkward when it comes up in conversation! It could be seen as stolen goods, or be thought of as the wrong name. I think the easiest way for this to work is to have the wizard mob in the starting zones be able to know if you've had to go through a name-change (through qbits, perhaps), and offer to 'fix' your book for you. This way there doesn't have to be any Imm hassle with it (aside from setting up the fix) and social awkwardness is averted!
This is one of my old vexations, which I haven't had to deal with for a while since I don't play that many wizards. But it would mean a fantastic change, and certainly less naming anxiety when it comes to our arcane-loving counterparts.
