They would, wouldn't they?
Honestly don't think they think everything completely over before they do it...

Yeah, exactly. And the scammers thing.
But if people were more careful with in-trade trades, there'd be no scams.
Of course, problems will arise from this, but it's useful for whoever actually does want to change his or her name.

I dont believe it's a shame thing for those previously scammed, rather for the scammer to be able to spread his devious name all over the world and when it gets too hard to scam because everyone knows your name, you can just go ahead and change it to scam once again.

I'm not really worried about scammers, but more just that I will have no idea who is who if people really do change their names. (and their appearances too) Kinda loses the feeling of community for me.

In my opinion, people who QQ about being scammed while buying/selling NX can QQ more.
I just hate the fact that players think it's okay to purchase NX like that; it's unfair for a lot of people like me who can't get money in game that readily.
Nonetheless, I like this idea; I've wanted to change my name into something Japanese-ish.
If this was released with Dragons in G13, I think the name changing card would be higher up in terms of priority =P

If you chose a name that you're unhappy with [...] that's your mistake.
People don't intentionally choose names they're unhappy with. Sometimes you like a name when you first create your character, but later you find out it isn't as great as you once thought or you come up with something better that you'd like to be called. Opinions and identities can change over time. I don't see how that's a "mistake" for which people should permanently be punished.
As for the deal with scammers, NX trading isn't supposed to be done in the first place. You should be well aware of the risks you're taking if you choose to engage in such an activity. However, if there really is a name history option, I don't think the issue would be quite as bad as everyone is making it out to be (nonexistent if people didn't buy NX with gold in the first place, or if there was a secure method of doing so as in MapleStory, but alas...). Same thing would apply in the case of your friends who change their names. I do feel that 5 times in 3 months is a bit much, though. It should be more like once every 3 months.
As for me, I might actually play my human again if these cards were implemented here.

The current director of Mabinogi (Moon was it?) is very traditional. Name change and classes.
Can't say I disapprove of this update. Especially since you can't use the same name for a month.

This update doesn't affect me.
I agree with the scams part.
All for this. Why not?

It is a very good implementation as long as they have a name change history (excellent idea in my opinion).
