Is it possible to change a character name, and if so, how does one do that?

Thanks in advance.

Your best bet is to send a very polite email off to a1k0n@guildsoftware.com and explain your situation to Andy (aka a1k0n)

Heh. I didn't even realize that a1k0n@guildsoftware.com works. But it apparently does!
