...at least, as the petition in the DM. Basically to prevent from changing the name too often or for weird reasons.
Yormungandr, gurbibal master, drunken hunter, the thief of Constantinopol, he who never died of man`s hand, son of Severin, grandson of Yozz, Yozzik, Wengdalf. Also an owl who's watching.

P.S. More nice hats please!

Bad idea. Village names should be permanent.

It makes no sense for villages to just change name out of nowhere. If you really feel like something huge happened and the name needs to be changed, it makes sense that you have to rebuild the idol.
I'd argue that it would be helpful to be able to re-claim banners and such if the original idol has been destroyed.

Name changing would just become a way to confuse players.

What if we made a error in village name or we get bored about it? How can we defend our village while vclaim reactivating?

What confusion are you talking about? Village names are virtual thing, its doesnt effect anything physical.

Just be more careful when you write your village name. It's a one time thing, and takes only a few seconds. Just check your spelling.

While names don't change the physical appearance of a village, they are still the main information recorded by people.
Knowing a village is always called the same allows you to use it in conversation. "I'm from X Village" will always mean the same place. In 3 weeks, 3 months or 3 years, (unless the village gets destroyed / abandoned) the X Village will still be the same.
When I trade, I use villages as landmarks. "Let's meet by the lake north of Village X". When I socialise, I use villages to group kins. You'll become "avros008 (Village X)" and he'll become "Vigilance (Village X)" if you both are from the same village. If you could change name, I would maybe have you from village X and vigilance from Z because I didn't know the name has been changed.
Even for intel it's good to have the same names. I know Village X is at war with Village Z and Village Y, while it's allied with Village W.

Nobody wants to keep track of every village name change. Letting it change would just bring chaos and make informations become obsolete faster (which is why I also don't like that u can change your name in game whenever u want).

Maybe that's how you do it. I've seen enough posts from various players, plus the villages I've been a part of. that's not how it's generally done.

This game is full of comedians. I'll just leave it at that.

So you remember places by their coordinates and not by their names? Good for you I guess...
