As of right now you really don't have any options. If the group name is offensive you could end up with a "Generic SG 12455121" and the option to rename it but other than that I don't know of any way.

Unfortunately, you really have no options. SG Rename Tokens have been on the wishlist for years, so maybe in the future, but not as of yet.

Get a friend to create a web comic that features that group's name. Then you should be able to petition for a genericing and rename because it suddenly infringes on someone else's imaginary property. Why not? It works for the "big boys". (evil grin)

2. Disband the SG and start over from scratch with a name you like.
3. Keep the SG and hope the devs eventually allow us to rename SG's

i know of at least one group of SGs that apparently were able to get themselves renamed after the founder left the game. (The SGs didn't like him very much after the way he left, but apparently didn't want to disband completely.) i don't know how they did it, but i would guess sending in a petition or contacting support was part of the process.

I've heard rumors that such a thing was possible via petition but no one that mentioned it to me ever actually had first hand knowledge it was actually possible so I haven't put much faith in the stories, thus didn't mention it.

i have secondhand knowledge in that after running into a bunch of characters who all had SG names similar in format to the old group of SGs and having seen none of the original SGs in some weeks i asked a member and he told me that they used to be the old SGs and had the SG names changed.|

So instead of being (not real name) Renowned Zeroes Gamma they were now (also not real name) Hearty Zeroes Gamma Goblins.
Sadly, i didn't ask how it was done.

I can almost understand why the Devs never gave us a "rename SG" feature before they gave us the red-star Super Leader rank because there was no single person "in charge" so to speak. Without a single top leader in charge there could be bickering about who had the overall authority to rename a SG.
But now that SGs are forced to have one single person be the top leader it should be pretty straightforward to allow the Super Leaders the ability to rename a SG. In fact I actually kind of assumed one of the main reasons the Devs gave us the Super Leader rank in the first place was to make things like SG renames possible. Why it hasn't happened yet almost seems weird to me. *shrugs*

Yeah, I would really like a SG rename token, as I'm one of the few people left in an old RPVG which sort of has a crap reputation due to the shenanigans of old members who left the game more than a year ago. We've got tons of Prestige and a great base and amenities I don't want to abandon. But as often as not when recruiting, the ghost of those old leaders/members still makes people wary of the VG.
Long story short, we could really use a fresh start.

I had suspected that there was basically no option there, oh well, thanks to all who have replied.
