Username Change(?).

Post by Dave »

I had change my username two times and I'm thinking in a new change, I'm tired of this one and I just don't feel like using it anymore but I don't want to be bothering the adms when they have a life or more important things to do.

Maybe a new method to change your username?
Not something you can change everyday or constantly because would create confusing, problems and stuff but maybe once in the year you can change it by yourself?

Ideas, suggestions?

And please be respectful and let the sarcasm or bad wave out, thanks c:

Actually, from what I understand, Morg doesn't mind at all about changing usernames.

Though of course, I may be wrong.

On this other site, name is escaping me right now, they have an option where you can buy a name change. Over there it's for real money (i.e.; shards here) but I don't see why it couldn't be for gold.. just a thought.

Gold would work. Plus it has a 6 month cooldown too.

Instant freaking gold sink.

Thing is, I see it being abused via jerks making their names all sorts of obscene things. :haha: Of course I'm being negative.

I don't think that would be a huge problem... I'm on another site where people can freely change their usernames just about whenever they want, and there don't seem to be any huge issues.

Exactly my point. Especially if you make it a considerable amount (75k+, or even 100k+) for people like my dear Yuistan here that likes changing names often.

I really doubt it would be abused, but going off of that (and again, just a suggestion for thought) maybe have them be approved before changes are accepted. I mean, Morg does that anyway, but this way it would be more... automated so to speak. Click button, take gold, choose name, Morg accepts/denies, name either changes or it doesn't. If it doesn't you have to rinse and repeat with a more acceptable name.

I doubt it'll be abused. Like I said...6 month cooldown plus personalities don't change. XD

I imagine that if this was going to cost gold, the price should start rather low (say 10k) and increase the more you change your name. So relatively new people won't be deterred if they want their names changed but it doesn't encourage people to change their names every two weeks or so.

I do wonder if people are going to change their names into something obscene though, without admin approval. P:
