Changing Display Names

'''In a future update confirmed by Mod Duncan, players will have the ability to change their Display Name.

The basis of this new feature will be as such...'''

''-Your Display Name will default to your current account name; you don't have to choose a new one if you don't want to. This also means nobody else can take your account name as a display name, because it's already yours (until you change it, anyway). ''

''-Deleting 'inactive' names. This is aimed at accounts that were created years ago and never even logged in. If you can post on the forums, your name is safe. If you play the game, your name is safe.''

-Changed Display Names will be updated everywhere: the games, forum, hiscore etc.

-Your friends list will update when a friend changes their name, and also tell you what their old name was for a while.

''-If you change your name, your old name is held for some time (based on how long you had that name in the first place) before anyone else could take it. This time is long enough that you can change your mind and go back to it again if you decide you don't like your new name. We can't hold your old name indefinitely otherwise we'd reduce the number of names available, not increase it.''--Wombat90210 05:08, September 12, 2009 (UTC)Bold text
