I somehow sent one in while I was playing with it... this is not the username I wanted. Am I stuck til 180 days has passed?


I'm not really sure how you accidentally changed it lol. You have to type it in, then confirm it by re-typing it, then put in your proper date of birth, and then confirm it all. =P

Send me a PM about it and I will see what I can do.

There wouldn't happen to be any way in the world that a person's previous name could show up for like a week or something under someone's new name would there? Like on the forums or their profile or something? I find myself seeing a possible friend in the forums but I'm not 100% sure who they are. Maybe if the person's trying to really get away from their old name, the ability for the previous name to show up below kinda grayed out could be optional or something.

There's a disclaimer on the change page saying previous Usernames will eventually display on one's profile page so that definitely is the plan.

I was planning on waiting until profile page redesign, but there's been a lot of name changes so far so I might just smoosh that information into the existing profile pages. Especially since I keep finding myself looking the information up already which is more than enough of a reason to implement it now. =P

I do not want players thinking they can take advantage of the system to dodge a reputation (not that I necessarily think people are trying to do that atm) in addition to all the other issues/confusion name changes cause. So that is 100% going to be displayed.

Hmm, it says that you can request to permanently change your username but it also says must have been at least 180 days since last username change. Does this mean that we can change our username more than once or am I misinterpreting?

You can change it once every 180 days.

Once changed, the change is permanent unless you opt to change it again when it comes off cooldown.
