In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I always have thought that charging to change your name would be a great way to make some extra coin from the forums. You could also make a limit on how many times people can do it in a given time span.


I thought one name change every 6 months was good.

Or should it be longer?

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

I would accept this as a one time only chance. Pay and change your username. Hopefully it'll make people think real hard about their next username.

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

I have a better idea.

If a member isn't content with their username, they can submit a plea to urk to change it. However, he will decide on their new username.

And after that, there's no going back...

I <3 free stuff, and I <3 hate mail. It's hilarious. :D
And yeah, it would definitely give them a reason to stay a Mod. Unlike, you know, some people. That post above me.

Only Mods are cool enough to deserve name changes.
Plus the added perk will give them less incentive to back down.
I mean they get a boat load of hate mail as it is and rarely get much of a reward, although they get some nice free stuff it's usually off-set by the hate and/or the buttkissing they get on the forums.

I'd love a name change.

Because, when I first made an account here, I intended it to be Donut Fun. But I used the wrong e-mail, so I had to make another, so I tacked on another "n".

But by now, I'm sure "Donut Fun" is deleted, so I'd love to be able to change my name to it.

Sup bro? Heard you talking about me, thought I'd stop by and say hi.

I want feedback I can use to improve on future ideas and improve my future post quality so it can better make you and other members happy.

Do what new/bad artists do, photoshop.

It is far more entertaining and you have a wide variety of styles and options. :P

That's not flaming. That's me being honest with him.

If you want to know why, ken, it's because you want name changes to be an available feature for all members past 6 months, when even then, that's a pretty small quantity of time here on BNet.

When I first read your post, and I saw the number 2 continued with months old as a minimum, I immediately thought to myself, "Is this guy crazy or just trying to be funny?" I was thinking 2 years at least, not 2 months.

Id rather have a name change system for users that have been here for two or more years, not two months.

Okay then, 2 years sounds fair.

I will update the OP.

It's flaming. I could say "I think you're a -blam!- idiot!" and I could still be honest, how exactly is that a good argument to say it's not flaming?

  • 09.06.2011 4:29 PM PDT

I mean, you certainly don't have to listen to me. But I just believe 6 months is too short. I'm against the whole name changing thing in general, but I think 2 years would be a good minimum, primarily because if you wanted to change your name after you created your account and it's only been under a year or two, you could simply create a new BNet account and relink your GamerTag.

If it's been over 2 years or so, I could see why people would (most likely) want to keep their original BNet account.

"Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."

Get at me

This is a pretty complicated issue, even though it shouldn't be. I don't think that just anyone should be allowed to change their name, but I also don't like the zero tolerance rule that's in place. Special cases should be considered, but I'm not going to even begin to surmise what those cases might be.

Yeah, pretty much... As nice as it would be to have that option what other internet forum allows for someone to change their name? And on top of that, why would the webteam waste their time going through application after application?

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Not only would name changes in general start to cause problems, but the manner in which they were proposed by the OP is inefficient and doesn't make a lot of sense.

Personally, I don't think a name change is needed unless you change your GT.
