I think that it'd help people's peace of mind with having the identity and username that they want.But that's just it, many people won't have that peace of mind. No offense but ever since this was posted, I know a lot of people that are disappointed that they won't ever have the tag on bnet that they want. The username I want is unfortunately taken and no one will ever be able to have that name. My only option is to figure out who owns that account, contact him and have him change the name so I can have it. The odds of that happening is 0.
There are tons of "dead" accounts like this and people that are actually active won't be able to have those names. With your idea, I would be able to remove "031" and end up with "spawn", but that's already taken so that won't work. Have a full fledge name change option (Like Xbox Live) is the best idea IMO.Clearly lots of people won't get what they want out of the situation, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work for some.
Yes, MURDUR, I know. "Clearly you're just making more excuses so that this system can be implemented for you." But you can find flaws like that in any plan.
Notifications: Some people (like evilcam I think it was) dislike notifications and would get annoyed by them.
Friends List: Some people don't want this place to get too social because it's only a game developers website for their fans and they don't want to make friends here.
Instant Messaging: Too much like Facebook (for some people).
Custom Avatars: Ruins the special-ness of Ninjas and Employees having them and possibility for abuse.
While this downside for this suggestion actually affects which users would use the feature, that doesn't mean that the feature still isn't valid.
Side Note: Are usernames case sensitive? In other words, could I make an account named "SpAwN031" right now if I wanted to?
