It's an interesting idea. If you look at what Jagex has already done, a big example, it's a full blown RPG that is done in a flash player. I don't think the idea of them creating a way to change your username is that far fetched. Also, as for everyone that keeps saying "It would ruin the 'block' sytem." If you really stopped to think about it, you would be able to see that this would be easy to stop. Many people have already posted idea's about how to stop this from happening. One thing that I noticed was not addressed was how you would know your friend has changed his username. I can see two sulutions to this problem. The first is simple. Example2: Hey, this is Example1 I changed my username. Me: Ah, was wondering who that was. It be the same as when your friend changed accounts alltogeather (I'm sure that's happened to a great deal of people) But, there is another sulution that would be more imidiate. Say your one of those people who regularly go through their friends list, and people they don't talk to anymore or don't remember they delete (like me). Well, you might delete your friend before they can tell you who they are (Such as someone stated earlier). They could have something such as is done with the grand exchange. A message would pop up Welcome to Runescape. Example1 has changed his name to example2. It's nice and simple and very effective. I'm sure most people notice the "Items are waiting for you at the grand exchange" message that is shown. However, this wouldn't work if you log in and out in crowded areas, if this were the case, instead of a message in the text screen, they could use a pop up. Also, to stop immiture players from changing their names Jagex could use some kind of payment to change names, such as is done with gender changes. I myself would probably not use the name changing system, because I'm grown attached to it over the years, and even on other RS accounts people still call me death, so I couldn't really get away from it anyways lol.
