Drow4 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 This has been a long time in the making, I've seen JMods post about it on the RSOF as far back as 2005 so I'm sceptical about it being anywhere near ready to be implemented.. If it is I will most definitely be changing my name, I just need a good name idea. :-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowgravity Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Can't wait for it, hopefully there is a name swap feature so I can get my original name but if there isn't then that's fine too. Lowgravity, I want to be just like you. But...I never will be as 1337 as you. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great_one Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 another note is that if there is a nickname feature it will greatly reduce account theft/hacking. The way they could do the friends thing is such as irc does it. you log in and you get a message "Great_one330 is know known as Barsad_Cly." and maybe so it is easier to keep the names straight you could right click the name in the friends list(not public) and click the option "view username" and the person will only be able to see it if the other guy has the option turned on public/friends/off such as the other things.

Toad Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I hope you can set a nickname, even if its set somewhere else in the world or anywhere, but if you're in pvp or whatever then nicknames are disabled. Log in name is a big concern which will prevent hacking like many say so thats a smart move, and this new anti hijack device virtually unhackable!

Mil Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 They confirmed name changes to one of my test Twitter accounts quite a while back; http://twitter.com/OfficialJagex/status/1845655162 We have a project this launching summer that to allow all players more freedom with their names, including them being changeable The wording makes it seem there is more than just username changes coming soon...possibly clan tags?

Marco Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The day I can change my Runescape name to that of my Xboxlive gamertag will most likely be the day that I bother playing this game again. I suspect that the option to do so will be released at the same time as Mechscape, for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I don't think I'd change it, unless I could get legolas or lego. No matter how bad my name is, it's been what I've been used to for almost 5 years.

Yes, but the thing is, what if 85% of the players set their nicknames to Zezima? Then you'd be walking around the GE surrounded by all these Zezimas... :? ^ Blog.

Sheep Tails Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I like my name, thanks. :D Sheep Tails was, quite oddly, not taken about 3 years ago. I got the idea from their example of "red_rooster". Anyway, the nicknames will be useful. And I'm interested in Mechquest as well :lol: Follower of GuthixThe quill is a miracle, for it drinks darkness and sheds light. Oh right, by the way, I'm a girl.
