display names?

Featured Replies

Well I wanted to change my display name the otherday...

 

However I couldn't change it to my desired name (or actually one of them). What are the rules on changing?

 

I've tried like 20-30 names and I seem to be unable to get any normal name? (without weird signs or letters)

First they came to fishing

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing

 

Then they came to the yews

and I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews

 

Then they came for the ores

and I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores

 

Then they came for me

and there was no one left to speak out for me.

So, you can access the actual menu to change it, right? If it says in red "Name unavailable" that means someone already has that name.

looked up in the highscores: and no name like that person found...

 

Don't tell me the biggest part of the names are for people not in the highscores at all?

Its possible the name is attached to a banned account or attached to an account tht recently changed. They wouldnt be in highscores, but cant be used.

many people think up good names and create lvl 3's with that name as placeholders, some even sell these names on blackmarket, heh

If it says Not Available, then it is exactly that. Otherwise you would get a unallowed character or other message.

This happens a ton in other games, so I can't imagine that runescape would be any different. Especially since before you couldn't change your name so "good" names were generally reserved by the first person to think them up.
