pulli23 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 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 fishingand I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing Then they came to the yewsand I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews Then they came for the oresand I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.

John Halo Chief Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Sy_Accursed Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 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.

Rock Hard Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 many people think up good names and create lvl 3's with that name as placeholders, some even sell these names on blackmarket, heh 'Rock Hard' boss pure - 60/60 Attack | 99/99 Range | 1/1 Defence | 44/44 Prayer | 99/99 Strength | 99/99 Mage - level 79 combat EOC ## '07 Server ## "Best Runescape update ever: Removing 6 years of updates."

CampbellMC Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 If it says Not Available, then it is exactly that. Otherwise you would get a unallowed character or other message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorofujita Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 many people think up good names and create lvl 3's with that name as placeholders, some even sell these names on blackmarket, heh 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
