Miss Lioness Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Character Name Clean-upWe’re updating the way character names work, so now you can grab that name you’ve had your eye on since you completed Cook’s Assistant and change your name more often.Members will continue to get one free name change per month, and we’re now offering you an alternative way to change your name as many times as you like on top of this. Redeem one Bond to swap your name for another, completely bypassing name change waiting time of one month. As well as offering this new name change service, we’re working to release character names from dormant accounts. If you’re a member, you’ll be able to take one of the names we release completely free, as long as you haven’t changed your name in the last month. Don’t worry though, your character name is safe. As long as you’re a member or recently active free player, your name is yours to keep for as long as you want it.We’ll only be recovering character names from the following accounts:Former members who haven’t logged into their account for 2 yearsPlayers who have never been a member who also haven’t logged into their account for 6 monthsWe’ll be sending out emails to all accounts affected. If that includes you, all you need to do to keep your character name safe is log into your account within the next seven days.So, if you’re having an identity crisis or just fancy a change, redeem a Bond now to change your name and keep your eyes peeled. We’ll be releasing a list of the names we’ve made available, in batches, within the next few weeks. The RuneScape Team 1 Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?~ Marianne Williamson For account help/issues, please follow this link: Account Help. If you need further assistance, do not hesitate to PM me or post here.

Gradeskip Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Is it a one-time cleanup? Or we'll have to log in onto our account once every 6 months/2 years forever to keep our name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeeeeDamn them stepping it up so soon, those corporate bastards! I don't need to play (or want to play) anymore, but I shouldn't lose my original login name over it under any circumstances. I hope logging into FunOrb will be enough, as I really can't go losing 700 MB of disk space right now without ticking someone else off. Heck, does Jagex understand the impersonation that can (AND WILL) occur over this kind of crap happening?!?!? :angry: ~Mr. D. V. "I'm [bleep]ing ticked off over this sudden change!"

Ammako Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 You don't instantly start downloading 700mb of cache once you log in, though. You can just log in to lobby, then exit and close the client. Shouldn't download more than a few KBs, if not a few MBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't download more than a few KBs, if not a few MBs.That hasn't been my mileage in the past. Every time I generate a fresh cache directory, that much space is pretty much instantly lost. At least until I kill the cache directory again. It's like RS's applet enjoys slurping up available disk space on me. :( ~Mr. D. V. "What you've seen isn't what I've seen."

Sobend Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I really dislike the idea that they pawn off people's usernames in the first place. A username is an identity, it shouldn't be taken away from you. Especially not after 6 months. 3 -Sobend Proud to be free from the tyranny of pants. Hurrah!

Ammako Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 IMO it should have the same restrictions as before; if the account has at least one skill above 30 then it gets to keep the name. Then if the account doesn't meet those requirements, after 6 months the name is removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 At the same time, though, there's really no reason to preserve the name of someone who hasn't played in close to a decade... Though the fact that they're so squeamish about listing players' original usernames limits it somewhat. 1 I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A username is an identity, it shouldn't be taken away from you. Especially not after 6 months. on the other end, there are people that camp names, in accounts that have never really been used, numbering in the thousands most of these aren't even planned to be sold, they just want to own those names do these accounts add value? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gradeskip Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 My FriendList is full of my old time friends that have quit a while ago, I keep them because sometimes one logs in and it makes my day!
