ixfd64 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 One of the issues associated with usurping display names is that it could create confusion for their previous owners. For example, if Jagex releases the username "Bob" and someone claims it, the new holder of the display name might be mistaken for the original "Bob" by the latter's friends who think he has returned to the game. I'm kind of curious: has anything like this ever happened to anyone who has claimed an inactive display name?

They system really needs to be revamped to show a complete history of someones name. 1 Maxed [February 14, 2012] | Completionist [October 25, 2012] | Trimmed Completionist [in Progress]Visit my Blog!

Steph Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Well original Bob would show up as a string of numbers in their friendlist. When someone gets added to a fl it tracks that accounts unique id not the explicit name [2:21:46 PM] Baldvin | Leik: these comp reqs are so bad [2:22:36 PM] Arceus Dark: Time to get...req'd?

When someone gets added to a fl it tracks that accounts unique id not the explicit name True, but if a friend of "Bob" were to create a new account, they might still try to add their original name and not realize the change. Oh yeah, and it seems the original display names of Andrew Gower ("Andrew") and Paul Gower ("Paul") have also been usurped. This seems like a bad idea to me as it could allow someone to impersonate Jagex staff.

Saradomin_Mage Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Andrew and Paul don't display any "last known as" at the moment, so I think they're still on the Jmod accounts. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levells Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 If a name is not on the hiscores, name change screen says it's not available, but adding to ignore says unknown player...what does that mean? Banned account? Something else?Decent chance of release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Randomly decided to check yesterday and got "Dark Dude" at last. (Previous without the Space) Remember to maintain a membership for a month twice a year for the following years. Seems to be enough to prevent you from getting your name taken from you, if their current criteria is anything to go by. Grats on getting Dark Dude, Mike.

Arceus Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Assuming it's A-R, no chance of release now I would say...if T-Z, it might have a chance. It could be a banned name I suppose.

Well, if you remember to do that, might as well just log in instead :). In fact, I think if you buy membership but fail to log in for two years it may be stripped from you, unless they changed something.

stonewall337 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Ya, I log in and don't know who some people are, since I can only see their last RSN.

Jedwardo Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 My account was inactive for almost four years, I'm glad I came back when I did.

I'm currently playing at the moment so shouldn't be a problem. RuneScape is pretty much the only thing I still use this name for (along with places that don't allow me to change name) so wasn't too fussed about getting it but it's nice all the same.

Ammako Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I don't really care much for name releases anymore, the name I wanted was released back in the second batch (and it sounds like it was unpopular enough of a name that it was still free yesterday when I changed to it.) And then I'll end up remembering a cool name from one of the later batches and going like "awww, somebody took it" like 2 months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza285 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Apparently whoever owns 'urza' logged in recently from a jmods response. What a load of crap...

Estoc Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Apparently 'Wight' does not start with a W, X, Y, Z, or number, so I got 'Estoc', the greatest of the thrusting swords. 2 From the empty days of hope, deny the darknessFollow my voice, we'll run far away from hereIf only to hide, to escape this lifeAnd live forever, forever in the sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
