CHANGING YOUR NAME!

Featured Replies

ok so heres my idea what if you could change ure name on runescape to whatever u want cus maybe u feel like a change or something.

 

 

 

so what would happen , u go into an option to change ure name and u type what u want ure name to be, then runescape will give u a message when uve changed it saying ure name will be changed in the next 24 hours or another possibility the next time u log out and log back in.

 

 

 

when u have ure new name a message will be sent to all of your friends saying that you have changed ure name to this name , and another idea for this, it costs money to do it by some wizard/preist about 6k/10k

 

and when he changes it , it will send a message to all of your friends like the last one saying you have done this blablabla but it comes up in friends chat btw forgot to mention in other one. and the thing is you can't change ure name for a couple of days 76 hours or somat so u can't like change it change it change it and just generally get on all of ure friends nerves with flaming.

 

 

 

well thats what i wanted to say hope u like the idea.

i am open to suggestions about this and don't be afraid to say what u really think.

no but it's the same like when u create ure name at start u can';t have same name as everyone else

nah ppl personally i wouldnt bother changing it....if u choose a name, ur stuck wit it, just in real life

Thats the a big real life problem actually, nobodys old school anymore...

 

Kinda breaks my heart :'(.....

I'll get there!

... eventually

Sorry, I don't agree with that idea! if you created a name for your account you should stick with it, just like in forums. You can't just suggest to get new names everytime. This would be so hard for Jagex to find out who is the scammer and the breaker of the rules.

What a crappy idea...

You have to change too much memory, from all of your friends list, ingame chat, doing this at 100k+ players....lag p10x?

you people obviously havn't played other games

 

 

 

okay, theres a different game that you can change your name, on but when someone looks on friends list for example and their friend changed their name you hover the mouse over the new name, and it says the old

 

 

 

uses up memory? i don't think so

 

and DUR you could'nt change your name to someone elses

 

 

 

plus there would be a limit

And on the Seventh Day JaGex said: omfg, we need more random events! (then releases 50 more)

can you taste eye candy?

not such a good idea....

 

and it would help hackers... since they could change there names to whatever..

alright, obviously you have not thought this through. All the quests have ur name recorded in them, they don't do it by face or ip adresss...its but name, whose done it and not. THere is no possible way for them to do this without wrecking the entire system. THink about friends lists? All your friends wouldn't know. THis would just not work.

I I think this is a bad idea, but I do think anyone with a number in their name should have to change it. It's no that hard to come up with something original and not aznzezima882929(i know it's too many characters...)

 

 

 

 

 

I think I did the math, and there can be either 953962166440690129601298432 names (i think it's wrong) or 2481152873203736576, I'm pretty sure you either take number of spots available (12) to the n'th power, n=number of letters in the alphabet or the other way around...Seems too much though...

Quality posting at its finest.

Now see if you lived in the US theres a goverment website that lets you legally change your name. I think you need parental permission if your under 18. My friend hates his name (Marad out of all things) Hes gonna change it someday...someday....

 

 

 

Btw I dont like the main idea for the reasons already stated.

dont be soo harsh on him, i personally like the idea. my friend has a name like 'barny rules' which he started when he was like 5 and now hes regreating it cause he walks around with a name 'barny rules' and hes really embrassed...so that would be great if he could change his name.

PURE F2p

No. They would also have to auto-change friend list names...Which would not only take up lots of memory but might create bugs and be chaotic.

hmm its just not practical though. :? People wouldn't know what person to add and everything, friends lists, ignore lists they'd all get confusing. Unless it said everytime someone changes their name on the blue writing, Runescape11 has changed his/her name to Runescape22.

 

 

 

Hmm actually hey wait thats not a bad idea.... :thumbsup:

so i'm guessing you don't like your name?

 

 

 

anyways bad idea

[omg] who cares if its nerfed or fixed....

you people will argue over the color of a green apple if it was a topic on this fourm god.

cant change ur name to a name already in use.

 

 

 

a new section on website specifically for a section which contains the users friend list, that users original name, and further towards the top of that list all the ones that have chagned recently, and the name they changed too..

 

 

 

it will come. i assure you..

 

 

 

pz

Hexy

nah ppl personally i wouldnt bother changing it....if u choose a name, ur stuck wit it, just in real life

 

 

 

You usually don't choose your name irl do you :-k

 

And it is possible to change name irl.

 

 

 

Lol I don't wanna change my name, if I did, someone would take it and i couldn't change back #-o

 

And it would cause lots of confusion with your friends, when you some day log in with a completely different name

Uula.png

I disagree with that idea. Basicly because one day you got scammed, record the name since you relized it took you 60 mins to relize, you report to Jagex and it has no idea who that is because he changed the name.

 

 

 

Terrible idea, with that idea you can be a traitor and no-one will ever find you.

 

 

 

I'm back to this forum, and I will make a suggestion. Don't worry, I will research it a lot before posting it, which I've never done before.

your name is the only thing to keep you unique, being able to change it would play havoc on the servers too.
