March 2, 200719 yr i don't know if this is true or not but it popped into my head today at work. I think i remember jagex saying that they would let us change our names sometime in a future update, i'm probably just nuts, but if i'm not could someone shed some light on the subject?

I messaged Jagex months ago asking for a name change, they said to me that it cannot be done yet, but maybe in the future. - Denic.
March 2, 200719 yr I highly doubt Jagex will ever let this happen. For starters copycats - How many people will name themselves things like "Zezima2" "Zezima3" "Zezima4"... "Uloveme1" "Uloveme2" Etc. Also, with over 6 million odd characters, I doubt it's feasible. That's a huge database shift. @Trade_With

March 2, 200719 yr I seem to recall some very vague hints about this some time ago.....but IMHO...I wouldn't hold my breath. If/when this happens, it's a "biggy" Apart from the initial mechanics of changing a character's name, a lot of other things to be considered/dealt with. Initially what comes to mind: 1.Name change....how it affects friends lists 2.Name change....does old name instantly become available, or is there a "cool off" period...or indeed does the name just become never again available? 3.I'm sure there's other stuff to be considered :-)

Yes, but most of those will stay a low level and never be used. I'm sure most of them will already have been taken by some attention seekers anyway...... Also would it be a "first come, first served" basis? - Highly unfair. Plus, what if you changed your name, someone took your old one - that would mess the friends list situation up. Or, if someone takes a name of a banned person, or one that looks similar, that could cause a lot of confusion "Durial231" or "Dureal321" anyone? I really don't see this happening, too many factors to consider here. What about people who have quit and want there name to go on? @Trade_With

March 3, 200719 yr To be exact they said they would make a change for people whos names are messed up with the censor. I believe they also will let people who were banned for offensive names or have more then one space in their name change too, So not too many people, but a decent amount.

I don't think it's going to happen. ~M
