Mojang Account System Update is Live!
THE UPDATE IS LIVE!
https://mojang.com/2015/01/announcing-m ... e-changes/
Starting February 4th, you will be able to change your Minecraft username. To do so, you will need to have your Minecraft account tied to a Mojang account.
There is a very reasonable 30-day cooldown between changes, and used names that people change from will take 37 days to become available for reassignment. 37 days allows for the 30-day cooldown plus a week grace period for someone to change their name back before it is taken.
Post your opinions on this.

Changed my old account's name to "SuperBowl"
Don't think i'm gonna be changing my main account though. Cause I've already signed up everywhere with "jdf2".

I wont change my name tho i like to stay true to the original.

i debated XxXXx_5up3rSWAGl0rdxoxoxo360noscope480blzeitXxXXxx__ but Karrthus is nicer
1
I changed mine earlier this morning. No more "x"s for me. Now it matches my PMC name.
1
Now watch as server owners are terribly confused as their staff login with new names.
1
if they are sensible owners their staff should have like a skype group or a teamspeak channel
i shall now be known as Karrthus (no more 1's or lowercase letters hype)

That would be awful. Fortunately all but one of my staff members are people I am friends with IRL, so if they changed their names, they'd let me know.
I personally sent out server mail to let everyone know I was changing my name.

Changed mine to 'Pookie'

Lol and of course the name I want is still attached to a dead account someone bought a long time ago and forgot about. So unless that person suddenly remembers Minecraft and gets the idea to play, and on top of that gets the idea to change their name after somehow learning the fact that you can change your name now, even though that sort of function was unheard of up until about a month ago, the name I want will remain pretty much remain taken forever -_-

I know how you feel. ;-; I wanted Biskit but it was taken so I had to do Biskit_
1
I changed my name to Biskit_, but it's not showing up on my posts on here even though I changed it. ;-;
1
You sent a msg to super moderators and asked for a change?
1
No, I mean like under your posts, how you can put your MC name.
1
You need to change that in your PMC account settings.
I checked my Mojang account page as soon as I woke up, and nabbed CaptainMurica.

I'm honestly surprised nobody has done this yet......

You cannot change your name to a name that has already been taken. It's just like creating your name for the first time when you first bought it, except for free, along with that 30 day thingy.
1
you must've missed the comments about knock-off names, like "SkyTheKidR5" or "SkyDoesMincecraft"

I'm pretty sure it's gonna be when ever it is 12:00 in Sweden.
That is 6PM in central time today I think. (Not sure)

I'm quite jealous of people in central time. There is always a show that I want to watch that is on late at night and I always seem to fall asleep one hour before it. (EST for those who haven't guessed.
