Ok, So a LOT of people have been asking about being able to change their minecraft username, Instead of having to spend about another $30 on a new account just for a new name!

Do you think they will ever add this into the options?
(maybe for a small fee or even free?)

Do you think its a good idea? and why?

Not such a good idea? and why?


I personally have been wanting to change my username but cant bring myself to pay $30 for a name : /

But if they do add this I think it should cost a small amount so people don't abuse it!
Maybe like 3 or 4 dollars would be reasonable.

If they allowed you to change your name, you'd get un banned from servers unless your IP is banned on that server. I own a server and have tested this.

Yeah. I have to agree, But how about you can change you're username every 3 months for $10 or $15. That would be cool.... Right?

No. Because then it's like buysing another account anyway. Free or I'm not doing it.

they need to make it so you can change your name once and you should keep your id and such so you stay an op and stay banned on servers and stuff.

Or they could do what Xbox Live does, allowing the player to only change their username once. After that a small fee will have to be paid in order to change the player's name again (i.e $5, $10, etc.).

This was the point of migration, to my understanding; users would be uniquely identified by their email, and their display name was simply a nickname.

Just like Runescape
Accounts username Turn into Email address

Email Address = Username

Mojang Servers Send Auth Details Such as Email And Username Preview

Player Joins game His ID is his email But Display name is What he chose on minecraft.net

Server Uses His ID For plugins But Uses His Name That was Chosen at minecraft.net
For Preview

Am i correct?

So, what I said could be valid? Instead of a code, you use your email.

This could by pass ban lists, and annoy server owners. It should not be implemented, maybe nicknames, but not changing names permanently. By nicknames I mean like you do on servers. This would also confuse players and whitelists. It could also be used for trollers or griefers...

I think that back in the Beta and Alpha, most - if not all - people created usernames in the light that it would be purely a login ID rather than a display name and that has led people to a stump. The solution to that problem was buying another copy of the game. Only recently Mojang added in a feature where when you make an account it says (Username & Display name) and so i think people are now thinking more.
Everybody in this forum is correct:
- there needs to be a username change feature
- it needs to have an ID as Deth_Glitch pointed out
- it needs to have a 'cooldown' time so people think when they create their name (2 or 3 months is good)
- it needs to be like steam (Pln99) where you have a login, and a display name
- it needs to have a way of finding out their original Display name.

This update is needed badly, for the reason ubove.
Lets hope we atleast get one chance to change so mistakes are covered.

i get you but it will need to be hexidecimal (alphanumeric / both letters and numbers) so that there wil be enough for each char and not guessable for hackers also there should be the ID code somewhere you can see it so you can easily bann people

as long as they add a name ID a 6 digit code that admins can access or something that always stays the same

(so you can still ban people)

then im definatly for this

Mojang needs to do it like how Runescape does it. You can change it once every 30 days, and if you hover your mouse over the name it shows last previous name.

A smart idea, although you would need to make it longer than the month. Also, I fear that too many people will change their name to names like Xepho341 or Honeydew3847294 or something random like that.
