Change Minecraft Username?
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.

I think They Should Make it so you can add friends on minecraft and join servers that they are on. In my opinion i think that would be awsome

I made my username years ago (massivepony) now every person i meet in minez is calling me a brony and its a pain im my ass when im recording. i want to be able to change my username and hopefully i can soon. youtube user name (chillingallday)
1
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.
1
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.).

Do it the same way steam does it.
1
Or each player coud ave a specific code programmed into the...... That's an ip.....
1
This might Break Some Bukkit plugins such as
Permissions And ranks
Aswell as OP
They will have to Change it To IP instead of username

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.

Bypassing bans... NO. Operators option, maybe.
1
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...
1
I guess this is a good way for griefers to troll you though. But still, it's a good idea!

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.

You should be able to earn your way to be able to.
1
It should be like Steam, but maybe with a time limit, something. nuff' said.
1
Yeah. I think they should. But they should make it for free and you can only change your name every 3 months.
1
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
1
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

also there is a hack clinect that lets you change your username
1
guys if you had a server and a guy greifed or something and you banned him he could change his username to something elce
1
Well, it depends if you banned his IP or not, if you did then they can't come back on.
1
unless they are on another internet
1
hence my idea of an ID code, then it doesnt matter where he moves to he will still be banned
1
true true
1
Unless you make it where you can change it once every 30 days
1
But honeydew12974623487 looks so lame and crappy that it would be a lose for them, not a win. and don't give me the credit on what I said before, Rnescape did it before
1
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.
1
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.
1
I suppose, since the yogscast is so popular many "fans" would change their names to something similar to the ones you mentioned.

That's a good concept,that way people will think when they choose their name knowing they can't change it for a month.

So many ideas but I have quite the original idea
