Scylla Rhiadra Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) It's occurred to me that, as people now begin to change their names, their monikers on the forum are going to change too. Which is going to make it difficult to know who is yelling at me sometimes. So, if you USED to be "Madelaine McMasters," but are now going by "Hillary Hijinks" instead*, maybe you can tell us here what name we've known you as before you shelled out your US$40! *Totally random example: "Madelaine McMasters" just kind of came out without thinking. But wouldn't it be cool if she actually was called "Hillary Hijinks"???? Edited April 14, 2020 by Scylla Rhiadra 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very foundations of everything we thought we knew are crumbling!! We're all potential dopplegangers, or weirdly mutating identities that we'll never be able to pin down (for so long as we have US$40 to spare). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvia Tamalyn Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 The FAQ says: Quote If I change my username, will people be able to find out my old name? It is possible, yes. For instance, if someone has muted you in the past and you change your name, your new name will appear on their mute list instead. It's best to assume that your old name is not a secret, though once changed, your new name will be displayed everywhere your old one used to be. https://lindenlab.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/31000155068-changing-your-username-faq/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selene Gregoire Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Quote For Premium customers, it costs USD $39.99 to change a username. Basic account holders are not eligible for a username change. Basics are not eligible. That is just so wrong. Fine then. I'll use my stimulus money for something other than premium and a name change. There is no good reason to not allow basics name changes within reasonable limits. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they'd need to pay the fee anyway. It just means basic accounts need to pay $40 + $10 (or w/e it is) to change their name. I understand the need for a fee of some kind, to deter griefers, bots and name-farming. A fee of $5 for any account tier is enough to discourage almost all bad-faith name changes. The difference between $5 and $40-50 is in how many legitimate residents are turned away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, my misunderstanding .. I thought it was meant as basics making an account and having the option and there being no charge.. It's my first cup of tea and still have pillow wrinkles and sleep in my eyes ..hehehe 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
