at first i was like "yay!"
even did a little victory dance in my head
but then as i read the article, i was like: wth?
so then you'll have to pay real USD to change your name, and it's still limited to some pseudo-randomised list of last names? (→‿ ← ; moreover, you can't pick any of the legacy last names anymore.
so much for creative freedom, and this ability being available "for everyone". (=- = ;
now, responding to everyone in this thread - in general, thank you for responding, and i apologise for the delayed response to your responses. onto each response then:
@Ethan Paslong - i wasn't exactly asking for it, i was asking how it would, in theory, be able to be done; or even how much it would cost us, as well as linden labs to have this feature released. i also had no idea it was in the pipeline, as you put it (and i did look lol - maybe just not hard enough i guess ¯\_('‿ ' )_/¯) thank you for responding though
@LittleMe Jewell - thank you for pointing me to the article ^^ it was really helpful, and answered most of my questions.. now we just have to wait and see if it'll really be just real life USD or if they'll accept linden, or if it'll be free somehow, as i'm not premium, nor do i plan to be. i have no way to put real life money into second life, so i have a small store to earn linden the hard way. doing it this way is a real bullet to the gut, and the heart. i honestly hope they reconsider it.
@Chic Aeon - thank you for commenting ^^ where is this town hall, and what comment are you talking about?
