    It still would be helpful to have an easier way, though. If a person I know IM's me and I cannot tell who it is, what I am I to do in that case? Look up the keys of as many folks as I can think of until I find a match? I would hate to see somebody I see at events frequently and not know it is them. Am I still missing something here?

    How do you look up keys? I'm thinking the calling card you originally got with their friend request will probably have their original username on it. So if you can look that up by key, boom, you'll have their original username.

    So, Who the Heck ARE You, anyway?

    So now ... do I:

    • Live with it?
    • Buy another name change?
    • Become the most flaming drag queen in SL out of spite?
    • "Kill" this account?

    Buy another change to “Steve”. Or open a ticket and claim “Joe” was a typo, and could they please fix it. Because you totally meant to type “Steve”.

    What does a post covid-19 world look like to you?

    Why would it take only one?  I would think that if a certain percentage of indigenous cultures did not industrialize that this would demonstrate they have something unique within them (compared to Western societies) that could have led to a better world.  One bad apple wouldn't spoil the whole bunch.

    One apple will build Maxim guns and shoot all the other apples.

    Well when I signed up 11+ years ago I signed up as a premimum user where I got to pick my last name. Does is still work like that today ????

    It does not look like it. I don't see an option to sign up as a premium user on the signup page, but I have poor attention to detail.

    That would have been a very bad move. All the people who'd already registered with a single name would've been upset to find out they'd have to create a new account to get a last name. LL had to be able to let those people change their existing user name. Putting last names back was the easy part. Burrowing through SL's software to make it possible to change an existing name was what took so long.

    On a completely different note: I wonder if Completely Dismantled is still available.

    Bringing them back may have been easy, but it's letting us change them that's difficult. Though, apparently, less difficult that dealing with the howls of pain from those of us who'd've been stuck with non-last-name names if that had happened.

    Dealing with the people stuck with Resident would have been a lot easier if they'd just done it when they came up with the name change scheme. Or when they realized "Resident" was a stupid idea and rolled out display names.

    Bringing it back probably had as much to do with people requesting it a lot as anything else.

    Given that it took 2 years to do all of the code changes, because it ended up being much more complicated than originally thought, does give a good reason for charging money for it. The $40 charge, IMO, is too much though.  And I also don't think they should have made it a Premium only thing.

    They could have just brought them back at the registration portal any time over the last ten years.
