Lieon, I hope they do indeed make it so premium members can change their user name. Surely there are no genuine software barriers to this, as it would be a simple routine, but perhaps the business end of it is such that they worry that people would opt to do that rather than create an alternate account, which seems to increase "users", a promotional statistic, as well as in some cases cause people to make further purchases. As you've said, you are merely 7000 lindens into SL, which, believe me, is so very, very little, so i agree with the option Matty has recomended, that is, start a new account, and the advice Rolig gave to not delete your existing account unless you feel it is just too risky security-wise to keep it. I am heartened by Molly's advice to hang in there, as the Name Change function is coming soon, except that Matty has pointed out that it has been said for quite some time, hence, if you do wait, best not to invest any more lindens, in case you find that the Name Change is not at all imminent, but rather is just "hot air". I would soooooooo welcome the option to name change, meaning change the user name, with proper security so that no one could tie the new user name to the old one.
