Having read the faq, watched the video, read many responses, and read the changes based on input I still have a couple of serious concerns.
How will this effect banning from land parcels? Often an action needs to be taken quickly and one has little time to see all the detail while attempting to bring order to their land. Getting the name correct is important. Will the user name permit a banned individual to re-enter the land a week later when they have a new display name? Do we need to bann by user name or display name?
The user name is smaller than the display name on the video making it likely to be the one missed.
As a content creator with a lengthy list of "friend" contacts, searching for the user name when presented with display names, (ever-changing) in my friend list will be very frustrating. In a given day I must contact a growing number of clients to deliver custom orders, this looks to me as if my work here has just grown more difficult.
A good bit of customer relations is recognizing your regulars and greeting them, making them feel welcome and seen. Much more difficult when faced with twice the nametags in a small area. This opens room for inadvertently offending someone by refering to them under their long established user name having failed to register the display name.
Will I have to fill out my display name tab with my user name in order to have it displayed in the larger letters without the dot between?
I can understand the desire for Roleplay characters to have more flexibility with display names, but offering a larger selection of titles within groups would easily cover that. I also fully understand couples wishing to assume or hyphenate with their partner's name...I would think that could be easily applied for when a partnership is formed, and removed when and if it dissolves. I also understand the desire for names in languages and characters other than Latin, also easily done.
Do I want someone wearing my carefully chosen user name, which bears the cachet of my business ethics, reputation, and hard work....no, I don't.
I am a premium member because I support the place I play and add my skills to, and because I want the support in return. I truly feel that your paying client base are not being given what could well be simpler and less taxing to the system options.
Please do more than just "consider" colour differences in the user vs display names.
