[Changes to Display Names Based on Your Feedback]

Not to mention that with all the TPV's having thier own colors, and Phoenix being able to CHANGE your color to whatever you want... it's already a rainboz of colors over everyone's heads now, so a new color is useless, unless it's the color of he shade  behind the text.

[Changes to Display Names Based on Your Feedback]

I think I'm the one that suggested a fee for chnaging names. BUT MY suggestion was a fee of $20USD to change USERNAMES instead and bypass this stupid display name thing entirely, and when you do it you lose your old name entirely thus deactivating all your contacts, but you retain your inventory, so if you are trying to escape from harrassers you can do so and not have to start a new alt (and all the stuff and clothes etc...) which is way more expensive than $20USD. Just refriend the people you wan to retain from your calling cards in your Inventory.

(I could even see this working as possibly you creatiing the new desired alt, and then filing a inventory transfer form and pay the fee, that has to be approved by both accounts involved with a unique passcode via signing in on both accounts from the the SL website, thus the $20 fee for LL time to transfer Inventory - it maybe will take a week, but you get notice the move is complete, tada!)

Sounds like LL has decied to take that idea (one that everyone I've told this to over the years has loved it) and cheapen it's effectiveness and adapt it for this display name thing instead. Sad. I think just letting people change the actual username is what people WANT, not putting on a passibly griefing facade.

But then I think it shows that LL possibly isnt ABLE to change usernames meaning thier backend is shoddy.
