Temporary Names

I would pay extra to have the opportunity to have a temporary name change.  For instance, on St. Patrick's Day, I'd like to name my Glitch "O'Cats".  On Christmas I'd like to name her "Hoe HOE Hoe!".  It can last for a day or two.  I don't want a permanent name change, just for special occasions.  Thanks

  • What if this was a "middle name" type of thing, or a nickname? That way your username, which is directly tied to your account, wouldn't go haywire and cause a lot of confusion. Sort of like user tagging, possibly.

  • Name changes only cost 100 currants. Why not change it and change it back?

  • It may have changed, but I think names are locked for a set period of time before you can change them again. So that solution wouldn't work for something that's intended to be temporary (for a day or a week).

  • Yup, I looked it up and name changes are locked for two months.

  • Thanks for checking that out, pascale. In light of that, if this idea were expanded to include an alias or nickname "tag" that was separate from identifying a player as a user, I think it would be more practical and flexible. That would allow users to modify their tag on the fly, use non-unique tags (meaning, multiple users could have the same tag).

  • thanks all.  I wouldn't want to be O'Cats for more than a day.  :)
