I think that when someones has an account or makes a new account should be able to change their name once for free. Right now, it costs 1000 robux to change your name. That is about 10 USD or about 8 euros. A lot of people screw up their name (like me) and want to change it but would not spend 10 bucks just to change it. Xbox has this feature and I think Roblox would do a lot better with it and a higher customer satisfaction percentage. But of course after the first name change on an account, it would cost 1000 robux to change it again.

Honestly, I wouldn't pay and a lot of people are eager to make an account and don't concentrate on their name that much until a little later like I did.

If you get a new account, you will have to buy BC again (if you had one,) Get all your stuff back (can take months) And never update your place again.

Does this sound fun to you?

I support.

Here is how it's exploitable.
1. Make a decent name.
2. Scam someone
3. Use that one free name-change. You can even scam if your NBC now :)

No support.

When a user changes their username, their previous usernames aswell as the one they changed to, will be locked. This means that no other player can use any of the usernames the player has used previously.

By allowing all users to have one free name change you cause two issues:
1) You practically double the amount of taken usernames, and considering there are over 30 million registered accounts, you remove quite a few usernames from use by legitimate users.
2) By making it free, you remove the factor which makes people think about changing. As in, with the charge people say "Hmm? Is it really worth it?", without it they don't need to worry about their money situation. This in turn can create a situation where unhappy people can't afford to change back, but completely dislike their new username.

---

If you do not like your current username, and do not wish to pay the charge (which is in lieu with other websites which offer the same service), you should have thought more carefully when creating your username to begin with, or alternatively create another account.

@Datastore
Newcommers don't really think about their name when they register, like OP said. And if the old username is locked anyways, that's when the "name undo" comes in, which is self-explanitory. Also the changed username would be unlocked.
