So recently I've been contemplating changing my name, because its rather expensive...I've been thinking hard about what name I want and what will really stick. I've noticed one thing though. When I get what I think is a good idea, it's usually taken. It doesn't make me mad that someone has the name I wanted, but it does make me mad that usually the people who have these names are accounts that haven't been used since 2008. I wish there was a way that I could change my name to something that someone already has if they haven't logged in to ROBLOX in a certain amount of time.
Anyone else have thoughts? |

No support.
Whilst in the vast majority of cases this will work out fine, what happens when the name is associated with someone "well known" in the community? I mean, if someone such as Dued1 quit - What's stopping someone from taking his name and just doing whatever they like with it (such as using his reputation, etc)?
Also, even if this were introduced, you'd have a "special" few who would go around snapping up any freed names within a couple of hours/days - So you're back at the initial problem, again. |

@Data, I see your point. I'm not sure exactly what ROBLOX could do to fix these problems but there are probably some solutions.
They could maybe even start verifying accounts like social media does today.
Just an idea. |

if DataStore doesn't think your idea is good and gives a good reason why it shouldn't happen then you mind as well just drop the idea.

@Buckeye Data made a good point and I agreed with him. There are however some possible solutions to the problems he brought up.
@0ne, It's not a burden for me to change my name, but If I'm going to do it than I would like to have a name I enjoy, I think the 1k robux price is appropriate so not everyone can change their name.
