Totally makes sense to pay over ten whole dollars to change your name right?

Seriously though, Why is name changing 1k Robux? At least I can change my name on Steam for free and whenever I want to. I guess you just have to pay for the freedom of changing your name.

2 reasons why it costs money:

Robux is constantly being generated. It's an attempt to deflate it by some.
Namebots will snipe almost every name you can create.

As for the " At least I can change my name on Steam for free and whenever I want to." argument:
Yes, you can. It's your screen name. Steam allows replicates of names and any UTF-8 character to be in the name as well.

No support.

On Steam multiple people can have the same username, on Roblox that is not the case.
Each username is unique and then permanently connected to that user. The word "unique" being key.

No support, you don't change your real username on Steam. You change a fake display name. That's a feature that's never coming to ROBLOX because people will name themselves stuff like "Admin" and people will be stupid enough to believe it.

Changing your name is something you usually only do once or twice. Just pay for it.

A price reduce would be nice, though.. In my own opinion it's a bit overpriced, just to make sure roblox pinches every penny. 200 robux? 500? 450? Something.. Roblox doesn't need every penny out of our wallet.

if they did then people who have bought name changes would want a refund or get really pissed with ROBLOX


1000 robux is a fair price

> want a refund or get really pissed with ROBLOX


hey, I changed my name

and not everyone has money, for example, people who don't have jobs

all in all, roblox should ease back on their free to play, pay to enjoy system.. more cheap, decent items, and such

maybe roll things out expensive/exclusive and then ease them to the rest of the community, like they did with packages/3.0/etc.

I think that they should make it that everyone is entitled to ONE, and ONLY one, name change, then every other time you must pay.

No support, unless roblox refunds everyone their robux first.
Which would not be fair for them.
If they don't, it won't be fair for us.

"unless roblox refunds everyone their robux first"
ROBLOX never refunded ROBUX from the audio change; 250 to 100 robux price while at the same time 15sec max to 120sec max.

The keyword Admin in a username can be denied and making the price cheaper is also a good compromise. In addition, there would be refunds of people who bought the name change.

" In addition, there would be refunds of people who bought the name change."

"1. Billing
All sales of Roblox products and services are final, including virtual items and currency. No refunds will be given. "

so are you honestly expecting this suggestion to go anywhere now that it's going against WNTS and ToS?

I think we should all be fortunate enough that Roblox allows us to change our name as many times as we want, much less even change it.

It's costed 1000 R$ for too long, those who've changed their username (including myself) would feel betrayed.

Would you rather have users with the name "Hfhehsfk2143" because all the names are taken?

Here's another solution:

Instead of making it cost exorbitant prices to change your name, make it free or a low price for everyone, so that nobody can complain, and then set a delay on how frequently you can change it, say 1.5 months. If you're in the delay time period and want a name change, pay 1000 robux for it.

There are better ways to prevent abuse of a feature than making everyone pay.

Mojang AB does this with Scrolls and Minecraft, but they're a low multibillion dollar (2.5 billion, I believe) company, and owned by Microsoft so that might not work out due to ROBLOX's budget.. All in all, it's up to the administrators to decide, although they probably won't care at all.

Of course, this would be unfair to those who HAD spent the 2K Robux just to change a name. Although I think it's ridiculous, it would be unfair at this point. What you should have said, rather, is changing names for free AND those who payed a ridiculous amount get 2000 Robux compensation.
