Suggestion: Change Username Topic is solved
Well I thought that if a user is dissatisfied with their chosen username (like mine hehe) then we could at least have the option to change them by requesting it on a thread like on PFF (Pottermore Fan Forum)?

Re: Suggestion: Change Username
The problem with username changes it that it becomes difficult to recognise people. It's why I'm not a fan of it.
I'm considering making it possible with a small donation (small being $1). That way the user has to be completely sure they want to change their username, since they're spending actual money on it (even if it's just a very small amount).
Anyone have any thoughts on this matter?

Re: Suggestion: Change Username
I support the $1 fee idea for a name change, or at least some alternative that really makes a user think about it. Perhaps a large ammount of galleons as another option? EX: $1 or 2,000 galleons or something simillar? Just spitting out random numbers at the moment, if the ideas well liked we cant figure out a real number.

Re: Suggestion: Change Username
I see your point Rhynn! I think a dollar donation's good and for those who can't donate a high galleon price! Or maybe a cooldown? like you could only change username for once a year? Or maybe both: donation/highprice galleon payment + cooldown?

Re: Suggestion: Change Username
I'm not a fan of cool-downs personally
At least not incredibly long ones but I'd like to hear Rhynn's and other's opinions... Maybe if we changed it to every 3 or 6 months?

Re: Suggestion: Change Username
Perhaps a somewhat complicated system, but:
There are two ways of paying for a name-change:
-$1 payment (not a donation, so no donation perks once we have them)
-High Galleon price
When paying with Galleons, it is not possible to change usernames again by paying with Galleons until at least a month has passed. However, changing usernames by paying $1 is always possible (multiple times in a day if the user so wishes).
If people want it enough to pay actual money for it, then sure, I'll allow it however many times they wish.

Re: Suggestion: Change Username
I'm really late to comment on this but I wanted to throw my thoughts out there as well.
I like Rhynn's idea but I think one month between changes (with Galleons) might be a little soon. I'd say two or three months between changing it with Galleons. However, I'm not opposed to the one month between, I just feel like it might be too often, even with a high price. I'm just thinking about if someone changes their name every month just because they can. Either way, I think it is a good system.
The $1 payment to change your username whenever you want I think is good. It helps the site plus they get what they want.
