    Question Reduce the Username change wait time?

    Not sure if anybody else has identity issues around here, but I think the 1 year wait time is kinda... long?

    How do you have identity issues in relation to the name "Sad"?

    It's a yearly limit to stop members from changing their name too often.

    Of course, this also does not mean you have to change your username once a year. I've had the same name since day 1.

    If you have identity issues, I think the issue is more your fault and not because of your username... BTW, the username field when registering will tell you specifically not to use a name similar to your other online accounts, especially Neopets.

    I'm just saying it because I feel that my Username doesn't fit me anymore.
    Just that.

    Never mentioned Neopets.

    And I threw the last part in there because people seem to not read that when registering.

    So really you just need to be patient...

    I've never changed mine even though I'm kind of nicer around here than my name suggests, purely because it's what people are used to seeing.

    One year isn't so long, but perhaps there could be a (small) paid option or VIP option to change it more like at a 6 month mark?

    But on the plus side, you're no longer sad, @(you need an account to see links)! In the meantime perhaps it is a reminder that things change and evolve and once you were sad but now you are not!

    Well, I for one applaud you for not being Sad anymore, at least psychologically.

    Haha, thank you for your comments.
    I think the VIP idea is great! It's surely a nice reminder, and just a Nickname, but that option could be great!

    @(you need an account to see links), as Joe said, we don't want people changing their names too frequently. This can be confusing, especially not all ranks have access to see the username history of someone. I know whenever I see a different name on someone non-newbie, it takes a while to re-associate who that is now with my thoughts, memories etc of them. I've always been Bacchus; my only name change was to capitalise it. I think it's good to pick a name that fits you in general, since they do last longer than the msn nicknames of years past; picking something too specific to a moment or fleeting thought means you'll be stuck with it for a while.
