Username Change On Habbo

[Superbomb123]

Hey Everyone,

So I was browsing the "submit an idea" on habbo.com and saw a great suggestion (I believe). The idea is below.

Now this idea is really good and has over 3,800 votes! Surely they would have to put it in the game, correct? Well, Puffin the person who comments on the ones that look good commented this:



Is this a future thing for Habbo.com? Will we be able to change our usernames, I think it would be a great idea! I do think it should be free for the first namechange then 20c each time you want to change your name and the max is 3 times. I also emailed habbo.com for when this will be put in place as it's nearly been a year ;_;.

Your thoughts?
Thanks,

Puffin left ages ago, so I doubt they are looking into this anymore

It's a bad idea imo and I wouldn't want it implemented for the possibility of being hacked and having someone steal all your usernames. It would also promote selling/buying names.

Well not if it was only available to people who have been registered for x amount of time,
and if they made it so when you change your name you cannot then change it again for x amount of time.

Hmm it would be useful but at the same time it has a lot of problems e.g. scammers changing theirs name, selling names, etc.

Someone could still steal your name if they hacked you...

I thought this idea was scrapped anyways, I remember Paul saying it was on twitter when everyone said what a bad idea it was

You could also have security questions that you only know.

I don't think with the current direction (that being positive) that Sulake it progressing into that they would be stupid enough to implement something like this.

Plus the only real huge problem left to deal with after the channel 4 revamp is the moderation, imagine what pressures this would place on the already impossibly stupid moderators

It's not fair that people should have awful name that they made they made when they were kids. ;_; Also, they would be. It will be implanted one day.

& Think it's a bad idea because of hacking? read this.

You can have Security Questions that you only know to get your username changed & if you forget it well, your loss also to change your username you must have like the X badge for how many days (1825 Days).

Also unless Habbo wishes to enhance the black market in some way it won't. Oh well I am sure many have the same opinion as you goodluck
