    That is a point but maybe there could be a delay. So it could take up to 24 hours for it to change or something.

    You shud be allowed one every 2 wks/month and you would get a set day to change it. Would stop scamming problems to do with this.

    They should have the following requirements:
    - Registered your Habbo at least 6 months ago.
    - Can only change it once a month.

    If that fails, at least let us pay for one

    I created mine when I was a noob, I would love to change it

    They need to make a script that removes all accounts that haven't been logged into within three years. I'm tired of trying a name to find out it was last used in 2004!!

    You should be allowed to change your name about 3 times, and then if you want to change it again you have to appeal and give a damn good reason why.

    No, I could change my name to IAMAIDEN, someone else could take Kardan and pose as me

    I think it would be a good idea to have name changes without creating a new account, but habbo would have to look into the idea very carefully if it went ahead because of the risks involved.

    They should just charge like 100 credits to do this.

    Wouldn't really matter, they could just have a history of who has had the username and it will log it by their account-creation/user-id code (little code you will see in the url's of homepages; "/home/990009/id").

    A few problem(s) with this are:

    - As soon as someone has changed their name then, you can gaurantee someone will come steal your old name on their clone and pretend to be you, just for the fun of it..

    - People will be changing your username when they've hacked you, so they can use the name for themselves (if you have a decent name).

    Probably some more minor ones, like people constantly changing their usernames will be annoying.

    If you want your name changed so bad, then go make a porn site/illegal website and name it your currect username.. or try and name a drug/sex act after your username and tell habbo you want a name change because of it and they might do it. :rolleyes:
