Habbo Name Changes?

[e5]

You could probably ask them to do this as it isn't really a name change!

i'd love this because then i'd get to fix a letter i didn't mean to make caps and then i could use my ORIGINAL acc

i just want them to delete inactive accounts so there is a wider choice of usernames

What, so active players go and make 100 each, and the smart ones go and sell them for fees of £30 each? Yeah sounds like a good plan.

No I am 100 percent against this idea for the reason that everyone else has said. If you get hacked, then your names can be taken as well as your furni. Also it will promote buying/selling of names. it's a stupid idea. Suck it up and make an new account.

How does it promote buying/selling of names? Surely it makes it less likely, since everyone can get their own name by themselves by applying for a name change rather than having to create a new account and lose badges etc?

People still want rare names... The amount of people that still come up to me to ask if they can buy my accounts is ridic. Loads of people have tons of spare good named accounts. If you can change names then it just makes it easy to sell them.

Ah, I was thinking of people wanting to get uncreated accounts - having a name change option means they can have the name they want without issues.

With names in use it would be an issue, yes.

I'm not sure if this is plausible, but perhaps if Habbo made all those inactive names that were merged from the US hotel automatically and made them so no one other than staff could register them. Then they could hold a variety of competitions, a player can win a name change to a name of their choice as long as it fits in with the specification.

just hate how I can't get the 'Habbo Name' achievement because I'm not new

I think they should move in the kind of way Steam do it, where everybody can change their "nickname" (displayed to everybody else) but you have an account name behind that which can't be changed which is hidden (e.g. email is your account name, nickname is anything you want). That means you could have hundreds of people with the same nickname though, so you could proof that by putting in some kind of feature to verify who is who. Real names perhaps? Getting rid of anonymity is a step in the right direction after all.

Just to add to that, alternatively you can do it where people can't have the same nickname as somebody else BUT you can change that nickname at anytime because it doesn't affect your actual login... Why they haven't done this since the introduction of Habbo IDs is ridiculous.
