    Thanks c0w! Most likely won't be changing my name. I really wanna change my name but I know people will go like "Who are you? You're not Xov. Dont try to lie about being Xov."

    Would changing your name affect buying VIP or currently having it?

    That's a good point, and it will be tricky if someone changes their name like that, or if someone tries to impersonate them...

    (Question): Won't it make banning someone much harder if they impersonate somebody? Then if no moderators were on at the time, only a few players, (who got confused about who was who) are able to give an un-accurate report of what happened ... and then either nobody gets banned, (which could result in the same thing happening again) or the wrong person has a chance of getting banned permanently (which also means that the player who did the crime is still out there)?

    I didn't really want to change my name before reading your post, c0w, but now I have more reasons not to. (But of course, if u wants to, that's fine ;)) :p:D

    I honestly doubt I would ever change my username to anything else. Its unlikely that I would because of how much trouble it would be, considering my friends would think I am somebody else. :p

    Thank you so much c0w! This must have took so much hard work :eek: I might change my name, but I am not sure yet. I want to change it because I didn't choose the name "A1_ryaN" in the first place xd. However, If I did change it, I know there could be some confusion. :confused:

    They can check their ban reports. Even if someones user changes, their reports don't. Hallelujah for ban reports! :p
    Edit: Just reread this and I'm like: "Oh. Jeeze. Lemme change this...". People get away with stuff occasionally (Brushes @b12arr01973 s cookies crumbs off my jacket.) and if the thing that person did was REALLY bad, I think the server would ban them automatically.

    Omg so exited. And one question, about the mod name one example if someone changed their name to _zelda75 and I was still zelda75, what would happen?
