  1. There are websites that let you look up MC User Names, and some show previous names too, and the dates they were used.

    There should be no loss from a name change. Everything should be tied to your UUID, which doesn't change.

    In HG me and The_Void_Crawler lost all of our kits, but we still have our tokens and stats.
    We both got kangaroo for $100, if that can be refunded.

    My kids will be glad to hear this. They got stuck with names they didn't want because I didn't think I was going to buy everyone in the family their own account.

    After watching this name change situation unfold for the past few days, I can make the following observation.

    When it comes time to select new staff, this process is going to be much more difficult with respect to those players who have changed names. Those players who change names often will have less chance of being considered because it is nearly impossible for us to keep track of who is who.

    Food for thought if you had any aspirations of being chosen as a Helper.... We need to be able to link helper behavior and positive attitudes to your username.
