People keep talking about how you cannot ban a username anymore... Minecraft has switched to UUIDs for everyone. You would now ban their account basically.
There will most likely be filters and such to make sure there are no trolls that change their names to notch and jeb. Really I just need to change my MC name because when I made the account there was a typo in the name and I didn't notice until after I had made the account.
actually, jeb said you can't change your name to ones that already exist.
Even though it might be stupid idea changing your name,we can't judge since we haven't tried it out.It's cool actually,since loads of other games have that feature.If someone changes name(and he's banned from a server,unknown one),you can ban his ip easly and don't have to think about that anymore.Just opinion,nothing else.

when you ban someone and they change their name, it won't matter because minecraft now uses a UUID system through the players mojang account to identify players, and that player who got banned will still be banned after they change their name, so you won't need to ban their ip anymore.
That would really be awesome. But then again if you changed your name often people wouldn't know who you are and you would lose your status on servers. I play both pe and PC so I have seen some differences. As some might know, in mcpe you can change your name. But there has been some problems with that. People get banned on servers, change their name, and come back again. But it's also useful because I was banned by a hacker on a server once so I changed my name and was able to return to the server. So I'm not sure. It might be for the best, or for the worst. We will just have to see. I'm sure if it turns out bad notch and Jeb could remove it again.

It was already mentioned that you can't be unbanned if you change your name.

I think it's bad, Changing name is not a good idea in minecraft because theres a risk that you can get banned from a server if they have a rule like that
why would anyone ban you from a server if you changed your name?

Dude u know no one will ever ban someone from a changed name because if that dose happen mojang will ban the person who is banning people with changed name
its called "abused banning" on somthing thats is nothing

Mojang can't ban anyone for banning someone else. At most, the server owner will ban the staff that did it.

I would check with your server ahead of time, then... and let the admins know your reasons... most people are somewhat reasonable.

Username changes will sure bring a lot of trouble with them;
- Bans, as said before, could only be worked around through unique player ID's and this shouldn't be more than a simple database column addition (if it's not already there).
- Friendlists, if ever imported, should be based on these ID's as well to prevent having a random friend at once.
- And last; famous people that would change their username could have a groupie steal their previous one and so pretend to be him/her. It sounds rather stupid, but I'm can see that would give trouble by giving the famous a bad reputation or such.
Anyway, if they insert username changes they should consider a lot of things before randomly messing with names.
I think famous people would see this and know what was gonna happen so i don't think it would be a problem
My friend can't wait for this update, so he can change his name to MADfatty...don't ask me what goes through his head. I, personally am not going to change my name, just so I can say to people in the future "I've had this name since the days before name changes were available!" so yeah, I guess I'm looking forward to this update, but the funny thing is, my friend (Thomas) isn't FAT at all...

There is a missing letter in my name, that is the typo. Techncally, changing my name to how I wanted it to be would not be an existing username.
no, i mean that you can't change your name to an existing one (jeb_ Notch, etc.) and i'm using my alt account
PEACE! -gravityballoon
