Every one of us picked our Minecraft user name when we signed up on minecraft.net for the first time (and every time thereafter). For most of us, knowing that whatever name was chosen is stuck with us forever is just a part of the game. Still, what if you gave yourself a silly or inappropriate name? What if you're just tired of the one you have? Currently, this means getting another copy of the game - but maybe not for long.
Jeb hinted that username changes might be a feature in the near future, something that Mollstam is looking into currently. While there is no set date - or even a hinted one - for the feature's arrival, it would seem that it's more a matter of "when" than "if" now.
Maybe I can use this opportunity to change my name to "MrFluffykins".

Wiki Skin Overhaul
For years, the Minecraft Wiki has followed the same visual format as many wikis - it's a tried and true look, after all. For one user - namely, Ultradude25, an administrator on the wiki - this just wasn't good enough. Leading the effort to revamp the wiki's appearance, the community has given Minecraft's most popular wiki a complete make-over - head on over and check it out!
Minecraft Wiki will seem quite familiar to forum regulars - keep in mind however, that the visual re-design was done entirely by volunteers! It is, in many ways, another reminder of just how strong the Minecraft community is, and how far it reaches. It's hard to think of another gaming community with such strong dedication, passion and sense of unity. Congratulations to Ultradude25, and everyone who helped him out on this incredibly ambitious project!
That would work for small servers, but on big servers where there is 20-30 griefers it would become a problem.
That whats the IP ban is for, my friend. And I think this is a good idea if there is a system that allows servers to track there original name, so they can ban from that way. so if someone changed there name to a griefers for fun, he wouldn't be banned from the server for a month.
I believe that the ipban still has flaws, there are ways to change your ip address, that's why I said in an earlier post that everyone should have a unique id that can be checked with a command. (I didn't say anything about the command part though)
I notice you seem to reply to my comments to pick on, I am sorry if I offended you in one of my debates.
Actually, if you have a client or something similar you can Proxy your IP Address. If you change your name also, that's just madness. Usually name changes only work on cracked servers for clients.
That is true but I am sure the profit they could make from that system would compensate for the flaws.
Yet they buy more accounts to be their "alt-accounts". I don't think putting a fine on it would do that much.
I see a lot of flaws in this, so I really doubt this will happen any time soon, maybe they will make it you can change your name once.
