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!
Banning IP's is still pointless because you can just use a proxy to get around it.
LOL good for you!

I think maybe you should pay a small price for this feature. Like 2 dollars or something.", we shouldn't pay a freaking cent! seriously, i think the world should be free of payment funds, we shouldn't have a certain amount for something, we could all just have it for freaking free!
Your Login and Player name should never be the same. It gives people who mean to do no good a place to start. I'm fine if they have some unique identifier tied to accounts so server admins can ban people who cause troublke and not have to worry about them changing their name and sneaking back in.
Had I known the user name I selected was going to also be my player name at the time I chose it, I would have chosen differently.
Why? We bought the game. We should have the freedom to at least change our name.
Gah... My username is currently "hyperscore" without the capital H and it drives me freaking insane.....
