Maybe, minecraft.net can have a published history for server owners/multiplayer players to look at and search somebody's old or new name. Then, It tells them what their past name(s) have been, etc.
Otherwise, this is a really cool idea as sometimes I don't like being called "minecraft" because I prefer going by "dj" ...
Being able to change your username would just be epic. I suck with making up usernames so this was the only name I could think of. Sometimes when I join a server, people decide to think my name's funny, stupid, etc. I would want to change my username, but I got too used to my username.
I now see the pros and cons for being able to rename yourself. Having to pay for name change...just no. You've already payed for Minecraft alone and you didn't have to pay for the username the first time. I agree with having username id's in case a player gets banned and they think changing their nickname will get them unbanned.
Uh, I don't know about you, but I signed up for MC because my friend said, hey this is a fun game, you should try it! I didn't know my signup would be my in-game name. Hell, I didn't even know there was multiplayer at the time. And I certainly didn't think it was something I'd still be playing a year later.
I used my real name, and because of that I'm hesitant to play online with anyone except people I know IRL. The opportunity to change my name means I can actually join servers and meet new people without fear of being stalked or something. This is good thing - this game is played by more people than just 13 year old griefers.
And because some people seemed to have not heard it the first 8 times, you can ban the IP address. Changing your name is not a free pass to get back on a server if you ban them right.
Ever heard of a dynamic IP adress?
I have. I have one. I would like to change my IGN as well, but I think this should be a 1 time per year to once permanently deal, not just go change your name for lulz... Anyways, for those of you who wanna relax to some sick bass drops
Good idea and it would be good for naming books in adventure maps and stuff
Whoops, I missed this... if you're that desperate, get a different launcher that allows you to change your IGN... I normally do NOT approve of nodus, but in this case it IS useful in a productive manner opposed to the opposite(griefing)... But seriously, if you wish to speak of this, imagine the cons of a constantly available username change opposed to once a year, etc... timing depends on what they decide, but as for the Change, it would be a little odd to ban people with a dynamic IP or proxy =_=
I don't agree with the once per year or only once, at most a once per month would be tolerable as people change their online handles all the time, since I got minecraft (alpha or pre-alpha) I have changed my online handle at least a 2 dozen times, but I've been unable to change my minecraft handle
I'm part of a server that doesn't allow nicks, well i say that, it's only one of the mods that has a problem with it.
If anyone changed your nick for you, he'll come along and change it back
nearly caused me to rage quit when it happened to me.
I'm gonna pray that we get to change our displayed name at least once.
Your first chosen name is a newbie choice, i chose my actual name, can you believe it.
Once u get into the game and have an idea of it, then u are much more qualified to choose a good name.

it's fair and it makes sense
if its one of the mods complain to the server owner
My username? I'm known as Draco(Insert random numbers here.) on every website I join. I think I'll stick with Draco27. Still, it would be cool if you could change your username.

My current avatar is Gyro Zeppeli from the popular manga Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. He's my favorite character. I love his optimism, dry humor, and his ability to do considerable damage even without a stand.
Gosh, i can't wait. I am so tired of my username. .-. It gets really annoying when people call me "silly" short for '1sillygoose'. As a user above me said, I signed up and bought it, and it was not to my knowlegde that it would be my MC username. Oh well. I am waiting for someone to make fun of me for it. .-.
This feature will be useful for me.
