So being an awesome username myself, I've never really run into the problem of having to Change Usernames. However, for my alternate account, that's not the case.
My alternate (quite rich) has one of the worst names possible (zackz7654), and this is something I'd like to change. I know many others that have the struggle of wanting to change their usernames as the name they chose has stuck with regret and perhaps would like to update their name with modern culture.
Changing your Username is a very lucrative choice (1000 Robux), and many users don't have the choice of doing that. If you don't have a referrer when you get BC, chances are you won't be getting 1,000 Robux and you would want to spend your Robux on other things.
My Solution: Make it free. However, have a limit. All users (BC, TBC, and OBC could get more but it could lead to abuse) get ONE name change. This chance to change it will regenerate at the same time NEXT YEAR. This gives you to chance to really think about what you want to name yourself. Not only will it reduce the amount of accounts made for people who hate their username, but it gives the people the one chance.
And for the situation where if someone is banned, it goes under their name? Simply put, just keep the ROBLOX Username as a nametag and their ID (What goes in the URL on their profile) is what gets tracked for bans.
I'd like to see this entrenched in the system. ROBLOX has an amazing Free-To-Play system (Almost as good as TF2's) and I hate to see them become more money grabbing day after day. At least think about your users. |
