There should be an update where you can revert back to one of your previous usernames like once a month(to reduce lag). Because I think I like my old one better...

You can change back to your old username. You just have to pay 1000R$ for it. Also these things don't cause lag. Siggy for Ms. Piggy

If 40,000 people changed their GT at once, it would lag the servers. Why do you think it costs 1,000 R$?

I also think it costs $1,000 robux to stop people from taking too many names or changing them too often.

1,000 Robux? Money grabbing.

"(to reduce lag)." Usernames generate 0.0001% lag. -_-

You don't understand how lag works do you. "If 40,000 people changed their GT at once, it would lag the servers. Why do you think it costs 1,000 R$?" Say each username changed was 20 characters long (maxmimum length now) that's 20 bytes of memory. 20 x 40 = 800. 800 bytes of memory 800 x 1,000 = 800k bytes of memory. a.k.a 800KB of memory. Yeah. ROBLOX is going to lag tremendously because 800KB changed.

20x40,000** I was just told that it lags, so I believed it. Not a very big deal...? The point of this thread was to suggest an idea. I made one mistake that doesn't even matter towards the suggestion and its a big deal. Funny.

Yeah it is simply for roblox to earn money and take currency out of the system to help prevent inflation. Also if it was free, just about every single possible creation of a coherent username would be used up within a few hours due to people constantly changing usernames.

I really don't see how username changes cause lag... Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.

I thought it was sounded, "Xer-ah-nus" Then I found out. But what ever. @above One wrong mistake bud. This community is all about correcting and making big deal of things nowadays.

Changing your username doesn't cause lag. Really..?
