On the account page, you could set a nickname by entering it in the field. Nicknames are completely seperate from your username. So how are they different?
You can change them at any time
Your nickname is displayed instead of your username in all circumstances BUT- On your profile page, Your nickname will be under your username, and if you are clicked ingame or your name is clicked on the leaderboard, your username will be under your nickname (more exceptions in below example)
2 people can have the same nickname. If they enter the same server, Then the leaderboard will display their Username instead.
Why is this useful? If you get bored of your name, you can use a nickname, you can change your nickname according to mood, and you can change your nickname to a Roleplay name before entering a roleplay place for added immersion.
