Is this how you do this?

i think that the name change is almost a bad idea. How would people know whose who with the new name without going to their page. I mean, like if I Change my username to platypusbolognatoast. That has nothing whatsoever to do with my name. How can people identify me easily?

Water divines will be in the Reserved Sales?

New divine named Midas coming to the game. He's like a Donkey or something

Your old username displays on your page for 2 weeks - and other than your display name, nothing else changes. Your ID number, affixes, avatar, presentation, etc. remain the same (So if you are someone who has an easily identifyable avatar (like my Catherine's Dream ones) no issue.

This is Ow's reply to those questions:

Changing back to your old user name after a change. => Normally not possible as the old username is blocked as for anyone else.

Usernames are blocked as long as the account that is the initial "owner" exists in our systems. Meaning that unless there is a definitive deletion of the account and the storage period has elapsed, the username remains unusable. It works on the same system as when you create a new account really. So technically usernames used once become virtually impossible to get a second time

As for typos when changing username i certainly hope that in this particular instance players will be careful and check what they are typing. We won't be doing login modifications manually a.) because it's a timely operation and it bypasses the ownership rules as we don't do a check with what is stored when we do make changes. b.) the login change feature is accessible and we aren't going to double it up manually it wouldn't make sense.
So if they do manage to make a typo they will have to wait until they can change again.
We would only do that type of manipulation manually under the direst of circumstances

Thank you so much for taking time to look into those questions. It is much appreciated. So you will not be able to go back to your original name it seems.... I don't think I could change mine. I have wanted to for years but now presented with the chance I don't think I could. I am glad no one else could take it though. That would be very confusing.
