Sorry, but that's because it is dumb.

We're all playing in an online game, sure. But non human readable names (or very stupid ones) are going to be denied.

The "name change" functionality should be used when you really want to change your nickname (almost) anonymously and keep some things private, or if you really do not like (for any reason whatsoever) your current nickname anymore.

And what I say "almost", some people prefer to start "fresh" when changing their name. However, is it at their own discretion on how they hide their old name.

Since when changename is to hide your own identity? You have changename in every game and it's there for fun, not to hide your identity. Also denying a name because it's stupid is the biggest bullshit ever.

Since forever? Especially when Mike introduced the uuids ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier ).
Well, in my case I use usernames as a form of alter ego, everyone knows me by my original alias so me having diff username wont harm anyone

I mean people will find your identity by discord or houses or your car. Plus if you can use namechange to hide your identity does not mean that that's the only purpose and chaninging name to have fun should not be allowed.

What a load of bullshit by x4x  😂

What’s “dumb” or “stupid” is totally subjective, it’s different for everyone. What you think is silly might actually be meaningful to someone else. You don’t get to decide that for us. Is there some secret rulebook you’re using to judge names? If so, share it so that we all know what to look out for.

Honestly, it feels like certain staff members are so bored they have to invent problems just to feel busy. This wasn’t even an issue until yesterday. I totally get racist and hateful names being rejected but dumb??

There is a reason why you can join and register while being named let's say JonathanBarnaclesTheFish and nobody will change it, cause that's a fully appropriate name. Well you can also join as Hitler.1337, but still If the game allows and It doesn't hurt anyone keep it like that.

Just stfu and let us have any type of name except the hateful ones. Rejecting names for being dumb is a dumb move itself people use dumb name for fun it's a joke, satire. Stop creating problems cause you don't have anything to do lol.
