Name Change
Posted on 16 March 2016 - 11:09 AM
I know this is a pretty weird thread to be put in the badlion forums. But please answer if you know ._.So for example, if someone changed their name and we want that username, we must wait for 37 days right? Is there a way to shorten that wait time of 37 days?

I'm pretty sure a month has to pass for the name to become available, might be wrongPosted on 16 March 2016 - 01:21 PM

I thought the same, however, how is this possible?

After a name is changed, it is blocked for 37 days until someone else can get it. For example, if I would change my name to "Felipe10", my current name would be unavailable for 37 days for you. For me, that name would be available after 30 days for 7 more days, in case I changed my mind and would want to get my previous name.
Basically names have a "cool down" so if you regret changing it you can get it back easily :)
I don't know what happened with that guy tho, pretty weird

Suggests an intervention from Mojang of some sort. Not sure why they'd find that name objectionable, but they've done it to certain inappropriate names.

Mojang used to change names for you before if both accounts had TID. However, since people started abusing this system to get names that weren't theirs, they've stopped. You won't see that happen anymore. I have it on my account name change history, but that's because my account got hacked, otherwise, they won't swap names for you.
