I support this idea.

Like Firebolty clearly stated, the option to display old names would come with the ability to turn it on and off. Also as for stating you want a fresh start that doesn't exactly work. Your name may change, but your new name is still attached to all your old post. People will figure out its you in no time really.


I for one like this option since I have old friends that all of a sudden seem to disappear, but in all actuality they just changed their name and I didn't notice.

At the end of the day implementing this would only help people, there is really no downside to this. Also don't say "the devs have enough to do already", if you keep that attitude then you won't be helping this game much. Yes the developers have stuff on their plate already to do, but if we stop suggesting ideas then the development will become stagnant. There are many many cases where the devs have dropped what they were doing because they saw an idea they liked and decided to work it into the schedule. So leave the job of deciding if the devs have enough work yet to them, they are adults capable of thought.
