Suggestion Title: Reserved Names System
Suggestion Description: TL;DR - Give people the ability to Reserve a name, and let them switch names conveniently without the name being stolen as currently you can steal peoples names and there is no protection in place
Alright so, basically I would absolutely love for myself to be able to change my name, but I love my main name (Ryan Mushroom) its part of my identity on the server, it is the character I play, it is who people recognize me as, I have made signs that are centered around me. However sometimes I like to change up my name, I have often changed it to play different characters but one time someone in my org caught wind and changed their name for a few days to Ryan Mushroom and there was nothing I could do, thankfully they where a friend of mine but it would REALLY REALLY suck for someone to just yoink my name maliciously because I wanted to play a different character and do something different for a while, something fresh. It has also happened to other players.
I would like if there was some form of protection in place, even if temporary (short period of time), or hidden behind premium for me to not have to worry about some gimp like *cough* Steve Phromkraft taking my name and logging off. It is supposed to be a roleplay server after all, I like my name but I want to play a different character sometimes for fun and this would massively alleviate that worry.
Possible way could be implemented
Once you change your name, you can reserve that name for 12 hours, 24 or pay a fee to keep it reserved but you can only reserve one name?
I dont have much of an idea of implementation, however I feel like this is something that would be generally liked by the playerbase, maybe ill get downvoted to shit and called a yap troll malek suggestion. If anyone has any ideas, or suggestions on implementation or story of this happening leave a reply!
Why should this be added?:
- Allows more flexibility in character RP, which in turn would help roleplay as a whole.
What negatives could this have?:
- Maybe people will abuse it in some way? I dont see how, and it would be easy to track considering the system I am suggesting doesn't really change much
-Unrealistic i guess? But irl multiple people can have the same names so i dont think that has much of a leg to stand on
- I guess it stops people being able to steal names and impersonate as easily, but ive never actually seen that happen
- Dev time?
What problem would this suggestion solve?: - Fear of ingame identity being stolen
