Name change: But not as you know it.
Ruled out. I know. But please, read on.
My suggestion is probably going to make me get slammed from people saying stop requesting this, fair enough. I wanted to put a twist on the already popular idea.
Now personally, I am happy with my IGN. But I do grow sick of these threads, so the hope of this is to highly minimise the amount of the threads created. How could this be done?
A special event.
My proposal is that SuperCell advertise a special event name change, a one time deal. The weeks leading up there will be a banner on the news section of the game, a sticky on the forum and any other advertising SuperCell may feel as though is worth while.
The basic advertisement would be saying on such and such weekend 3 weeks from now, there will be the name change event. A brief maintenance break will take place, and when you log in, -go to settings - name change. This allows the option to change your name at the cost of 500 gems.
I reckon pretty much anyone who wants a name change would be happy to drop $5 to have the username of their choice. And I think it would heavily reduce the amount of these annoying threads.
That's all, please give me all the hate you feel obliged to. I'm expecting it anyway.
Ik why people want this but...
I have people i know from old clans and of we both changed our name we would never know who we are! It's a good idea but it would cause so much confusion it's not worth it!
