    Players pay in exchange for a name change? Read first

    Hello! I know that Supercell has ruled out the option to change names, but hear me out. Say a player is uninterested with the name he/she has chosen when he/she has started the game, and wants to change his/her name. The player can pay money to change his/her name to fix that. There are obviously flaws in the given statement, however say the player has the option to change his/her name for a price. The exchange would be similar of that of a shield. Once chosen, there is a six month to one year cooldown. Another option in the future update would be to add previous names in the past, like what the company Steam uses. The price would be around $50 dollars to change a name, and players can easily be identified by other players with the list of previous names for the player. This cannot be abused due to the prolonged cooldown, and price. The situation would be a win-win, with Supercell creating profit, and the players being content with their names! Thanks for the consideration. I recently had a friend 'accidently' change my name when the free one was given out, and now I'm unhappy with the name I've been given, after two into the game, along with me pumping money into it, which persuaded me to create this thread. Thanks for reading!

    Supercell already stated that they will not provide players with a second name change. I can't find the exact thread stating this but I remember a Supercell staff member commenting this.

    People would always complain that it is too expensive or the cooldown was too long. Even if the cost was 1 gem and the cooldown was 1 minute, people would comp!ain that it should be free. This would cause waaaay more problems than it is worth. A bad name isn't the end of the world.

    To be honest with you, I was never a fan of the name change option. I was against it when it was an idea, I was against it when it was a leaked sneak peek, against it when it was a sneak peak, against it when it was released, against it when half my clan changed their name... heck, I still call many of the top, long term guys by their original names.

    It's just not natural to learn someone's new name after you've been accustomed to their original name for over a year!

    Sure, it's not the end of the world, but it would make the game far more enjoyable if players chose their name.

    Which is why I added the segment of where Supercell adds an extra tab, or button on the player profile to list previous names for the player, so that clan members won't become confused.

    Which is why you shouldn't of allowed someone on your phone or tablet, in the first place. It your personal device. There should be no reason why they're on your device, and there's a reason why you need to type in your Apple ID password before purchasing anything. If someone were to do that, it's through the fault of the player.
