Display Name Dilemma
Today Jagex released the display name update and if you have been reading the Q&A’s you knew it was coming. I was fairly exited for it because i wanted to get the name “shwan” i was about to do it then i realized changing my name to just “shwan” would break the bond that OVI has, so i decided against it. However it got me thinking that when people saw the members of OVI together they thought “wow since they have the same names they had to make new accounts together that’s pretty cool!” now they will just think we all changed our names. Of course this is not a huge deal but it is a bit disheartening knowing that no one will believe that all of us started brand new accounts at the same time 1 and 1/2 years ago and how far we have come.
Even thought i don’t want to change the name of ovi shwan i still want to own the “shwan” name on runescape, without thinking i went to change my pure account’s name and realized it is only a members feature so hopefully “shwan” won’t be taken when display names get carried over to the free world.
