I'll just create another 9999 accounts named Perfecteca so no one will steal my username. :D

gee thanks not like i spent 15 dollars to change my name or anything already

Honestly if this goes ahead with all the backlash and negative comments excluding staff which are obviously puppets... Then there is no hope left for this already dying game.

First order of action is to provide everyone who paid 1500 for a name change a full refund. Failure to do so just proves to everyone that everything is money based without consideration of the players who without Atelier801 would be out of business.

From a business viewpoint its clear you’re having money issues. Clearly with the introduction or “collector items”. As horrible as I think that idea is, this new nickname thing is far worse. Can already see a lot of original players quitting the game. With this the game is just losing originality. Frankly i’m unhappy.

No lo puedo creer! Pienso que ahora será un poco feo porque los trolls podrán crear cuentas con los mismos nombres y será un caos. No me imagino ver a otro "Sebastianes" de Chile y que lo único que me diferencie de éste sea su "#" y su fecha de creación. No sé cómo funcione el sistema fuera del juego, creo que deberían hacer otra cosa para separar "Dead Maze" de tfm. Sinceramente no me gustó este sistema, creo que debieron preguntarle previamente a los usuarios pero bueno, todo está en un cambio constante, no? ._.

This will turn Transformice to trash. Don't go ahead with this!

this sucks lol. making it so the same nickname can be used more than once is literally begging for people to impersonate others and cause trouble. find another way to do this, because this isn't going to be something that helps the game.

Many people are hating this because anyone will be able to create an accout with their nicknames now. (along with another reasons too, but this one is crucial)
But as some said, a great way to avoid this is be to make this optional. To make the nickname's current owner decide whatever or not he lets anyone copy his name.
Also, another important thing would be to hide de #xxxx when the number is 0000 (the original). That would make them unique.
