Title: Mojang Name Changes
Post by: Fedgar_Lurch on February 04, 2015, 06:38:28 PM
Okay, So I mis-spoke last night when I was asked about changing names. I didnt realize that anyone meant changing names right now. I assumed that that meant after we had migrated the server to 1.8

From this point on, anyone who changes names will forfeit claims to anything they had on another account. Until we have upgraded the server and figure out exactly how to handle the transfers. (It may seem easy but its a pain in the ass for us to modify all the files needed)

Let me reiterate. No Name Changes! -- for now.

I changed my name this morning around 9:30 am Eastern time, is there anything I can do?

You will have to wait. We took notice of all the people who have changed names. I will check the list and see what comes up.
After that itll have to be one of the upper admins that will transfer your stuff as time allows.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making this harder on the server administration :/ I didn't realize that this would be an issue

That is why we tell people to read the forums! Lots of good info here.

You can play cracked for the next month until you can change back.

Nah, not worth it, I'm just gonna go find other towny server (really liked this one though), I didn't have that much, but I had enough not to start all over and really needed to change that old dumb name I had. Anyway, this is a cool server, keep up the good work :D you guys are doing it great in many of the ways ways most servers fail.
Title: Re: Mojang Name Changes
Post by: Fedgar_Lurch on February 06, 2015, 03:15:24 AM
Okay, We will see ya around. If you feel like starting over come on back and tell us so we know who you are.

I don't think you're allowed to go on servers if you change our username. I changed it this morning, and I couldn't go on my server.
Title: Re: Mojang Name Changes

Changing your username means you can no longer access the same account.

You can either use a cracked launcher for the next month and then change your name back. Or just start over.

You're probably right :3

By start over, do you mean losing all items/xp AND losing for instance all permissions and ownership of towns, furnaces, doors, etc?

Post by: 7thMuse on February 08, 2015, 04:03:45 PM
Yes that's what we mean

But didn't you say on this post that you would help those who changed their names BEFORE you wrote this forum post?
Why is this changing now?

I'm the one who asked on the server if name changes would affect anything if you remember. I really do not see why the users should be punished for misinformation?

If there is something deeper at work here that is preventing you from helping these users, or if you're still planning on helping the users that you stated you would in previous posts, then I understand. But if that's not the case, I am seriously disappointed.

Indigo, are you doing that message regarding this post?

Changing your username means you can no longer access the same account.

If yes, this is directed to AbbyGymnastics, she posted before it. However, she deleted her posts without noticing us, making this sound a generalized thing, which is not true. I restored them back.

Indigo, if it wasn't your question on the server this topic did not exist, so we appreciate it. And do not worry, if you changed your name before our thread was here and if you were the person Fedgar refer in the first post, you will be transfered to your new name.

Thanks Migas

This isn't about me - my name is the same. I'm just concerned about all the users (and our town mayor Wbouhuys14 ---> Willixr) who changed their name as a result of my question and before the post :/. I feel partially responsible for making sure they get treated fairy if that makes sense.

<3 Amazing! Who is appropriate to ask, then, when they're online? I guess admins and Fedgar?

So Rich and Migas have transferred over everything from my old account to Willixir; is there the risk that an admin that wasn't involved in this might think that I'm a ban-hopper? I just don't want to get my IP banned, and so I thought I'd bring this up

That is not a possibility. I left a ban message that clear out what happened.

um when ur doing name changes can i keep my stuff if change from crack to priemim?
Title: Re: Mojang Name Changes
Post by: Fedgar_Lurch on March 17, 2015, 01:42:15 AM
That is taken up on a case by case basis. I would suggest remaining with your cracked account until you are a SM+ and then sending me a message about it.
