Okay I havn't seen this suggested but a few people I talk to can agree.
A couple of friends and I joined back in 2008 and we were a lot younger so we basically just picked a username that we could remember. Now a-days users have actual nice usernames. I am on several other sites that allow username changes and I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed?
Also, I don't really see why we cant have the same creatu names?
I get that now its a huge deal with marketing for ranchers but there are literally noooo good names left. In the real world two people can have dogs with the same name. I don't really get whats behind this logic?



Well hello there humans, or aliens, of Rescreatu!! I have been on since 2008, so if anyone needs help please RMail me, I am happy to help. I do know everything there is to know about Rescreatu after all ^-\'

Usernames can be changed by purchasing a forged birth certificate from the cash shop or from buying off other users. Also creatu value is hugely determined by names and with allowing more than one it reduces the value of the pet as the name can be it's one of a kind thing. We have already had the character limit expanded and names on banned accounts so get cleared up and made available again so that's enough to satisfy myself personally.

I do see what youre saying, but at the same time not everyone can pay for items like that. Some people can, but some people like me dont really see why it would have to cost money to change a username on a virtual pet site.

You can save up and buy the FBC with TU or credits or pets (from other players), and if you're an older player form 2008 you might be sitting on a virtual goldmine if you have some older retired items or retired CS eggs. Players wheel and deal all the time, and I've seen single players change usernames more than half a dozen times without ever spending a single dime of real money. It's not that hard when there's determination behind it lol.

As for pet names, myself and a few other staff have pushed for allowing more characters in names, such as underscores and dashes. That would open up a ton of possibilities for naming. =)

I support user name changes,
without a FBC. but no one can have the same name.

I do NOT support..
creatu's having same names.
Cause that would bring down
prices do to rare names,or names
people cherish.

Well, yes not everyone can afford items like that at first, but that's kind of the point. xD Not everything should be easy and free in this game; otherwise nothing would be a challenge. Everyone has the ability to save up for themselves without spending any real money at all, and I think that's fine.
Also, it would be pretty unfair to the people who have spent hundreds of millions on name changes to suddenly make them free. :p

(FBCs are purchased with CP also, which can be bought with real money, therefore giving money to the site. Without people spending real money on Res, there would be no more Res. We need to bring income somehow.)



Creatu names are a very big part of the Rescreatu economy and pretty unique to this site; most other petsites don't have a limit on names like we do, and even when they do they don't seem to be a big deal or worth any money. It's a really interesting facet of this site if you ask me. Rescreatu also isn't trying to imitate life in any way so there's no reason that the ability to have multiple of the same pet name has to reflect the real world.
