I'm documenting this upcoming feature here, as I have had to retype this a number of times recently, so just as a reference :
When people sign up to RHP using social media (which encourages "real world" names) they often do not want to continue to using their real world name here too, which is understandable.
Therefore, it will soon be possible for new users to change their name on arrival. (Account under one month old, name can be changed once.). The player's profile will indicate a recent name change, but not what the previous name was.
Beyond this, if a player is a subscriber, they can change their name once per year, their profile will indicate the account name has been changed, BUT the profile will list the old name too for one month.
This should mitigate against the reason we dislike changing account names - the confusion over "I was playing X, now I only have a game with Y"
