Name Changing Requests

New postby micksam7 on Oct 3rd '09, 4:23am

We're in the process of allowing Name Change Requests on RuneTracker.

You can see if your name can be changed by checking this page:
http://runetracker.org/namechange

If you get a soft fail warning, no worries, we simply need to review it before allowing it.


Requesting a manual name change:
Please include -all- your names needing to be merged in chronological order.
If you have appx dates, it'll make it easier for us as well

Old name: [x]
New name: [x]

[comments?]

Or:

Old name 1: [x]
Old name 2: [x]
Old name x: [x]
New name: [x]

[comments!]


This will make reading through things much easier. <3

I thought I'd be clear, unlike a few other trackers, our tracker has no issues handling invalid data due to names disappearing or being changed. You can continue to view old names on the site, and use new names normally. New name use will have no effect on merging later.

However, note that if you do -not- request a name merge, your old nick will be -removed- from our tracker database after 35 days [the runescape name expiration period].


Of course, none of this applies if you never changed your RuneScape Display Name in the first place.

Edit: most of this info needs to be updated.

Little server lag earlier. Is fixed now and I increased the time limit for the checkname script.

We'll be merging things as soon as we make sure our system is working right.

Hopefully, sometime in the next 24 hours.

Haha I didn't even notice the 1000 posts.

But yeah, we're working as fast as we can, since we didn't prepare for name changes before at all.

It looks like it was already merged.

Note the page takes a while to load once you submit.
