It'll become to your display name within a few seconds after. I guess it's a lag betwin jagex's server and your computer.

No it isn't my display name... My display name is completely different, look that guy up, im 96 summoning as you can see in the top right and he isn't.

 

[Ricky]

That always happens.

What your name changes to someone elses name? My name is NOT dylan172-185.

 

[ll champion]

That happend to me ages ago. I forgot what it changed into, but i was in pc and while the screen was loading my display name was some main.

 

[Determinate]

That is strange indeed.

Maybe it has to do with you taking his spot in the server. As in, you just logged in when he logged out. PID's exchanged?

 

[Peetu]

The same has happened to me numerous times. One time I added the guy whose name I had, and he said that his name had been mine for some time.

 

[Coinshare]

Rofl I want this to happen to me

 

[TDG Best]

2bad others dont see it as your name before you type something

 

[Erkki]
