Question on Name Change Process

[Furneceghost]

I have a question regarding the following method for display name transfer:

OK, here's what you do: if you have an account with a name that you want transferred to a different account, make the account with the cool name a member and change its name. Then wait the 28 days and on the day that you can change the account with the cool name's display name, make the account you want to transfer the cool name to a member. Open up two tabs; 1 for changing the account with the cool name's name and one for taking the cool name on the one you want to have the cool name. Change the account with the cool name's name again and as soon as you do, it will become available for you to take on the account you want to have the cool name.

Here's a bit simpler version

1. Change rare accounts name
2. wait 28 days
3. make the account you want to transfer the name to a member.
4. change the rare account's name again
5. take the rare name on the account you want it to be on.

This is much less riskier than the '2-day' method. However, it takes a lot longer. Definitely worth it if you have a rare name you want to transfer to your main. Good luck.

So step basically says 1. Change rare accounts name. So basically I change the name of the rare account to something random, thus making the rare name privately available to anyone who randomly chooses it (or is it unavailable to anybody for 28 days?).

Step 4 then asks us to change the rare account's name again. So then I change the rare accounts name, that has already been changed to something random once, again to a new random name.

Then once this is done I go to my main and change that name to the rare account's name that I changed 28-30 days prior (back in step one). Just wondering if I got this down straight, since it's kind of a weird system.

 

The rare name becomes unavailable to anyone apart from you, it is still tied to the account as the "last known username"

Once you change the name again to something random, immediately go and change name on your main account.

Also, add my msn about that name you were interested in man. [email protected]
