[quote]It changes everyone's name to an ID code instead - so that if you ban a player with one name, they can't return with another. The same applies for whitelisted players and opped players too. Names are still unique however - someone has to change their name for you to pick it.[/quote]
Why not just allow duplicate names? Users are going to have ID numbers so it shouldn't matter what their display name is.

It shouldn't be hard to add in a function to slap on a number at the end of the duplicate user name like Steam does.
Besides, most servers have some kind of event log running on their servers to see who did what. Once this rolls out it shouldn't be hard for those loggers to be updated to use the IDs.
They could just make the name-changing system the same as how Runescape does it.
Finally, I can change my name to something way less gay. I wish I could log in with said name, too. I just want my whole account name changed.
