Problem?
My family found it difficult to sign up for accounts due to past usernames being locked, I think for newer players as Roblox has been growing it has been difficult to find new usernames and some users I’ve seen been taking these usernames and hoarding them. I think it’s unfair to new players and other people who could’ve wanted one of these but were unable to have them.
Solution?
Users would be given three attempts to switch in and out of a past username as their current username. If they decide not to use it after three tries, they would no longer be able to reuse it. After one month, any unused previous username would become available to the public.
If Roblox was able to fix this then it would improve more locally available usernames, this platform has been online for so long that I think it’s becoming too hard to find new usernames without spamming a bunch of keys.
I mean, it is a good idea buuut usernames on roblox work like digital real estate, once taken, they dont cycle back quickly because people might still be recognized under those names…
Maybe a fair compromise could be a cooldown or recycling system for inactive accounts (eg. Admin, coolkid, ext..) instead of trying to limit how many times someone can change their name. that way, new players could actually get decent usernames (and not cool_kid63827) without punishing people who like customizing theirs
Personally, I think you should be able to request the opening of a username, with certain restrictions of course. Such as the account not having been active for the past 1-2 years, or not having over 500 visits on games total. I’d love if people could make usernames still which wouldn’t reveal some sort of personal information to be unique, assuming NameSnipes didn’t steal that also.
