    Maybe he means game-suggested names? Like auto-generate?

    No, it's like a different type of usernames, like on twitter and stuff.

    Its like 2 names.

    Your warmerise official username will appear in site (posting,polls etc) and the display name will appear in-game.
    It could be like in roblox too

    You can change display name free every month
    But the name is 50k monthly

    So essentially a handle.

    A nickname, if i'm not wrong. Something like in social medias. You have a username, and also a display name or a nickname by which people refer you. It is a good idea. But I don't think we would have enough spaces to display both the username and the nickname. For example, in the game, the username should be given more importance than the nickname. We can't display both the names at the same time. Hence, nicknames can be only put in the profile which makes it meaningless. I feel like displaying both the names in the game would not be convenient as it would look too packed.

    That actually isnt a terrible idea.

    If users had a permanent identifier, that would make it easier to track users who routinely change their name. Sort of like discord tags being separated from server nicknames

    It does sound like kind of a pain to set up and therefore don't expect it to happen, but I can see the advantages.
