Don't worry doomsayers, it's not the end of the world. No, it won't be abused. No, they don't need to show the persons old name either. People can already change their names if they want to.
It would be abused, its abused now, but has a consequence: You're on another server. If you can name change with no consequence, then there gunna be a hefty amount of abuse. That said, since your Lodestone ID never changes, people can find out your "old name" easily, my site even tracks people who hop server and name change, I just don't display it. Yet.
