    Name change + Friend list How will it work?

    In 2.0 if they allow Name change, How will they deal with people's friend list? This has me confused but i do like to change my name, just wanting to know if there be someway to tell who's who on FL.

    It will probably just change the name on your friends list, They have the technology.

    If they can change the names, as stated it would probably change every instance of a reference to said name.
    Who knows if they will be able to though.

    I hope the FL system changes, i hate the current one i keep meeting ppl who add me and bother me when i don't want them too, cause they can add me to FL w/o my consent.

    In their database every player also have a unique ID number. (That's how databases work)

    When you open your friend list, what you see is the names of your friends but in reality what is stored on the server is the unique ID of all your friends. So if some name change, the game server will still find them with that ID
