So SL are looking to trial a new system on of display names so that you don't have to just have your account name as the display name in the box above your head under the Viewer system your using....great especially for people who have partnered others and wish to share it with the world! Personally this is a feature I think has been missing for ages and it still displays by the sound of it your original name in your profile so this will have the added bonus of making people read profiles which has to be good for everyone I would have thought especially for Role Play areas when important information in your profile would be handy to know like limits and so on!
Currently however it appears it is being trailed on SLV2 only but well watch this space I am sure others will follow! Read up is below on the link!

this works only on the test grid, and i would think it horrible to come true for the real main grid.
ReplyDeleteBugs that have been shown are, for example:
anyone can name themselves now "Selina Winterwolf" for example. Then copy your shape and act like you..perfect impersonating?
Also "Linden" is a banned word, btu "linden" is not. So, a griefer impersonating "Whoever linden" hunting newbies? Confusion perfect!
Actually this is a very good point and well made YT will be interesting to see how this pans out and how LL deal with it!
