i can't see any reason to not make this .. anyone know the reason? pokerstars pros and famous player, can keep their screenames if they want, so railbirds can follow them.
could be something liek this: you can change your screename at every 500k vpp points you receive. or maybe every 1million points, so one benefits of SNE would be one change screename. or maybe make it more hard, you only change your sne if you hit 3million vpp...i dont know how would be a good number, but im sure this idea would be very good for both players and pokerstars.
damn games would be a lot better.
you don't know what you are talking about.. Be thankful for the current system and be glad there aren't any name changes on ftp/stars. I use to think more like you; was a fan of name changing or the idea of it. Not after playing on sites like this for some time.
Constant name changing definitely doesn't create more action. People will steal players' old usernames. Figuring out who each new screen name is every month and then trying to find old notes on them is a huge inconvenience. Building reads on players and the concept of "history" pretty much goes out the window, especially if the player pool is large enough.
When people come to pokerstars, they want to play with names they recognize, (urubu111, isildur1, mrsweets28, etc.). If you want this great system, then go play on some of the ****ty sites that offer it.
