Hi, so... like the title says, there isn't a place to edit my display name where it should be under my username. There's only my username and obviously that isn't editable. Help? Please?

Terribly sorry for the people I've been RPing with, serious real life events have caused me to be distracted. Once it's all sorted out and I can return and commit to roleplays again, I will.

You cannot change your display name yourself. You can PM an admin to do it for you, but it had better not be on a whim ;)
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

You used to be able to; I think disabling that feature is a relatively recent change.
Thank you, fellow Elliquiyan, and have a wonderful day.

It was disabled January of this year.

Why was it changed?

Cause people were changing their names too much and confusing and annoying the rest of us.

I think it may have been because during the holiday seasons such as mid-winter and halloween and some others a lot of people changed their user names to seasonal ones, or seasonal versions. This was okay when it started because only a few people did but after the trend became more popular there were long chunks of time when many users simply had no idea who people were, avatars being changed too in most cases. It was fun, though unfortunately counter-productive.

I hope I have got this accurate, it's only my guessumption though, so I would like to be corrected if I'm wrong.

I don't recall if there was another discussion in On Topic made about the issue, but there might well have been.
