name change question.....plz read

[xantor]

I've been thinking of changeing my name. I've never done it before so I have some questions.do I keep friends in list? Will it let me check availability of the name I would like to change to and if its taken can I decline and keep my plat? Or if its takein will I just be out of the plat just to keep my current name? Thanks in advance for leaving feed back.

yes to friends question
for availability, you can add you name to your friends list, then if it says it doesn't exist, it's available. If it says you sent a request, then it isn't available

I tried a name that was taken. It just says its taken and sends you back to the splash screen. (doesnt charge you plat). you just click name change again (says it costs 50 plat) and try again. It wont charge you until its successful. (took me 4 tries.)
