    Account renames
    • Each time you logon a check will be done to see if there are any other players with the same uuid.
    • Prior account records will have a few fields cleared:
      • uuid
      • donor rank
      • money
    • If your current playername does not yet have a database record then one will be created and these fields will be copied from your prior account
      • class
      • quest xp
      • forum username
      • donor rank
      • chat tag
      • money
    • Plot ownership and town status will not be updated. You'll have to resolve that on your own within your town.
    I went through our open /tickets and manually repaired any accounts that requested rename assistance. In case we run into any trouble with pre-existing renamed accounts, I queried for all accounts that currently have duplicate IDs and captured a list of username, donor status, uuid, balance, and class. Please contact me if you have an account you've already renamed and are having troubles with it.

    All future account renames should have the aforementioned repair server done automatically upon login with the new name.

    Would mall owners fall under "Plot ownership"?

    Worldguard runs with uuid now, so it "should" update your name to the mall shop automatically. The part that I believe won't update, is the chest shop itself. You won't be able to edit the signs in the shop or destroy them. As well as any sales will go to the original name.

    So I suggest clearing the shop out first, then changing your name, then setting up shop again.

    I briefly had a post here telling you that renaming to a name that had already been used before was unsupported. While i still highly frown upon this action, i did add support for it. The values on the old account name will be overwritten by the values on the most recently-used name by the uuid.

    example:
    original name: abc
    renamed to: def
    renamed to: ghi
    renamed to: abc​

    in this situation, abc will be overwritten with the data from ghi.

    Yes, btarb is working right now to convert current plots to uuid from names so they will.

    Yes, that's pretty much what Btarb said with the sequence. Your data is carried over through each name change.

    original name: abc
    renamed to: def
    renamed to: ghi <- This is you now.
    renamed to: abc <- This would be your original name, but with the data from you now.

    Many thanks,
    Seph
