Messing with Display Names (second.life)

A new feature for Second Life allows you to change your name. Here I mess with a bit and show an example of how it currently distinguishes name impersonation.

It's currently only available on the Beta grid with a special viewer. The final production version will limit you to one name change per week.

If you'd like to comment on this feature where Linden will see it, go here:

Hey Adeon...Are yu in TSL? Because i remember someone who i knew who had the name ''Adeon Writer' :P But that was like. Around Last october. (sadly a newbie had the guts to ban me somehow. but don't worry i'll be back :3)

@TheGameBoyTV I joined SL when I was 19 (23 now), so no I've never been to the teen grid.

Do (or will) radars show the real username or they'll show the custom display name?

[AdeonWriter]

@tiolocmcgrock Radars, and all current LSL scripts, will ignore Display names entirely. New script functions to get a person's display name are available for new scripts if people wish to use them.
