How do i make a new minecraft account name without buying the game again?

  • #1 Aug 29, 2014

    I've brought an account on minecraft but im wondering if i can make another one without buying the game again, is that possible? i've tried to create a new profile and changed my name but i logged into a server and it kept my old minecraft username. Sorry if this is confusing i can clarify it if you want me to >.<

    No, you can't. One username per account. You have to buy another account to get another username. But if you talking about changing your name, Mojang has plans within the couple months to release to the a service to change your name for a price.

    Oh, well that seems stupid of mojang. People would change their name then all the username combos would go down dramatically. Tons of usernames would get taken.

    Sure, you can make a new account, but if you don't buy the game again the new account will be a demo account and you don't get to choose a name until you buy the game on it.

    That...doesn't make sense at all...
    There are already tons of names taken. Constant new accounts are being made and taken yet there are always more names available. As far as you and me know, there is an infinite amount of usernames available.
