Interesting observation about the side effects of the name changing update from Icey Dan. While I am pretty happy with that update (as I am sure most of the players), I do feel somewhat uneasy about a score of unfamiliar names in my friends list too. But I hope, it'll pass with time.
P.S. While everybody is rushing to complete the Blood Runs Deep quest I finally went through the Temple of Sennitisten and liked it tremendously. Barrows was easy, as I used to do it a lot, but the ice fortress proved to be a very formidable place and a nice riddle too. Now I feel like cursing some KBDs :-)

Thank u very much for the link to my blog! i didn't expect that!
OMG tell me about it. My friend's list is always a bone of contention, because people in Canting want to use the cc for lootshare. If they're not on my friends list, they can't. Hence I'm constantly looking to purge it, when I can weed out yet another old/banned/second account from one of my friends.
How do I do that when names keep changing? >.<
You think that is bad, try running a clan cc with the constant name changes.....It's chaos.
I never know who anyone is....

Changing names is really has its effect on me. My really good friends have changed their names in i dont even recognize them anymore. They message me and im like, wow, how did i meet this person, but then i remember that my friend has changedd his name everymonth. i have to ask sometimes wat some of my friends names were. it really confuses me.
It makes it hard to track botters in RSC when they can change their name...
When the name change first came out I made a post about the sadness of losing a friend from your friends list, although not losing the friend but the name change making it appear as if they have gone.
When the name change thing came out 50% of my friends changed their name, the following month 90% of them had changed back.
I agree the ability is a good move but I do forget who is who when they change it for a second time, perhaps easier to remember for the friends you keep in regular contact with.
