Name-Changes are a bit of a letdown
People you delete from your contacts will still know your character's name because the game doesn't remove them from THEIR contact lists... It even goes so far as to reflect the name-change!
Oh well. I guess I'll just adopt an after-death policy. Guess I'll just have to treat my old character's contacts as new encounters and not admit to any past memories. Anything to keep that old name dead dead.
For a company that's all about privacy of the player, you sure make some crazy arbitrary decisions. I can't kill off my character properly.
Oh and I can post and delete messages on my own profile but I can't delete posts from others on my profile. Good job on that, not! xD

Not allowing deletion on your profile is annoying, though. In fact, this whole system seems to have less freedom compared to older forum.
At the very least it could have 'not changed the name' listed on the friendslists of players who hoard the names of people who deleted them so that I could at least keep some level of honor in this character's death. It worked on the mailbox recipients from what I could tell, why not friendslists of people you deleted? Eyyy!! You missed a spot!!!! xD
The whole point is to keep people from 'trying to get back into contact' a decade later, which usually ends badly even if you WERE very close friends before.
Pretend you sold your account to a new player and feign ignorance. Remember to change your typing/emote habits, too, as one can sometimes recognize players purely based on their speaking mannerism.
Pretending to sell account would be a risky move especially if there are people who know you that you are not too friendly with.
I know, I was kidding.
Currently, I am not too worried about being found out but there's always that possibility that someone will start trying to contact all of their dead contacts, or realize that there's a player still running around and put two-and-two together.
All I can say is, 'well dangit!'
I would expect people to change at least some over the span of a decade... usually and preferably for the better of course.
I mean it's not like you must have been some extremely and incredibly heinous criminal or something before... right, Right, RIGHT!? O_O
Just kidding... I am not actually trying to put you on-the-spot or anything. That was just a... pretend-interrogation... ;o
you know its a rough interrogation when both y'all's are sweating :P
