I have been waiting for a long time for the name change update and so far it has not come out the just mentioned it on the 1.7.9 update post saying "We have pushed out an update that supports name changes, however we will not allow name changes until a future date. For information on how name changes will work, please see these frequently asked questions"-Mojang When is the "Future date" or is it that my computer can't get plz comment and plz inform me when is this "Future Date" Mojang is talking about.
Can I already change my name? Where do I go? Will it cost? How often can I do it? We will enable name changing when we feel that enough users are using 1.8 or higher, so that servers have time to switch to the new player formats. We do not have any details on how name changes will be performed or any restrictions that will be required to actually perform a name change. We want it to be easy and freely available, but we also don’t want people changing their name every 5 minutes!
They're not lying There is a difference between releasing and supporting. Mojang has released background code to give a platform to name changes. Most of the stuff they did was change how players are sorted. Instead of a player listed as "noch" the player would be assigned a number id like"42" So names just become facades for the number tag.

Adding support in 1.7.5 but not yet allowing name changes was done early enough that people can change their name when 1.8 comes and not lose everything they have if they choose to continue using a 1.7.5+ server.
Mojang will not allow name changing until they feel "enough" people have switched over to 1.8 full version. So, probably about 2-3 months after 1.8 gets released.
Thanks

Because it's just asking if you want name changes.
This new forum format is killing me.
It doesn't.
Example: noob makes username Herobrine254. Gets hate for username. Changes it to something like TwinPeaks2. No longer gets hate!
((btw I know you weren't asking I just had to say something for dissenters.))
