Yet another username post

Sharky
I've just had my user name changed because of this awful idea. It changed my name and my posts in all of the servers I've been in because my preferred username was taken already. Then if I try to change my username and just add the discriminator that was already on my account, it says "This discriminator cannot be updated" Okay? Then why have that option in the app in the first place? Discord what the hell is going on? I just want to easily use the name I use online for everything else. You've made it so that I need to go to each and every individual server to change my "server profile". And I'll have to do this every time I join a new server now, too. This is a much worse scenario than just having a simple 4 digit number to remember. You've made my day-to-day experience with Discord much worse. Not just a 1 time thing. This absolutely sucks. I know there are already posts about this. They've reached their comment limit. So I'm here making another one. You need to know how bad of an update this is. I'm a Nitro user from 2015, and I'm considering leaving Discord over this. There are better options now.

    Old accounts did not have complete priority, Discord's staff has been rumored to have reserved names for friends (very new accounts with already the new username system) and for re-sell purposes. Some names already being sold for over $10,000 on websites. Discord needs to either go back now or this will not end well. My nitro subscription will be cancelled as soon as my year plan is over. My account was from oct 2015, I have had nitro for almost a year consecutively and I was the #0001 of my name, yet I did not get my rightful username. 

    Unique Usernames like twitter hase are the worst idea ever and an old concept of the past. let us keep the usernames we want to have instead of being forced to find some arcane name just because every name we try is already taken. My identity is lost if I can't keep my name. I want to keep me discord number! It's like another phone number to me, and I'm even more likely to give this one to friends and family than I am my actual phone number.

    By the way OP, you mentioned there are better options now. Could you get me up to date with those? Please and thank you anyone who took their time to read my rant.

    I paid for 7 years just for my username; finally a reason to cancel Nitro. 

    As a smaller content creator, I can do a complete rebrand as I had everything laid out on my Discord identity. 

    Really feels like someone ripped something out of me. 

    why have you not at least the names for 0001 gesavet? Probably it's fairer to have dead 2015 Discord accounts names sold on the internet.
