    From what I've been able to find, in the original game, players could only choose their Sitekick name a single time. Perhaps at a later point renaming was an option, but I couldn't find much data on it.

    The benefit of allowing less renames is that players will become attached to their Sitekick, similar to a pet (You wouldn't give your dog a new name every other day!). The disadvantage of less renames is that players can no longer use it for communication with the community.

    However, now that we have the YAP! Message boards, all players are able to login at any point and message another user, so we no longer need to rely on Sitekick names for communication.

    The results of this poll will help us decide on how to handle this going forward, but it will not guarantee one outcome or another. Comments are very welcome.

      I honestly like the idea of unlimited renames. It can be kinda cool to name your Sitekick based on the theme you've chosen for it. I know that Azuly had his named Caesar when he made his Sitekick look like Julius Caesar, so I think it adds a nice personal touch!

        Also, perhaps maybe that's a way devs could hide codes? 👀

          I like having no changes to the account name, but having changes for the sitekick name seems more useful. I named mine SK DK in reference to Donkey Kong after using the gorilla chips, so having that name with a different looking sitekick doesn't really hit the same way.

            Unlimited. Flavour of the week for my taste, like James said - I rename my SK as the theme I go for most times so I change it as I go.

              I like the idea of multiple times but I never gave the sitekick name much weight. I don't recall ever being able to rename your sitekick. I don't think you could see other sitekicks names anyway?
