I agree with this, I took a break from the game and when I came back so many of my friends changed their names and I thought my account was hacked into, etc... Anyway, I didn't make it a big deal, but I'm sure if someone on my friends list didn't want me to know they had a name change so I wouldn't figure out who they are... then they wouldn't be on my friends list. A lil alert would be nice haha
