Suggestion: Change Primary Character

Hey Joanna! I agree with this, and asked them months ago if I could switch off the primary character I no longer use and make this one my primary. As I recall the answer wasn't "we won't" but more like "we can't" and I don't recall the details, so I'll be curious if they've found a workaround.

I would like to suggest a feature to allow users to change their primary character from the one they originally created when they created their chatfighters account to one of their alternate characters. For instance, if a person doesn’t tend to use their original primary character anymore, or wants to disable them or delete them, for a variety of possible reasons.

If you want to limit the number of times this can be done to avoid people overusing it, you could easily limit it to once every three months, or something like that.

I understand this would also have implications for a user’s login name, so perhaps a message could come up to inform users that this will change their login name, but that their password will remain the same, and the site could possibly even prompt them to enter their new login name and password to confirm (this would prompt them to save the new login info in their password manager/keychain).

Let me know what you think!
