Font Support / Wizard Name Changes

Hello, KingsIsle. Throughout all my years of playing this game, I've been left scratching my head as to why you guys chose Comic Sans MS as your font. I personally believe it's a very poor design choice. I didn't even like it when I was a kid, it just seems too simple for things that shouldn't be so. I find myself saying things that should be cool, but looking at the font alone just makes me feel like I have no idea what I'm talking about. If Wizard101 could have a setting to change the font, have a different font altogether, or even SUPPORT the changing of fonts, it could become a game that's much easier on the eyes, if you ask me.

Another topic I'd like to suggest is the ability to change your wizard's name. This is something that's been on my mind since my second year of playing your awesome game. After beating Nightshade, I thought to myself "Why did I even pick this name?" I am absolutely 100% sure other players could agree with me and would be fine with spending a little money to change their names, as it's a very important thing. The feature could have a 1-Year cooldown, a pay requirement, or even a "First One's Free" thing like you did with Training Point Respecs. Payment can be done with a specified amount of crowns, but since I'm starting to bore you, I won't delve into specifying this price range for you.
With players using unoriginal names like "Luke Skywalker", I'm sure there are no problems with names being duplicates. This is a huge opportunity for you beautiful developers over at KingsIsle and a huge opportunity for your beautiful fanbase as it could attract veteran players who wanted to have a different name WITHOUT creating a new wizard, starting all over again in the process. As for players not knowing who is who, a notification process could be implemented, letting players know who changed their name, and to what they changed it to. I really hope the developers see this magnificent suggestion and also hope for the actual implementation of these wonderful features.

Yours,

Kyle Sunweave (?)
