"Famous" Rank

I can think of a lot of people who would benefit from the /nick command but of course don’t meet the requirements for a partner rank. This is where a sort of “famous” rank would be suited.

The famous rank would be a rank you could apply for which, quite simply, gives you access to the nick command and that’s it. No red name, no access to cosmetics, simply the ability to use the nick command. It should be impossible to tell if someone has this rank or not just by looking at them in a friends list or in hub.

This could be useful for YouTubers or Streamers who are nearing the Partner rank but aren’t quite there, general celebrities/well known people etc. + it wouldn’t take away from the Partner ranks as there is no “glory”, if you will, from having it as no one would know by looking.

Having it be an applied rank would also mean that you can limit the amount of people you wish to have it and also mean you can carefully select who you think best suits owning it compared to if it was a purchasable rank for example.

I know the chances of this being added are quite slim, but for someone like me who gets recognised often in lobbies yet not anywhere near the Partner rank, it would be a lifesaver to be able to nick when trying to record or stream sometimes.

yes but i think this is a dupe

I know a lot of people have asked for a Mini YT rank, but all I would want is access to nick and no other kind of perks, because I literally get targeted so much right now lol

It will be for sure useful for you because when someone sees you in the hub they immidatky says screening or something like this. And also the Mini. YT is a good idea, but too many people would have it.

Solutions to not get targeted

  • Make alt

You want more subs to get YT rank but you get targetted so much?

  • Make alt and make videos

I like the way it is now !

You forgot, small creators can misuse the /nick command. Also if this rank is miniversion of current YT rank, Abusers will get it easily to access. !!

That’s why it should be a rank that you’d have to apply for ie. Hive would have to approve for you to get it. And no, it’s not a mini version of YT, it’d be just a rank for nicking, you don’t need to correlate it with YT.

Not everyone wants to play on an alt
Switching to alt accounts can be time consuming on certain devices.
You shouldn’t have to be forced to play on a completely different account just so you can enjoy playing the game.

The name is but the idea isn’t.

Ok can i just say having it called famous rank is silly.
Under 5k subs is far from famous and secondly, no celebrities are joining hive and if they do they aren’t making facebook posts on it and they likely aren’t going to get swarmed.

Only a small subset of players (partners) have access to nicknaming, and this is very closely monitored.

Without going into it too much, we are simply unable to make this feature more widely available, mostly for player safety reasons.
