Ok, so I'm pretty positive two different times I've bought orbs for my name. Checked in my settings because I haven't used it in a while. Only gives me the option to buy. Am I missing somewhere on settings? Or is it not permanent when you buy it?

It is permanent. If can remember around what time you got it could check gold logs to verify.

That's what I'm currently doing. Thank you.

Orbs, just like stars are a permanent feature (once purchased)
