Well they give you one free so as long as they implement Clans support I find this a good news

Why does everything have such a ridiculously dramatic looking OP. They are just offering name change, and the reason it's paid is because, well, someone has to do it manually, and yes they are a business and they like to make money from what they do. We didn't really need 7 paragraphs with a
"history lesson" in such dramatic scale. It's a game, and a game company, and they are trying to make money from it, so what. Did you really want to change your alias 10 times this year? If you did, then you are probably a 12 year old.

I think this is exactly why they don't have Clan tags in Starcraft 2 like they do for other games like Modern Warfare 2 etc. They want people to join a clan and pay to make their name Liquid`soandso for instance.
If they just had a clan tag feature in the game, you could just make your clan tag and change it whenever you need to. But this way they will make a fortune off people who join / leave clans and require name changes!


Only took a few posts for some conspiracy theories! If this was true they wouldn't offer the name change, they would just make you buy a new copy, because the 50 or so progamers that this would even make a difference for currently, REALLY are gonna make millions of dollars for blizzard.

So this is pretty much confirms that we are never going to be able to have multiple accounts (unless they offer it in the form of "Pay 10$ for a brand new character!")

I think a small fee is fine, in fact, good that it discourages abuse. I don't think it will go to far (i.e. maps, other essential aspects to play) for the same reason a P2P system will not work.

But to echo Achillean, when is that actually going to happen? It has now been exactly forever since we first saw: 'Free Name Change Coming SOON'.

Come on now, I don't care if its free or not, make it happen!

i dont really care if people want to change their names.

i get its a money making thing, but w/e. im not sure i'd want people to be able to constantly change their name whenever they wanted.

that being said, it should probably be free but also with a "cooldown".
