The whole no clan support in the new bnet really boggles my mind. They had in WC3 and it worked it was pretty good. Would it be so difficult to import a similar system?

This is shitting me so much, how are they not even planning to implement this???

Well that's silly. No plans in the works at all? I was thinking at worst it would come with HotS. They should really have paid name change and clan tag support by now.

Though I prefer to stay far away from the bnet forums, I made my way over there to post in the thread. Hopefully this one actually gets their attention, but I feel like there have been threads like it before already

This really annoys me. First they mention in the past they were working to get name change and clan support going and now they are telling us to basically beg them a year later when people gave up expecting these features. WTF? The community was very vocal about the name change and always supportive of having a clan system in place. Shouldn`t THEY know what the community wants? Since I don`t think they blindly created the game and ignored the fanbase. Its just weird that we have to start petitions and all this crap just to get b.net 2.0 to add some meaningful features. I thought they were continually going to add more features.

dude i don't want to have to PAY just to change my name it should be free, I am very very very against this movement. Letting blizzard charge me for something that should be simply free is a bad precedent to set and will harm the future of all blizzard titles, including the popularity of sc2.

This is basically how I feel. It's ridiculous to start up WC3 and have more options and an easier to understand and access social interface when it's 8 years older than Starcraft 2. One thing I am against though is the ability to make endless smurf accounts for free. There are enough problems with people doing these sorts of things already. Just because some pay money to do it, doesn't mean there aren't thousands more who would do it if it was free.

Wow yeah this is so stupid. The best way to implement name change would be to have one available once a month or something like that.

I cannot support this. Im not paying for something so trivial when they wont even take the time to fix their shitty interface. Even small companies like s2 work hard to make improvements on their interface.

What they should be doing is adding paid name changes with a restriction (once a month?), and a free clan-tag system, preferably with a full featured clan system. That way a player can join a clan without needing to use a paid name change, so names would be generally be changed around less (if your gonna have to change your name, some people would just change their whole name rather than just change the clan tag part of it), but you could freely move from clan to clan. Of course, the reason I suggest a full featured clan system is that a clan leader could have the responsibility of OKing the clan tag change when joining a clan, keeping people from just sticking whatever they want in their clan tag, and it would also pave the way for a system of clan owned rooms with administrative privileges similar to what was present in the older battle.net.

"Blizzard to add name change if people show support."

I'm all for it! :DDDD

"Blizzard to add paid name change if people show support."

How about fuck off. It should be like in the beta where you have an account name and a display name except allow you to change your display name however you like.

Sorry but id like to know where the fk all the money is going if not to enhance their products. TBH if they had clan support there would be absolutely zero need for anyone to change their name. Id be willing to fight for clan support but not if its paid clan support.

the only reason i support paying name changes is based off the assumption that they wouldn't simply do it for free, since that's how WoW is, even if the idea of paying to change a name when i play steam games where i can change my name at will is completely retarded.

Blizzard will do it if enough people ask for it. Until then its not on their list of priorities as they have A LOT to do. I have been trying to get one for a while and talked to several employees about it however there is a lot of bureaucracy involved and won't happen any time soon unless the community demands it. Good initiative!

Employees DO read the forum and if enough people keep asking it will be discussed.

the game warns you that the name you choose is permanent, maybe ya'll should have thought about your names when you picked them

(and yes i realize there was a short window at launch where it didn't, but we all got free name changes)
