Yes. I don't think the name changes should be paid. Then again if people were changing their name every day that could become an issue. So it sorta has to be paid. Also when the expansion comes out will we have to buy it for all our accounts if they are on the same server? If anyone knows pm me.

Although this is almost childish, I guess that's what we have to resort to when, as a community, we bring up a problem that is then quickly forgotten.
I'm in full support of this, half of the most simple, basic functions I wish this game had, it doesn't, and it annoys the hell out of me at times, although, I don't support paid name changes, the function should be enabled for free.
I already paid for this game, and I should be entitled to whatever name I please, this isn't xbox live, and it shouldn't try to be.

Was that bash even necessary or relevant? Sheesh downplay much.

Im confused on how HotS would handle this. Without infrastructure for name changes do we really keep our accounts as they hop over? Do we get another free 1 Namechange per copy? Would acti-blizzard be evil enough for us to require WoL accounts for HotS multi?

You can just have a clan support feature, which would fix most of the problems. Anyway, I'm sort of frustrated that they haven't implemented the name change, but whatever it's just a game

The transactions page for my wow account that detailed character transfers etc was truly depressing. Although as I have had my TL name changed shortly after I joined, naturally I'm wanting my name changed ingame also.

Should have been more careful with my free one I suppose I'm of the opinion that you can spam up their inboxes all you want with disgusted messages, soon is still soon for Blizzard

No I was just asking and someone answered at the top of the page. It does kinda suck if you have a clan tag if that is the case.

This is probably way against the ToS, + Show Spoiler +
but if you have a bunch of your friends report your name, sometimes they'll just let you change it. Definitely not the right way to go about it, but uh... it works.

They should really reconsider how many people they hire to take care of this game. If they can't even provide servise which is basically working now (1 change) and for which they would get money.

The fact that you may have to pay for a name change ingame is just silly, really.

Well it fits, because the person who was behind xbox live designed battle.net .2

Thus, we are full circle.

Edit : Cant believe we are asking to be charged for a feature that should of been free in the first place, =\

You want to pay for a Name change?
I'm sorry but it's already outrageous that Blizzard doesn't let you change your name whenever you want.

If there seriously is something that would get messed up if you could change your name unlimited amount of time, they should AT LEAST let you change your name before a new season.

If people are willing to pay money for a simple name change, what comes next?
Extra paying if you want to use the ladder? Pay for playing cross server? (oh wait, you already have to do that, but imagine they would be capable of adding that feature)
Pay if you want to use additional Bnet features such as DND etc.?

What would stop them from adding additional fees for every little feature?
It makes me seriously angry first of all that costumers even consider paying for such things,
but the service that blizzard provides makes me even more angry, because it's lacking and just terribad.

I guess its to expected. Gaming companies nowadays just want to nickle and dime you for shit that would be free. Things that should be already in the game are viewed as a fucking commodity, it baffles my fucking mind.

SC2 just gets more disappointing. First there were no chat channels during beta, then the issues with no lan lat fucking up major tournaments, and now theres the issue of people being spammed channel invites and lagging them out of games.

SC2 as a game I generally like, there are some things that bothered me but generally blizzard has done good with the patches. They completely dropped the fucking ball and let it shatter though when it came to bnet 2.0.

For the record, name changes should be free, and I think you should be able to have more then one SC2 account for a $60 game you paid for. Dunno how you can argue in blizzards favor, this isnt fucking WoW.

what can i say - im fine with my name - and if you are a casual player, well 1 free namechange should be enough hehe.

anyhow, for pros with different teams - this is not acceptable - considering the whole "sc2 is esports" thing

hell i have no choice in the matter im signing this, because one day i will have an SC2 computer again, and in order to pwn face and fuckin become progamer, i need my wishbones back. (lent the account to friend let her reset the name using free name change) so im signing this asap. Not joking kids. When i get an sc2 comp expect the name wishbones to be famous
