EPTYou need to email support and say you want to change servers because your moving to EU and they will do it. Play on EU for about a week or 2 and then email them back again saying that you are done working oversees and want to move back to NA server, the support guy then told me that this will be my last change and he will reactivate my old account. When my original NA account was back i saw that i had another free name change!

And where the hell is that clan support they mentioned a LONG time ago? The only good thing about bnet 2.0 is the match making system, everything else seems to be lacking. It almost seems like they went backwards. /rant | ||

Well apparently When it comes to name changes, in the rare case that someone gets one after they have used their free one, this typically involves people who have by accident used their real information, or they put something that is blatantly offensive. is the reason illusion was allowed to change his name or Blizzard is bullshit. They also said that me calling out that a customer service representative that didn't even notice that I stated I had already used my free name change These kinds of comments are considered non productive, and can limit our ability to help you. TL;DR Blizzard says illusion had an innappropriate name and that I'm not supposed to hurt their felllow employees feelings even if they apparently didn't even read my request. WTF | ||

When I played WoW I spent and extra 50$ on server transfers and 30$ on name changes. There should be no reason for them not to implement this I spent like $250 on transfers/faction changes Never spent anything on a name change although I would probably abuse the fuck out of that in SC2 obligatory makes no sense comment | ||

* I am under the understanding this is whining that we cant get a free name change [forever] rather than whining about wanting to pay for it, right? A few people in this thread seem to think contrarily and im confused. | ||

First off I used this site's instructions to a T: http://hijinksinc.com/2010/08/05/how-to-change-your-battle-net-name-in-starcraft-2/ and it's over a year old now and it worked for me. So that tells you this is the way it needs to be done. Read that first, understand the format, and go from there. Understand they have no name changing format, understand they will not credit your account with 1 free name change again, they as a Blizzard employee will change it manually. Give them all the information they need in the original ticket so they don't have to waste time sending messages back and forth. -------------------------- Justin Greetings, I am requesting the chance to change my battle.net account name. My current battle.net starcraft 2 name has my old "clan/gaming team" name in front of my gaming handle which is just 'Nizzy'. At the time of this name change in November I did not know how rare they would be. I thought paid name change would be implemented by now. I am requesting to have a name change, and I promise I will never change my handle again. I want to be known just as "Nizzy". If I join a clan I will wait until clan support on battle.net is ready and show that I'm in a clan that way, while still being just "Nizzy." xiNizzy -> Nizzy Thanks for understanding and your time. A) Your Full name as it appears: Justin (real full name that you see on battle.net real ID) B) Battle.net account name: justin########@gmail.com C) Your Current Character Name: xiNizzy D) Your Character Code (Which may be verified by scrolling over your character portrait with your mouse): 652 E) Five character names that you would be happy with typed out exactly how you wish them to appear: 1 - Nizzy -------------------------- You'll get the email saying 24 hours blah blah, I woke up in the morning after doing this at like midnight to a changed name! I was so shocked I logged into battle.net so fast. -------------------------- Ikarimekki Customer Service Representative Account Name: SC21 Old Character Name: xiNizzy New Character Name: Nizzy As a special courtesywe have changed your StarCraft II character name. When you next login, your name should be selected.  If you have additional questions or concerns, please reply to this ticket. If you would rather speak with a representative directly, please contact Account & Technical Services. Our contact information can be found at -------------------------- Justin Ikarimekki, You are the fastest CSR for Blizzard Entertainment in history! MY name is now changed! Thank you so very much for changing my account name so fast. Why are you working at 11PM on a Monday night in California? I thought Blizzard Representatives were only open until like 8PM. Thank you thank you thank you! Too fast <3 This means so much to me, even though its such a small change. I recently started streaming myself playing SC2 off and on 7 days a week. www.twitch.tv/nizzysc2 I am a top 8 Masters Solo/2v2 Terran player. Message me at Nizzy.757 on battle.net and I will be happy to provide you with some training if you are not high masters or greater and interested. You're the best, Thanks.Take care! -------------------------- Customer Service Representative Thanks for the update! I am glad to hear that everything is fine. If you have additional questions or concerns, please reply to this email. If you would rather speak with a representative directly, please contact Account & Technical Services. Our contact information can be found at http://blizzard.com/support/article/cs -------------------------- Good luck everyone, however please realize they probably have some sort of form/system that they have to fill out and log into for these changes to happen on the backside. Give them all the information at once so it might only take them a few clicks. I bet you do have to get lucky with which representative/what time. Why was this guy working so late? Maybe he's some hardcore Tier 3 CSR that was staying late and knocking a bunch of tickets out. Please note that I believe there's a better chance of getting your name change if you have a clan tag infront of your name. If you just want to change your handle you might have a tough time doing so. | ||

This shouldn't be a paid for feature at all. That is insane amounts of greed. Like you've said yourself, there is no effort involved in this process whatsoever. | ||

Though they probably would make more money in the long run if they just charged people for it so I'm not sure what's taking so long. | ||

Do you have some bizarre desire to change your name in real life? Are you Hank and next month you feel like being called David and next month you feel like being called Bob? | ||

The reason why they're holding out against name change is probably the same reason why the held out against name change in WoW. Even now there's a cool down for how often you can change your name. The reason is so that people keep a name that other players can identify them by. Do you have some bizarre desire to change your name in real life? Are you Hank and next month you feel like being called David and next month you feel like being called Bob? Joining a different team is a main one. Sense blizzard doesn't have clan support and a lot of players want to represent their teams then if something goes wrong and they want to go back to what they were before they can't. of course you don't seem to understand but a lot of people like representing their teams whether its some top tier player or a lower tier player. Just how it is and shouldn't be seen as bad if they want to change their name back to whatever it was before they joined a team. | ||
