It's a sad state when we have to essentially beg to pay Blizzard to let us change our names.

Modern gaming is such a huge joke sometimes lol

Its so sad that Im almost at the point where the level of awful that is Battle.net 2.0 doesnt bother me everytime I have to get anywhere near it.

There, did I save you?

Well at least they have us a free name change.

Even though I still feel like I wasted it.

I agree, it's kind of ridiculous to not put in something as simple as name changes. I used the free name change like 1 month after I got the game last august, and have been waiting for like a year now for a stupid paid name change feature. Idk why it takes so long to put in something like name changes.

Don't see how the paying customer is at fault.

Why can't we just have free name changes and options to reset our stats? And support for clans and clan tags?

Why should something like a basic name change require you, the customer, who has already paid $60 to Blizzard for their game, pay them an additional fee?

I appreciate the changes in the PTR to prevent spamming, but these are pretty basic changes that should be in all modern games that can use them

I think someone should formally write up a ticket that involves this name change and post it to the OP so we can be more uniform. Also perhaps throw in the request for replays in party and other features we want too :D

i HAVE to support this thread, it's been said a million times but it's just ludicrous that paid name changes haven't been implemented yet (it's even more ludicrous that they're PAID)

My ticket got a response.

"We understand that you might not have a name you are happy with; fortunately, each StarCraft II account is entitled to 1 Free Name Change. To redeem this Free Name Change, please visit Battle.net Account Management: http://us.battle.net/."

Then they told me if I thought their "naming functionality needs adjustment" to create a thread on the Battle.net forums so I did lol.

Sigh... I will continue to reopen my ticket until I get a legit response.

This is what I wrote:

Dear Blizzard,

About 6 months or more back, you said that you would implement paid name changes soon. But still nothing has been done for this simple feature. I am sorry for my language but wtf is going on. It hurts your company image when you say something but hide behind your own dictionary for the word "soon". Please get a grip.

Oh and btw please don't send a cookie cutter message because I have already seen them posted on TeamLiquid.net. I would like a legit response with substance. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Brood War/SC2 Fan

Well they probably gave you special treatment because you're a (semipro?) known comptetive gamer but I'm going to open another ticket and cite you lol.


Lulz!

Ya I can't understand why they haven't either. Not from a technological or business perspective...I still have my free one though ^^

Blizzard, where a single update query takes 6 months to implement and costs money to perform.
The only other companies that could pull such stupid crap to customers are Microsoft, Google and Apple.

I badly want a name change too, but since I have to wait for 6 months for the option to be available AND I have to pay money for a simple column change in a database I doubt I will ever use it out of sheer protest.

I cant see the reason for paying for a name change. In WC3/BW i could make as much accounts as i wanted to and change my server region.

Ok i can live with the fact that in sc2 i have to stay in my region AND have only one account. But i dont see the point in paying for a name change.

That is one of the reasons why i hate blizzard sometimes. I thought they would care about their gamers as one of the last developers...but i was wrong.
