Yeah agreed, I like the concept of "known" players and recognizable names that don't change frequently. A clan tag system is needed though for players who switch teams.


They could implement things such as previous aliases like Steam did so you can see what their name used to be.

The only reason I didn't change my name was because I only had one name change available, and saved it incase I joined a clan in the future, which did eventually happen.

There is absolutely no reason why Blizzard should not have name change and clan tags implemented. Many if not all competitive games include these features, and Battle.net 1.0 was so amazing back then because it was one of the first that could do those things.

It takes them nothing to add this feature. The delay could be Blizzard considering whether or not the community is gullible enough to actually pay for name changes like WoW players.
Their laughably transparent "plan" is to hold off so it seems like the players are being granted features as time goes on when really this should have been a part of Battle.net from the start.

Let's be honest. Blizzard released the 1 free name change shortly after the games release... keyword here is shortly. It is well within their capability to implement a paid/unpaid name change service. Why they havnt done it yet is anybodys guess.

Implementation of clan/name change would be nice, albeit I would most probably not use it much myself. That is, in case I never get accepted into a clan, because I do not think that I want to change my name.

Im not entirely sure what blizzard expected to happen when they said it would be soon - I just thought I'd wait. What happened to the days when you could /name?

if this change were to be implemented. Would this mean I could have an infinite amount of smurf accounts on only one game key?

No, because you're changing a single name not creating new profiles. And everything account based like stats and campaign completion, etc, would be attached to the account itself and not the actual name. If Blizzard is smart, anyway.

Yes their is a minor annoyance in not being able to tell a player on your friends list who has changed their name. But is that annoyance greater than the annoyance someone who wants to change their name feels not being able to change it?

Id be happy with a name change system, When the game was first released they didn't have a confirmation screen when you entered your name so my free name change was used to just spell my name right
Patch 1.1.4 Fixed an error where players were playing games with more then two bases on a certain map

What about both? Name-change you can pay for and infinite clan changes? Wouldn't even need a tag as part of your name. GunZ had what seemed to be good clan support to me, when you joined a new team it would list your clan next to your name (in-game), so your name wouldn't change, but your clan would.

I seriously don't understand why they don't have this ability in place. Like every major game allows it in some form. They can charge a certain amount of money and make it well worth their time. Common Blizzard, get with it! It's just a relatively small but VERY important detail!

its so lame that blizzard would tell us that name change will come, never brings it, and then claims that there never was a demand for it. Its like you mom walking up to you and saying "im makin pancakes for you!" and you reply "sweet..i do enjoy a pancake covered in scrumptious maple syrup" and then 2 hours later u walk up and ask her "where are those pancakes? i was looking forward to eating them!" and she replys "welll...u never walked into the kitchen and TOLD me that u wanted pancakes so i never made them".....cmon blizzard.....make the damn pancakes
