The whole name change thing I can see as not important but I think clan tags are a huge deal.

I think the reason they are stalling name changes is that they want some new content to release with the upcoming expansions. If they made vanilla SC2 awesome, then ppl couldn't get excited for new content coming from the expansions.

there should be unlimited name changes for something cheap like $1 but we should be able to make new accounts for free just like the good old days for smurphing and itll let pros hide their strats when running customs etc especially w the new build order thing.

By making a bunch of smurf accounts, it would totally destroy the ladder system, imagine if HuK were to make 10 smurfs accounts all in grand master, or high master etc.

most if not all pros already have several accounts, $1 is way to cheap for blizzard the cash cow wow even charged like $15 even though I think it has gone down.

I would just like it to be known that I was "no" 1337 for whether I've used my paid name change. That is all.

Name change means nothing if our record / mmr doesn't change with it. On the other hand, for people in clans, clan tag support / multiple name change would be essential. Can't believe blizzard still has no clan support for this game when its e-sports driven. Everytime someone changes clan they have to make buy a new account to sport the clan tag? Ridiculous. If blizzard doesn't want to implement features that will make people play more (like having different mmr for each race so players can switch race pain-free or allowing an overall mmr reset) then they need to at least support free name-change and clan tags...

I mean the Name change is sth. totally different from the Clantag system. I'd never think about changing my nick, because there is no real reason, but to confuse your online friends or to artificially create a "Clantag". Name change isnt really important to me.

The Clantag system should be free every like 3 months and paid for an earlier change, this would prevent an abuse of the Clantag, but gives u kind of a freedom if you change your clan.

Name change is not the most desired now.. But clan tags are It is funny when people play on accs that have like Virus or something else in their names.
For example VirusElfi when he's in Acer and VirusNaama when he's in Fightline :|

vote for free name change!

what abuse can come from this??? so what if someone changes there name after every game? How does this affect anyone else? It might make things confusing on the ladder.. but who cares?

I never understood how "preventing abuse" was an acceptable excuse on making people pay to change there name in wow.

Sorry wasn't new info to you, but didn't seem to be any mention of it in the thread yet so I decided to add it. The blue post may not say much beyond the usual "we're working on it" but it does give a pretty different message than what the OP is saying.
I can take that responsibility.

When you registered an account you stated your character name (nick) and your personal name. I don't want to change my character name but my personal name. Because my personal name is fake but now I want the world to know my real name.

Open a ticket on battle.net they will almost always change this as long as you can prove you are the original purchaser of the account....
i.e. if your fake name is obviously fake or if you can provide credit card information for the card attached to the account... This is not something that you have to pay for *yet* :-p~ gl man

Blizzard goes by priorities. Nobody really wants these Bnet features. All the community is asking for is more destructible rocks, smaller maps and most importantly new apm measures.

Good bump.

Serioulsy, with those new economics models, there are so many functionalities that should be packed in the game as a service, and yet, we have just the minimum-required. I understand that every little service is now considered as an option, and most of the time, a costing one.

But seriously, WC3 had clan tag and matchmaking, sc1 had better network platform with large chat room, infinite nick change and it's not hard to implement. I feel like we're fooled with the economic approach of blizzard, and many others are taking.

A good platform should have mandatory services packed in it like chat, clan tag, matchmaking, group. If you want a "waouuuh" skin for your marine, it's ok to pay, but not to have some fundametal functionalities like that.

imo it's like , ok I want to buy a car, i go to my carseller and see this beautiful car parked just right here, and it costs 10k. I buy it but oh well, no brakes, no steering-wheel, you know ... it's an option ! And you have to put 3k more on the table to get these usual things on your brand new car. It's just weird in my books.

God, even the Counter Strike Network was better than the Call of Duty one. What the fuck is that...

Ok I stop ranting but i really hope this problem will be one day seriously considered by the video game industry.
