If you check your account management page on Battle.net, everyone will have 1 more name change. I'm not sure if it stacks to 2 if you haven't used the previous one.. but everyone has another name change!!!
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/4482478
With the introduction of the BattleTag system, we’re in the process of evaluating how they might be integrated into StarCraft II, and how they may impact character names in the future. Instead of making everyone wait until we know how that integration could affect a name change system, we’ve decided to provide an additional free character name change for StarCraft II players eager to pick something else. We appreciate everyone’s continued patience and look forward to sharing more information on the future of the StarCraft II service as it becomes available.
If you'd like to change your character name, log in to Account Management and choose your StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty game license. On your game license screen a "Character Name Change" button at the bottom will initiate the request. After confirming that you'd like to change your character name, simply log in to StarCraft II and you'll be prompted to select a new one.
Thanks to Juicy James for notifying me.

omg so badass. Finally :D
|
YES!! Praise Blizzard that I can now change my name.
Edit: How many characters can your name be? 12 or 13?
|
Seems like it does not stack to 2. :/
|
Confirmed, I have a free name change on my account.
|
Oh its definitely confirmed. Finally got that ugly spsblade off my name ^_^
|
|
|
Ok time to choose something original, but between Killer and Dream, what to choose? :O
|
Dunno if my second account is old enough to have 2 but it currently lists me as only having one, i dont THINK they stack but i could be wrong...either way i think its pretty sweet :D
|
I haven't used my name change and it says I have 1 name change remaining.
|
Very cool. I wouldn't mind them giving us name changes annually until they establish a permanent method to change it.
|
Guess that's what Blizzard tries to appease the Terran players with for the next patch. :D
|
I no longer have a free name change 
|
Ahhh thats pretty neat, they should give a free one every new season
|
YEEEEEEEEEEEES! Love this!! Thanks telling OP, else i might've not found out!
I dislike my last name change, so i'm veeery happy with this ^^ wohoo
|
Does not stack to 2. But its whatever I dont need a name change anyway.

wow ... apparently I am in the Diablo 3 beta now as well ... anyone have that just happen today ? or have I just not known about it ?

People are saying yes for something which should be free and unbounded... Blizzard need to get their **** together and implementent bnet 0.3 upgrade instead of this bnet 0.2

nice...finally i can use my smurf account when i have friends over...as the name i use is embarrassing for my korean friends/family to read XD
on another note, stop being so grateful, it should be unlimited/limited to begin with. i email them before and relied"sorry, there is nothing we can do" and it pisses me off because its obvious they can do something about it. feels like a dog being trained with treats.

pretty excited ... hopefully others got in as well today !

|
|
|
But why would I ever want to change my adorable name??
Well, nice of them! I wonder if they will say anything about it.
|
I really wish it would of stacked. The only reason I haven't used mine is because I don't have an option to revert back to my old name if I decide I don't like my new one lol. I guess I will never use my name change @_@
|
Hm...
Should I or shouldn't I?
I mean, I've been getting pretty tired of people commenting on my name saying stuff like "XiGua is Zerg you know, Bad smurf, Why the name XiGua?, You know there is a progamer named XiGua?".
But... It's MY name since BW/WC3 days... Gah, I don't know what to change it to anyways. I think I'll stick with XiGua and wait for the day when I can face the Zerg XiGua in a progame and DEFEAT HIM.
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!!
|
pfft, same name since beta :D
I should get an achievement for that 
|
EU also got one, I got one at least!
|
im afraid to change mine now lol xD
|
My brain exploded. Finally. :D <3
|
thanks dude
|
|
|
I'm actually kinda mad because I never changed my name.
But I liked my first name...
can't i just accrue namechanges in a pile and sleep upon them like some sort of services dragon?

I don't really need a name change but I went on account manager anyways. Turns out I had the D3 beta this whole. friggin. time. *sigh* I don't understand why I didn't receive an e-mail for this.
|
Lame, it doesn't stack to 2 :[
|
YES!
Last time they did this i tried to name myself "Zerg" to be funny, since i wasnt aware that many people can have the same ID. So ive had that shitty ID since then,
its so good to change back!!
|
Just confirmed in the EU.
|
|
|
New name change with each season now?
|
To be honest, its awsome, but they could have really announced it a bit before
|
Finally. I was getting tired of everyone saying Xygnus wrong...
|
Forgot to use mine... oh well!
|
Oh yeah ! That's pretty cool, it was annonying to keep my CN! tag while I'm no longer CN since april xd
|
YES FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY THANK YOU BLIZZARD.
It only took them like a year to get around to this and almost six months since that 100 page thread on their forums but at least it finally happened.
|
So happy about this, now i don't have to sport a teamtag that no longer exist lol
|

Siiiick :D Thanks OP wouldnt have known otherwise!

Yes! Thank god, thank you for posting this, would have never known! They need to allow us to change you're TL in game now xD

wow i was so close to using my name change yesterday and thought.. nah don't need it, I don't want to waste it... now they do this and it doesn't stack to 2!!

Yeah...It's really small that it doesn't stack but it's really lame that thy wouldn't even announce it. If I'd known I would have gotten another name change I would have used mine to get my clan tag. This is irritating.

Blizzard could of decided to do fuckall and just not even bother

Doesnt stack....
My fault for expecting too high...
|
Thank god I used it lol. Now I get another free one! woot.

Hmm now there's not going to be any ROOT players in the ladder anymore, T_T
ROOT is really dead now.

Misleading title. Silly Blizzard not letting it stack.

Be grateful for something that used to be seemlessly free and is now pointlessly restricted? K.
I see blizzard got someone by the balls.

Still sad that there's gonna be nobody laddering under ROOT anymore. =(
|
Just changed mine finally to what I have as my username on Team Liquid! :D
|
it doesnt stack? imba crap :p
|
wow year later after bitching we get one more... lol
|
I'm very happy with my current name but when it comes time for me to be recruited by a pro team this will be useful!
|
damnit i shoulda switched my name earlier for the hell of it... now I feel ripped off.
|
Once again abstinence doesn't prove to be worthwhile
|
NAAAAAAAAAAAAME CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGE

Right after I got another account to be ClashVirgil instead of just Virgil.....
Oh well, looks like I'll be saving mine for a long time!

Because if it doesn't, he can't use the name (at least in a perfect unshortened way) and he's wasted his name change?

I'm saving mine in case the Doctor ganks the Eternal Dalek in Series 7. Rumor has it that the Eternal's role is to run away whenever the daleks are in danger so that they will never be fully exterminated by their enemies.
I could change my name to TheMaster or TheNeverendingDrumbeat depending on the character limit.

Such bullshit it doesn't stack to two.

i am grateful when it calls for it -- i'm very grateful they listened to the community and have been making the ladder map pool better with every release, even going so far as to include two TL map contest winners this season.
i see nothing that calls for it right now though =/

If I can't change my name to the 13 characters one then I want to still keep my current name, but according to the message on the Blizzard site I can't do that.

Is it possible that it doesn't stack to two but if someone who has never used 1 uses their first it won't actually drop to 0 and just stay at 1

I don't understand people complaining that it doesn't stack. Since you didn't use (need) your first namechange, what's the problem with not having 2? I guess you just feel good when you complain. This scene seems to have alot of those guys.

It's like you save 100$ for a rainy day while everyone else is spending theirs wildly. Then everybody gets 100$ EXCEPT the people that saved.
They're punishing people for being careful and cautious with using their name change while rewarding people who wasted it.
|
I didn't use my last one. T_T
|
Mehhhh.... Why did they not anounced it. For me it´s like nothing happened. I would have used my free change instantly and have another in reserve, if it could stack.
|
Yay nice news i am glad i used the first one now i can revert back to the first name i had
|
Can someone who still had a free name change use it and see if the also get a second?

That analogy doesn't really apply. If it would, you could buy the same thing for 100$ and 200$. Unless you really want to change your name 2 times in a row, which would be kinda silly.

right after i message customer service about getting them to change it for me or giving me another one... thanks blizz lol
|
finally !!!!!!
"Name Change Coming Soon!" was really getting on my nerves.
|
MuleKingPrime here we come... :D
|
DragonXHunter here I come!
|
It should definitely stack if you haven't used one of them. I don't plan on changing my name, but if I ever get the impulse to do so, I'll probably regret it somewhat and want to change it again
|
Finally! May HerO will finally get a liquid tag =P
|
Well, that's cool, but I think it's long overdue considering many people have wanted one for a long time. I don't need it though since I like my current name and I think I'll stick with it forever.
|
|
|
Man that must suck if it doesn't stack.
But yay, get to fix my ugly name :D

Yay! well then again, once Blasterion, always Blasterion

though I don't need to use it....

well about damn time
now make them periodic or something, 1 name change every 3 months?

is this Blizzard response to calm the community down from the bnet 0.2 riots?lol

I think they did this because of the ramping criticism of the UI neglect.

If you ask me - until Blizzard implements infinite name changes (paid or otherwise), the professional players should refrain from using their team name in their name. Even though most tourneys/streams will have it accurate on the overlay, it's just...WEIRD to me when I still have to see LiquidHuK or dignitasnani on the ingame stuff.

Hi guys, we know you're all upset about the b.net 0.2 and the meagre, empty sad UI, so here's a free name change for EVERY ONE OF YOU! now.... about those pitchforks....

It's about time blizz did this....now I can change my name on one of my accounts. Thanks for posting this.

This is great news for any players that has any clan/team tag that they are no longer associated with.

This is cool, I for one am thrilled. But I'm kinda sad about how excited I am. C'mon Blizz. At the very least give us a reasonable paid option to change our name more frequently. Or let's be real, a name change every season, every 3 months, every something.. ?

Ah man, 12 characters???
I was hoping for 15...
I guess that means "CharlesBronzerg" is out.

Yay now I can now finally switch to WPWP.Fitz too bad I can't change my TL name haha

I can't believe it. Thank you blizzard for giving us the smallest freedom in doing what almost every other game allows people to do whenever they want. And it only took them a year!!!

For changing clan names all you have to do is contact blizz with the change info and they will change it right up for you (or so I've heard). They just don't want players spamming name changes everyday as i would make the ladder very confusing.

It would be cool if it DID stack to 2, sigh. Oh well, I don't have the need to change my account.

NOOOONYYYY!!1!!1
Thats TSL2 Champ nickname.
Nony TSL4 champs, heard here first.
|
Damn, wish it stacked. I hadn't used my first one yet. ^__^
|
finally, no longer is does my name no longer match my favourite ID, curse my ignorance for vainly changing it in the first place
i am Forikorder in game once again!

Lol, exciting news! :D
Now you won't know who anyone is after this.
This changes everything!

how about having a clan leader who must give blizz certain information such as clan name, website or blog, maybe other requirements. After that the clan leader can control who has a tag on or not. that way its not confusing

oK LIQUID, now you guys can hire me, so i can change for liquidSapo

I wonder why 'lord' is disallowed for names. My brother always uses that handle combined with his name and for some reason he wasn't allowed. Kinda silly that the name change doesn't stack. They've turned name changing into such a scarce commodity to that reduces us to beg for scraps that Blizzrd throws us.
Fortunately I have no desire to change my name.
|
this bugs me because the only reason I have not used my only name change is because I thought I would never get another... and even with this news I am still in the same position because it doesn't stack. why can't blizzard pull their shit together and give us a $10 name change or something reasonable for gods sake
|
I can't change my name at all.. It doesn't explain anything.. just tell me to choose a different name. What the heck?
|
Imagine Juan's face when he saw this thread.

DrowSwordsman is 13 characters . Thinking about just going for "Drow".

Awesome, now make LiquidTylerDurden fit as a name and I'll be happy.

Lol at the amount of people that want a name change... its not like you guys had the name SlayerSBoxeR or anything i mean what idiot would do that?

I wonder why they're so against selling name changes. You'd imagine it would take someone only an hour or so to set up, and maybe a day or 2 to debug.

Pretty lame. They should have told us in advance so that people that still had their name change could atleast use it first. -_- Or atleast make em stack...

Finally! Time to change it again

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

you only get one name change. i never changed my name before and it is showing one name change left.

Really don't understand why they don't just put in a paid name change straight up. Blizzard really confuse me sometimes...

Hey Poke, I'm guessing that Pro's have to pay for the name change if they say join or switch teams, or the like?

YES Finally I can change all of my accounts to the names of candy I like. My Terran account is already Jolly Rancher, my other accounts can have stupid names like that too!

They have to buy a new account if they want their name changed again, that's why Huk was still using LiquidHuk even though he has been on EG for half a year or so, or why Polt was still at the top of the KR ladder with Poltprime, instead of TSLPolt.
I really wish names were more than 12 characters (maybe 15), it really cuts back the options.
|
yea they do have a paid name change feature. costs 65 dollars. 75 for the special edition name change.
|
I love my name. Been using it for too long to change it into anything else. But having that option is fantastic.
|
I just logged in btw to check this! And it says
"We'll be back soon .. follow us on twitter etcetc" jesus christ 
edit: perhaps they haven't done it yet for the EU serv.
Saw it working on NA at least.
|
pretty stupid it doesn't stack to 2 they really need to make it so you can have 2, its not fair to people who have no changed theirs name yet
|
oh god, the pressure's on to find one I like and won't hate within a month
|
God damn it, I've been saving my name change for when I really needed it. The least Blizzard could do is allow the name change to stack.
|
Finally, I get to change my name to something illustrious and innovative!
AzNdRaGoNbOi!

Awesome thing for Blizzard to do
If only they would have stacked so I could have 2 right now

Thanks for the name change after I got my new LighT account

Why would you ever want to have to pay to change your name? Should be unlimited free changes just like it essentially was in BW.

Yeah, should definitely be possible to make new "accounts" in the same way as you make new characters/accounts in bw+wc3 and even WoW. :/

x.x Lame.
I would have liked to toy around with a new name... and had an extra one in reserve >.< That's why I didn't change my name in the first place lol. So I wouldn't get stuck with the second one. Sigh.
|
The name that I originally used and changed away from is what I kind of wanna change back to, but I feel like I'll just regret the switch so I'll probably just save the name change for another time

I could see that leading to a lot of abuse though, like smurfing by decent players simply to do stupid things or mess with noobs.

Would have been nice to have it stack... oh well. better just find one good one and stick with it

Yup, it's ridiculous. It's like they expect us to believe that there's a Blizzard secretary somewhere that has to manually change each name in their database, or something.

Blizzard decided to give us a FREE Name change, why thank you sir!!
This thread makes me wanna cry....
Look at this thread, people are head over heels about them being able to change their fucking nick on Battle.Net. Disgusting since it should be given.

I guess they got enough complaints that they finally gave us all name changes.

fans rejoice, haters go apeshit

I ... Am so happy right now... thankyou SO much Blizz-i-Blizz ;D

Lol it's about time.
Blizzard get no thanks from me for something that should have been available ages ago.
It's also completely ridiculous that it doesn't stack. Hopefully that's just an error and it'll be fixed soon.

It's about time. I wish they would've given me a heads up though so I could've used mine and still have one in the bank.

I wish this would stack... =[

I wish this would stack too, I was so hesistant to change my name in the first place because I knew I only had one chance.

Nice one, Blizz!
No point complaining. Just receive.

Sigh. It doesnt stack.
I havent changed my name coz I only had one and wasnt sure I wanted to change it if I couldnt change it back, and now i'm STILL in the same boat. :/
I actually wonder if people think these changes through T.T

Well, at least it shows they haven't forgotten about bnet 0.2. This is at least something to tide things over until D3 release which is probably when they intend to introduce paid name changes.
|
Oh fuck yeah :D
I know we deserve more, but I thought I'd be stuck with the stupid name I decided to change my ID to while being drunk for the rest of WOL, so I'm grateful :D
I think some people need to play some games from shittier developers, compared to what bungie did with halo 3 and halo reach, Blizzard is the nicest/most supportive developer in the hole wide world.
Sad that it doesn't stack though, I'd have two on NA...
|
Isn't it amazing how little it takes for people to rejoice and praise Blizzard these days? They've successfully deprived the community of pretty much every feature that has been requested over the last year and a half yet countless players act like the benevolent creators never took a break in showering the customers with gifts.
It's nice we're getting something, even better that it's free. Just remember that in previous games we didn't have to ask for things like these or wait over a year for them, because they were standard at release.
|
wow we should be sooo grateful for this !
...
...
-.- in fact all name changes should be for free, and we should be able to use numbers and symbols in our names.. but ok..
|
Blizzard 2019. An amazing day today, the cost of searching 1v1 on ladder is being reduced from 0.19c to 0.17c! Feel free to recharge your account via Paypal, the worlds last remaining bank.

It doesen't stack.
|
Finally was able to change my clantag on US
|
Instead of making everyone wait until we know how that integration could affect a name change system, we’ve decided to provide an additional free character name change for StarCraft II players eager to pick something else.
These two sentences are written as if one logically follows from the other... but I'm not seeing it. Am I being stupid? What has a free name-change got to do with the possible integration of battlenet tags?
|
It may very well not stack because they just use a true/false value in their database and don't want to code anything more complicated. They could as well "offer" a name change each week/month with this system.
|
Grateful for the idea, but I haven't used mine and it appears to not stack, I am changing my name soon sooo idk.. kinda feel like I got screwed, idk

that sucks, I didn't use the last one, if I'd known you'd get another name change I'd have used it the first time

Well, I haven't used mine, too. It does not stack. It is not the worst thing ever, but nevertheless I think it is unfair in some way. Why shouldn't I get a second name change if I use them very rarely.
But like I said... it is not that big deal.
|
Doesn't stack to two I'm afraid. Doesn't really affect me, havn't changed my first time yet, nor do I plan to, but props to Blizzard for doing this anyway
|
Does anyone know if you use a different "BattleTag" than your ingame SC2 nick if it will overwrite the name once they activate it for SC2?

I haven't used such option yet, and probably won't anyway. But I think, since Blizzard stores each player's results per season, perhaps they could attach a specific name per season too, and thus allow change for each new season, without causing too much confusion.

i didnt used my first, because I had only 1 name change, and so I dont use it now, cause it doesnt stuck to 2!

Well given that hots won't be out anytime soon and knowing blizzard they won't implement battletag before hots it's kinda safe to say you should get another free change anyways in the next few months.

Awesome thanks for this info ^^

OH YES! Didn't give much thought to my previous name and regretted it! FINALLY a chance to make a change!

mmm ... something with jenkins and only play all ins screaming Leeroy and pulling all workers too. Quiet normal they just reset it, way easier to do and if they plan to turn it into value added service, you wouldn't want people to gather them.
Anyway nice to see battletags are still in works, namechange reset means indicates though, that they won't do it anytime soon.

Do they allow names like ITakeItUpMyBatty or are they censored?

Well I must say if anyone didnt, few weeks ago I used my name change, and after I had 1 more change again! So maybe someone who had free name change available and changed it can confirm is there another one?

An additional name change? Whoopie doo, I hope BattleTag makes name change unlimited in the future.

I don't get why some people are saying "thank god i can change from this awful name"
I know a lot of people probably didn't realize you couldn't change them like in bw, but how did you land on a horrible name that you dislike so much that you are celebrating a name change?
I use to be one of those guys who made x number of accounts back in the day, but I always wondered what my actual record was... it was like an impulse I couldn't help. Thankfully in sc2 I don't have that option and has worked out awesome because now I can just play and know exactly where I stand

I disagree could see them adding cross-region support, just you need to pay for an account on each.
That way it would make it easier for pros to handle without resorting to third-party plugs/multiple installs, as well as making it a more viable sales option to SC2 players who are being held back from multiple regions because the size of new DL and effort required is not worth the outcome.
Also namechange was sick, JuJiSC no more. I was so high when I picked that name(was meant to be like JuJiSuSC, but i messed up LOL).

A quick query about name changes as I've not sued one before and I can't find the info anywhere else, do you still show up on people's friend lists when you change your name. I'd assume so, but it seems to be a bit of a pain otherwise so could anyone confirm?

Yes you still show up and the name changes on your friends list.

wtf you'd think blizzard would notify a bit earlier, so people that havent used their first one could use it before this happened, and then save the new one for later
still good i suppose
