Lets all celebrate them finally agreeing to charge us for something that should be free!

Wait I did that wrong..

Why do we want to pay for this feature again? It's not an RPG, we aren't renaming a character. It doesn't matter if we change our names on ladder because our opponents are chosen for us and we don't even play people within our own leagues, so who are we meant to be fooling?

Pay to change is a bit odd all things considered given the game, but I think it is a step in the right direction.

Still pretty dull that you have to pay for something that requires no effort at all from Blizzard.

Why does name change cost something....

You could easily get another name in WC3/BW

So that Blizzard can more easily follow all their top players and thus allow them to control things a little easier. Also, greed.

seriously their sc2 team must be like 10 people... DB, DK, MC, 2 more balancers, cloaken, 2 other community managers, and 1 misc

all jokes aside, this is great haha, even though I never changed my name xD I hope it didn't overlap like last time, and that i have 2 free name changes now and not 1 still... but doesn't matter too much to me heheh

also is nice how they were considerate enough to inform us about how clans would affect this and all

Why is everyone excited about this feature? I mean sure, I would like to change my name as well but I'm surprised or rather still find it bizzare that they want to have it as a paid service. I mean you're changing your name yet they plan to charge the customer for it >< Am I the only one who feels this way?

edit: nm, apparently I'm not lol.

Thanks for making us pay for something we can do freely in the "predecessor" made 13 effing years ago
Also, here's how i feel about this :

We’ve definitely heard your passion for this subject, and we should have more information about a Paid Character Name Change feature shortly after the release of Heart of the Swarm. In the meantime, we’ve added a new free name change to all player accounts.

Great for them to (finally) clarify this. The free name change is nice on their part... I think this is all building towards making us fall in love with Blizzard again pre-HOTS
