I really wish there was name changes on HOTS beta (With regards to WOL, I will be using mine. I used my name and now there are like 20 people with that name). Way back when I first used my test account I was way into Miami bass music and named one of my test server accounts after DJ Magic Mike, the well known Miami bass DJ who was kind of a big deal in that scene. Flash forward to this year, I sign into beta and see the name of my account. At first I chuckled but after being called various homophobic epithets it dawned on my why this was happening. That movie came out. If you don't believe me go check HOTS GM.

What's wrong with a free name change? It's ok if more people have troll names with this feature, no one really cares either way. Keeping track of players who often change their names wouldn't be a problem, the real id friending system and character codes work fine for identifying players.

I also don't get the "greed" argument, because paid name changes wouldn't bring blizzard much revenue in comparison to the money they get from selling the original game and expansions. Either way, having paid name changes is better than having no name changes except for unpredictable, non-overlapping free name changes, so I guess this is an improvement.

If Blizzard is unwilling to provide an unrestricted free name changes for whatever reason, they could also offer a free name change periodically, and charge for any additional name changes.

Lol fuck off, we wanted it like, 2 years ago, now only they realize it? I know it's better late than never, but now it's too late, it's not hard to make that feature, why the heck could we do that for free on Dota² for example, EVERYTIME we wish it, but not on Sc2, srsly.

I lost a lot of interest in Sc2, even though I took a picture with MMA months ago at the Iron Squid, I lost faith, I hope it'll back with Hots. Blizzard messed too much to my mind, really too much

Stupid.

How come they charge for something that used to be, and should be free and everyone is happy about it..

September 21, 2011

Recently, some inaccurate information was shared with the community in regard to the future of a paid name change service, so we wanted to take some time to clarify our current stance on the implementation of this feature. Our original plans to implement a paid name change service have not changed, and it is indeed something that we would like to make available as soon as possible. As with any feature, however, it remains a matter of scheduling it among our other development projects before it can be introduced. We’re not able to give a specific timeframe yet, but we are targeting work to begin late this year or early next year. We’ll share release plans once we’re further along in the process.

As always, your ongoing constructive feedback is appreciated.

Now to let us have two letter names so I can use mine. :/ Forced me to use my change before I could even check whether or not they decided to remove the arbitrary limit of 3 chars gg.

omg if only blizzard had done this 12 months ago when we asked, then 11 months ago when we asked again, then 10 months ago when we asked yet again, then 9 months ago when some commentator said something about it @ a tournament, then ....

blizzard is lazy. No thanks, this should have been done ages ago. You already have the system in place for WoW, no reason that they couldn't do it for SC2, they are just fat, lazy and useless.
