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.


Well i dont even know what to say. 1.5 year to implement the simplest name change feature. What the hell is wrong there. Are they working for 2 hours/week?

Just because it seems simple to you doesn't mean that Blizzard is lazy. Maybe one day when you have a big boy job you'll see it's not some simple matter to do something productive in the massive mess of bureaucracy that is a corporation.

OMG... Blizzard RULES! THANKS CECILIA!!

You can all thank me for the letter I wrote this morning to Blizzard. Just teasing about thanking me, but really, the timing is that incredible.

Why not just make a limit so you can only change your name once per season, or once per 2/3 months? I guess this way is better at making the $$$ so why pass it up... still sucks imo!

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?

Charging for it is a good idea to discourage it from being used. Basically the same reason why you can't name change in TL if you have over 500 posts. So that people will tend to have 1 identity in the community.

Having a cooldown but no costs would make it feel as though you are able to change your name once every two months, or whatever the cooldown is,without consequence.

It should be both paid and have a cooldown.

Barcode here I come. Oh, and how about making an account with my legal name so I'm forced to be well mannered? It will be a self improvement project. xD

Nice, would LOVE to see one here on TL as well (I personally don't want to stick with this name any longer, but I created this account shortly before changing my SC2 ID)

So, before (vanilla/bw) you could make unlimited numbers of accounts for free and now we should be eager to have paid name change ?
Nothankyou.


Also lol at the reason. Name change feature is a 1h job max.

I think they should give us a free name change every Season, too. I don't like paying for something pathetic as changing my name in a video game.
I want to be with those who share secret things or else alone.

Is blz serious?! PAID name change for a simple embedded database command on their website?! IF they are concerned about ppl changing their names too often just make it once per season and thats it. Writing these statements and giving ppl feedback on it takes more time then actualy implementing the code :D
