Nice for a free name change.

Though can't wait for the paid name changes for those who constantly change their names and won't have to buy a copy of SC2. :x

Everyone should stop such being a bunch of moaning bastards for once and be glad when they get something they asked for.

Two free name changes plus the option to pay for more sounds fine to me. How many times do you people want to change your name?

It's the 3rd free name change iirc... And tbh I prefer paid name changes over a f2p model!

Is paid name change what you ask ?
Free name change every seasons should be the strict minimum, raise you standards.

This has nothing to do with the quantity, it has to do with blizzard being way too damn lazy about doing something simple.
But I think ppl also get the wrong reasons as to why they're complaining about. I really think Blizzard first implemented that one name only so we can identify the players before starting the game.
But now with all of those Barcode players, all those things are pretty much useless.

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.

And they wonder why the percentage of players who used the free name changes is so small.....

From a technical perspective i can barely imagine that it takes more then 2 days which includes writing the code and getting it through QA, to implement a name change, hell, even a paid name change.

For them, with hots near completion, its yet another chance to sell a few more hots keys for ppl off-racing/smurfing and whatever. Expect free name change 2 years after LotV ...

I really don't understand why they didn't already do this years ago. It's a much requested feature that is easy as pie to implement and people are willing to pay for it. Only very few people are willing to buy a whole new game every time they change clans, but many would pay a small sum for altering that one field in a database.

Really, I don't like to repeat myself, but am I the only one who thinks it's better to charge people for that kind of extra stuff instead of turning SC into a f2p game everybody has to pay for continuously (to have equal access to content you would not otherwise)?

I don't really get why a name change couldn't be free and unlimited...? A cap of some sort, once a week would be fine. Charging money for one is not okay.

I've emailed blizzard, and have gotten 3 extra name tags. What did you expect them to do with your reasoning?

I dont like the ide of free or unlimited name change.
Because I play this game quite a lot and from time to time I met people that use hacks, so if you know them from before you atleast get a headsup.
I think the change you suggested would benefit the hackers to melt in way too much. They can still buy new copies or say pay for a name change, but if they spend extra cash, then I am happier! :D

Maybe I am just seeing the whole thing way too negative..

Should a game have less features because of hackers or less hackers and more features ?

Oh, that's cool. Not that I need to change my name or anything, but always good to have the choice.
Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.
