I´m a new player and I love MWO. I´ve already sunk money into it and I want to buy more more more! However I really wish I could just do a simple thing like change my name. This feature should be implemented as a pay to change option or something! When i created my account I had no idea this name would be visible to everyone as I thought it would just be my account name.

In short I´d really like a name change and I´m willing to pay!

You can contact support for a name change. It's not the same as a pay-functionality but it will work if you have a valid reason. It looks to me, like do.

Edit: Self-liking posts makes you look silly! Some will dismiss your posts just because of that (which makes them silly). It will be mentioned as "reason" and disturb some otherwise valid and serious topics. Please try to avoid doing that in the future.

Although that might work I would like to add that an ingame function actually does make sense since MWO does support VoIP now - many players have chosen nicknames which are hard, insulting or even impossible to speak out loud. When there was no VoIP this wasn't a real problem, it also isn't for groups who know each other - but it might be a problem in a pug match (for those who actually want to use VoIP).

This will work and will take about an hour or two from sending a mail to having the name changed. (on a regular week day)
Due to the problems you listed you have to actually send an email to support and give a valid reason for your namechange, not just click a button. If you have an insulting name or whatever, support will be eager to know why "SuckMyDickTwatWaffle1337" wants to be called "Another Grayson Death" :P

I´ll try contacting support then guess it is time to begin looking for their email address haha. Anyway I´d like the feature available and I know I´m not alone.

Thanks for the responses guys.
