Hello everyone,

I am wondering if it is possible to change my name? This name is silly I have to admit, I'd like to use my known gamer tag name.

[MyFPSsuxxorsKerensky]

yeah I think I need a nickname change too... let me know if you figure out how to accomplish this... cause with Kerensky as my witness I'm sure not doing anything else at the moment

Hey guys,

Probably your best course of action is to drop an e-mail to support@mwomercs.com and explain the situation, they will be able to let you know if you can change your nickname, or at the very least what options you have open to you.

thanks for the reply... I'm just watching some videos of the Mars lander while I wait for a support response.



i'm sure everyone has seen it by now but this video is just amazing to me... 25FPS from all the way out in Mars... man technology is astounding

It is not possible...yet. I tried this when I first started, and they said currently, they are unable to change nicknames. So either, re-register with your chosen name, or use it until they do allow it. (which they said will be possible at some point, and probably for $$$)

This is not actually true. They may be refusing to change nicknames because it's a lot of work, but I saw a guy named "CocaineSamurai" morph into "Russian Unicorn" mid-thread, so it can be done. I assume it's most likely that they forced it on him, due to the drug reference in the original name.

I will be waiting for that feature to come! Looks like support for this game is solid.

[Troy Gardenhire]

Is this feature now available somewhere?

[Thorn Hallis]

Nope. Future is not now.

After I saw the features of my new SmartPhone, I believe we are in the future
