Just curious, maybe I'm missing it somewhere but how can we update our account name so long as it's not taken?

I'd like to propose the following, perhaps even as a transaction for $$ to help support them but:

1) Allow us to change our name once a quarter, 6 months or year so long as it's never been used. I.E. Aliases, which are then assigned to your account.
2) Track history, so someone can look up another player by their old name as well as the new and show those changes under their account. I.E. Someone's being a complete jerk, they shouldn't be able to simply rename and dissappear completely. Filtering/Ignoring a player with a bad attitude should continue to have effect even if they rename.
3) Allows us to assign [Tags] in case we want to more easily associate with a unit/house/clan.
4) If a monetary transaction, helps the devs out and supports MWO.

Frankly, I picked my name as a random but would like to use a different name altogether. Unfortunately, my email account is already in use and assigned to this account. Seeing as how we don't even have characters yet, I wouldn't mind being able to change it but no idea where to submit a support ticket. Most games I've played have allowed name changes, including F2P MMO's like Guildwars, ST:O etc... just have to pay a one time fee.

Thoughts??

You will find an option to change that in your profile page, My Settings page, on the left, second option.

Hope that helps

In the Edit My Profile section there should be options on the left, the one you are after is Email and Password.

Ok, I did not realise that was the thing you wanted to do. I have no idea.

[Belisarius1]

Isn't that what the OP is about?

Regardless, fair enough. I think name-change functionality is important but there do need to be limits on it, like once every 6 months or a small per-change fee.

Well , I DO look like an ***** !!

Try this thread

http://mwomercs.com/...capitalization/

But just post

Shai tan

Or

Shai Tan

if you want the T as well

dont post anything else, just the capitilised version you are after.

If you post "please change my name to Shai Tan, thanks in advance" or similar it wont work

[Dymitry]

I agree, I would pay to get my bloodname appended to my pilot name when (not if) I earn mine.

[warner2]

My name was changed from warner__ to warner2, I'm guessing as some part of a clean-up of user names (removing special characters). I really don't like names with numbers in them (waves as warner3, hello warner4!). A rename would be useful, especially as players like to add their unit "tags" to their forum name.

[Victor Morson]

Yeah, I think a thread should be started about this. Several very active members got "2" stuck at the end of their name because of special characters, ranging from fancy ASCII stuff to something simple, like basic math symbols. It really is hugely unfortunate for these people and I think they should be allowed a name chance under the circumstance, honestly.

[Gabriyel]

Exactly, a name change or appending a sur-name/bloodname etc... even simple capitalization or grammar errors would be nice. As I posted previously, there need to be limits and probably a history where no one else can use the name once it's been used once, this way you don't accidentally choose a name for some jerk that everyone hates.

There needs to be a time limit, probably store purchase as in other games, as well as history so you can track a player. I.E. player ignore/ban continue to work. I mean let's face it, we're not all just going to 'get along' and it's a necessary feature.

[CarlBar]

As somone who's got his legendery i'd reall like this. I made my forum name/pilot name assuming i'd have to enter it every time i logged in, (rather than my email as is the reality), so i chose somthing easy to remeber rather than becuase it was a good nickname and would love to change it before it gets added to the credits to somthing better. Any word on this?

[Naughtyboy]

lucky i was first with mine no need for changing anything but i agree with you guys that their should be an option to change name,but not everyweek and limited to some set times so their would not be some kind of abuse doing so.

[Razor Kotovsky]

So, basically, when i registered on 1st nov 11 it didn't accept 5-letter nicknames. And now it does.
See where i'm going with that?

[Draken X]

I wanna make a debate about the change in allegiance icon.

I've switched the allegiance from lone wolf to merc corp, but the in-game profile haven't changed, still lone wolf. I believe other players may have this problem.
