Dear Admin - Can I change...

When I originally set up the game way back – I picked an old charatcer name from another MMO that I never really liked thinking it would be more of a security thing and not realising that this would be your in-game Display name.

Consequently I hate it as it’s like a girls name which I am not and only serves to confuse people I play with. I realise support has lots and indeed better things to do no doubt, but I am willing to pay crisp pound notes to get this changed to something I actually desire.

Name your price admin/support!!

Hey there. I’m sorry that you don’t care for your display name, and I can understand that you would like to change it. Unfortunately, we don’t have an option to change display names right now, even in exchange for those delicious crispy pound notes you so kindly offer.

It’s possible that we may offer a display name change option in the future, but I am not sure that this feature is on the to-do list, and I cannot give any sort of timeframe for its possible implementation. (If it did come — and again I’m not sure it ever will — it’s not coming soon, that’s for sure.)

I do want to mention that for the most part, all that someone sees in the game is your character name, and your display name here on the forums shouldn’t trouble you too much.

Thanks for understanding.
