Change wow account name

While the World of Warcraft account name currently cannot be changed, you may want to look into the new Battle.net account system. A Battle.net account allows you to link one or more World of Warcraft accounts to a single login that uses your email address as the login name instead of your original World of Warcraft account name.

More information regarding the Battle.net account system can be found on the following FAQ page:

Q u o t e:
Was this policy different at one time? A friend of mine had a character the same name as his account name, and after several weeks of reporting it for various reasons, he finally asked a GM what could be done, and they said he could have the account name itself changed, at least, I think that's how it went..

If you want to do the research, Dalcris on Lightning's Blade, maybe I was wrong about what was said, I know you probably can't tell me much considering it's not my account

It appears that there may be some confusion regarding what happened with your friends account in regards to a character name change vs. an account name change. Regardless, I can confirm that so far we have never supported the ability to change a World of Warcraft account name.

I apologize if this causes any type of inconvenience for you, Valalvax.
