Hello.
Recently my friend recruited me and I upgraded to a normal account and bought one month of play time, however, for some reason my account was automatically named 'WoW1', and I was unable to rename it. Is there any way I can change the account name?

We no longer use specific account names, Icecreamtruc, so any new accounts are automatically named wow1, wow2, etc.. to tell them apart.

As Pahanda indicated accounts created prior to the Battle.net account system introduction will retain their names but all new ones will not have that option. I'm sorry.

If you would like to see that option introduced though, I highly recommend that you post in the Suggestion forum. Our Developers are always interested in player feedback and will be able to review your request there.
