Username

by **deutsches risk** on Mon Jul 27, 2009 6:18 pm

I know this is pretty much a long shot, but is there any possibility to change your username? I looked at the settings, but it's not possible from there. Maybe admin can do that for you?

I chose my username by picking the first thing I saw, which unfortunately was a German financial publication dealing with Risk management!

Really regret it and absolutely hate it now...

Thanks...

Names are names!

I used my RL name for my username, imagine how much I regret that! Pls admins, find a way for us to change usernames! I thought it was just the name of your account and on forums and chats, it was different and you will never forget your RL name so I used it :lol:

I'll mention to Lack to see if he can offer a brief line of guidance on the sign-up page about thinking your username over and not using any self-identifying choices.

That's the best explanation for a username I've ever heard.

Yeah good idea. I just picked this name because I would never forget it and if I knew it was used in game and on the forums, I would never use my RL name.

Perhaps you should have changed your name in RL, to a cool sounding user-name, prior to joining the site.
