28 [BANG] HMSTog Members 166 posts 5,852 battles Report post #1 Posted March 30, 2016 So WG recently decided to change my account name from MajorDouche_1 to RenamedUser100##########. I'm not sure how a name like MajorDouche was offensive to anyone other than myself. I'm guessing its because a [edited]is a device for cleaning female genitelia, but then again, it's also french for shower. In any case I heard that after WG renames your account, you are allowed a free name change, but when I go to account management, they're asking for 2500 gold. Is there a way to make the name change free? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got a free name change even without having my name forcibly changed, but I have no idea why. Maybe put in a support ticket and see if they'll let you have one for free?

So an officer by the name of "Major Shower" would be known by "Commandant Do....." Of course, I'm not French, so this is IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL There's some strange ones in the censoring system... "wth" is what you get when you try and post the version of it with an "f" for the ending, and I'm surprised that "crap" isn't censored.

1,815 [-KIA-] ValkyrWarframe Members 5,245 posts 16,594 battles Report post #17 Posted March 30, 2016 Maybe you'll love your name sooner or later. I originally opted for "Mohandar881" like the rest of my profiles and such, but since that name was taken I opted for my current one. I'm starting to wonder whether I should change my name on the other websites too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest 0 posts Report post #20 Posted March 30, 2016 If WG system renamed your account, you are given a free name change. Contact support. Indeed, send in a ticket, and wait, sometimes the service can be rather slow, and hopefully they will give you a free name change to pick a new name without charge.
