Possible to change user name?

First let me apologize if this has been answered before - I searched but did not find an answer.

I helped a friend sign up but he chose his "real" name as a userid and would like to change it to something more anonymous. Since multiple accounts are forbidden, is it possible for him (or an admin) to change his user name?

Changing user names is generally not possible. However you can contact an admin to see if they're willing to make an exception in a case like this.

I think it has to be offensize (racist etc) for admin to allow a change. You're friend's name isn't "Nigs" be any chance is it? (Short for Nigel.)

Tell your friend to contact an admin and they will deal with it. I think the chances for getting one's username changed under those circumstances are pretty good, and as long as he doesn't go and post in the fora until it's changed noone will even know it ever happened.

As MeDeFe mentioned, have your friend go to the Help Page, and open up an E-ticket to the General Inquiries dept and explain his situation in detail, and we can look into it.

Dude, are you serious? Have you been living under four rocks, three sheets of limestone, soil and grass for the last two years?

Surely we can get a system for name changes now.The site has been going for a while and a program in E-Bay for changing names has been going for years now.
Plus Ewarzone lets a player use 2 different names.
Come on admin keep up with the time.


P.S...No way I will fill in an E-Ticket.
