Is it possible to change your name?
« on: May 11, 2010, 08:00:45 pm »
On the forum I mean. I have recently switched my in-game name, and my name on other forums, to Wyvrn, because dreamz is too popular and too close to "SweetDreamz" (the player).
So would it be possible to change to Wyvrn? Or do I have to make a new account?
Thanks! :)

I do believe, good sir, you have to make a new account, ask the moderators' permission before doing so, and if they approve, have them delete your old account.

An admin can edit your name, but it's quicker to make a new account if you don't have a post-history you care about.

Nobody cares about multiple accounts unless you use them all at once.

Thanks! I won't get in trouble if I don't ask first right?

 ??? You did just ask.

Just make a new account, put a line in the new account's sig that you used to be called Dreamz if you want, and don't use the old (Dreamz) account anymore.

PM me to get account name changed. I prefer changing names that duplicate accounts.
