I've had a good amount of folks contact me about the Forum Names -- some of them have a valid reason for forum name changes, others just want it because the wind changed.

If someone has a legit reason why their forum name needs to be changed -- I.E. put in the account key for their handle, used their real name as their handle, accidental spelling error, or their forum name breaks the forums for some reason. These are things that I can see allowing a one time name change and we'll do what we can to try to accomodate the requests.
Does this apply to anyone who created their forum account before they started the game, I needed to create an account before I chose a proper name due to a problem I had getting it to run, I'd rather that I had my forum name the same as my IGN but does that fall into the wind changed category?

Best bet is to PM Raij, and tell him. He might not read this very often.

Sorry, just have to go off topic for a small second.

Roukan, this is by far the worlds greatest sig ever!

Just asked Raijinn and he said no. We will only change names for the reasons he listed above.

To recap:

 - Using Real Name
 - Accidental Misspelling
 - Using Account Key
 - Handle Breaks Forum Format
 - Handle Violates TOS

Lol, that is *CENSORED*.

The SGW forums are nice and just change it, seeing as it isn't that big of a deal to do it.

LOL they only do something AFTER they break the policy and try and make it look like it always was this way.

Like they stated before, the policy was no changes. /clap for managing to force the change in policy to all you guys.

It's their policy. They can do whatever the hell they want with it.

What do you mean by "account key"?

The character I was using when I created my user handle is no longer in existence. I want to change my name to the chracter that I have been using for sometime. It seems a little odd that this can't be done. SMILEY
